NCR is launching a new ATM and branch security solution for European financial institutions.

This incorporates ObjectVideo video analytics software to create automated alerts for potential security risks. NCR’s IPVS (IP Video Surveillance) takes feed from video cameras monitoring the banks’ ATMs, branches, teller queues, vaults and building perimeters. It uses video technology and business rules to identify potential security risks. Alerts can be integrated into existing security sub-systems or sent directly to the appropriate organisation for action. This is already live at a bank in Italy and pilots are underway at two others.

Raul Fernandez, ObjectVideo CEO, comments: “Our patented video analytics software and NCR service support provides banks with the business intelligence they need to improve the consumer’s experience of using their branch and ATM networks. It also enables them to take real-time decisions to prevent potential crime from occurring.”
