Retail banking is facing increasing pressure from customers, investors and other stakeholders to take a proactive stance on safety issues relating to people and financial assets. Whether it's ATM robbery or bank hold-ups, safety is becoming a key feature of corporate governance.

To address these issues reliably and cost effectively, retail banks can protect their staff and assets more effectively with Sony Network Video Monitoring solutions.

Small, discreet IP cameras can be positioned anywhere within a bank's premises to keep a watchful eye on cash desks, counters, doorways and staff entrances as well as deposit vaults and other secure areas. Staff can monitor images in real time using any desktop PC, and recordings can be archived securely for browsing and searching at any time.

Camera recordings can be activated automatically or via an alarm trigger event, and camera control can be integrated with other security elements like door access systems. Sony Network Video Monitoring dovetails seamlessly with banks' existing IT and networking infrastructures.

Legacy CCTV cameras can also be integrated easily into an all-IP network to limit capital expenditure.
