Trends in Banking Security

Transcription

1 Trends in Banking Security Back in the 1970s when data storage used only magnetic tapes and video recorders were high tech and expensive, banks were among the few institutions to first implement video surveillance in their security. After DVR being introduced to the public in the 1990s, the market trend gradually transited to hard-disk based digital video recorders. Later came the innovation of digital video and broadband network, the focus of video surveillance then shifted to IP video, which then led to the overall prevalence of IP cameras because of the way better video quality they offered than analog cameras. And banks have chosen their video recorders following the said transition. Their focus has gone from this transition: DVRs s Standalone s for high-resolution IP cameras and finally to s that can fully integrate into a large-scale video management system (VMS). 1

2 The Best Solution Banks have been looking for a better IP video surveillance because they havea variety of facilities that needs protection, say branch offices, ATMs, corporate buildings, cash depots and so on and they demand the highest level of security. Hereinafter we will discuss what a system should include to deliver the best video surveillance for a bank. Let us start with a branch office. A bank office needs not only good video quality but also a good layout of IP cameras to get rid of any possible blind spot for video surveillance. Cameras should be properly installed at the entry, lobby, teller windows, parking lot, ATMs, and some other secured areas such as a cash vault. It is often the case that no IT personnel is available in a branch office. IT professionals usually work at the HQ offices hundreds of miles away. They search and retrieve video from a branch in question, monitor system health, manage system parameters and update software remotely as required without leaving the headquarters. Therefore a branch office requires an that is reliable and robust in providing service and efficient in video retrieval. It is better if the can monitor system health such as system heat or potential hard disk failure. As a bank is usually a large institution with branches over a district, a state or a nation. The best video surveillance system for a bank should be able to centralize the control over a large group of HD megapixel IP cameras across a wide area of lands. And because a bank headquarters needs to take prompt reaction to an incident going on at its facilities, real-time video surveillance is needed. Only a system featuring control center solution is able to do that. With a control center and a quick response team, bank HQ can respond to a robbery or a credit card fraud with the quickest action. For an activity like transiting monetary goods, mobile s that works on the go will certainly make a better video surveillance system for a bank. Therefore the prospective video system for banks should include: Robust & Powerful Branch s As it is often the case that no IT staff is available at a branch office, the for a branch office must be robust and healthy for 24 x 7 service. It should have rich hardware redundancy to ensure non-stop service in unexpected situations and better with self-recovery to a user- mistake or an interrupt by its environment. If the branch is to be installed in a server room, it should be powerful in handling video data. In order to handle massive video data, the should have excellent read/write at high speed on a 24 x 7 basis. And it should be provided with abundant storage space and RAID features to safeguard the video data from unexpected loss. Besides, a branch should also be easy to scale up through flexible add-ons of system components. Supporting the Most HD/ Megapixel Cameras Demanding overall security of its business, a bank needs as many HD / MP IP cameras as possible to monitor their facilities and to keep security operators aware. They want an to record and stream video with at least 25 fps. They also want to view as many video as they have on an. Headquarters Control Center A control center allows the bank headquarters to remotely and real-time monitor what is going on within its asset and be instantly alerted when any abnormality comes up. An HQ control center also allows IT staff to access any of a networked at any time once management or maintenance is needed. 2

3 The Best Solution Video Wall A video wall with synchronous live videos on multiple monitors can help the bank HQ quickly cover as many conditions and situations as possible in its facilities. The video quality needs not to be compromised if the video system is enhanced with the techniques to optimize the live video streams. Mobile Mobile s are a good approach to protect a bank s personnel in CIT cars and the activities such as bank pick-up or confidential transportation of money. The mobile should have POE ports to save the cabling and wiring to supply power to in-car cameras. 4G data should be available to tether the CIT car to HQ control center. If a GPS receiver is opted for a mobile, the control center then can locate the when some emergency happens. If a G-sensor is opted for the mobile, the control center can get instant alert when some serious vibration or crash happens. Fully Integrable with ATM/POS The best video surveillance for banks should be capable of integrating videos with transaction data. The video should be synchronized with the transaction data to facilitate data analysis. The IT staff should be allowed to define a text or a number with the transaction data to launch an alarm. The integration should be quick and easy and data retrieval should be effortless. Integrable with 3rd-party Systems The best video surveillance system for a bank should support the most popular serial-communication protocols such as Modbus and Canbus. No extra cost and effort in engineering work for quick and easy integration with any 3rd-party system such as an access control system, points-of-sale and so on is a must. Remote Access Clients The system should offer rich data connections including 3G/4G and WiFi. Software clients, web-based clients and ios/android clients should be provided as well so users can access an from a PC or hand-held device or via a web browser. Powerful Alarm Management The best video surveillance system for a bank should feature powerful alarm management. The system should allow the IT staff to define which condition to trigger an alarm, whether CPU overheat or video loss. The system should also allow the IT staff to define how to launch an alarm, whether by a video pattern or by a text message that pops up. 3

4 GVD Bank Solution GVD Video Management System GVD VMS (video management system) is a system with enterprise and multi-site designs to consolidate different types of servers and a large amount of cameras and sensors onto one management platform. The system is meant to process the video from massive cameras, with the consideration for high throughput, redundancy and fault-tolerance. Hardware-wise the VMS is a stack of highly robust physical servers that includes: 1) a management console, 2) a group of s, 3) a directory server, 4) a videowall decoder, 5) a backup server, 6) a failover server, as well as 7) an integration gateway. System Overview Software-wise the system is powered by VMS Manager, a software developed by GVD to allow E300 to manage each aspect of the system. For example, an operator can use the VMS Manager to change what to output on a video wall, which to watch over, or which video to back up. The user interface uses a modern look for better user experience. And it presents an unprecedented System Taskbar at the top of every page in the software to let you jump from this function to another and keep you instantly aware of a system event. Unique System Taskbar Launched tasks System Component Management Console GVD Model E300 M95 Standalone M3 Standalone M4 Mini Enterprise M6 True Enterprise Description Works as the control unit as well as the primary input and output unit of the whole system to manage up to 8,000 channels and control every aspect of the system. For example, a user can change what to output on a video wall, which to watch over, which video to back up, etc. Are GVD s capable s to stream, record and archive video for up to 128 camera channels. The comes with high read/write ability to handle high throughput for a branch store s daily business needs. Function buttons Notification Area Directory Server C5002 Works as the system s central plafform to store the configuration data and the logs of all the system components. It is also the directory server that holds together the system components to work for the system. Delivers high-quality video walls for the system. Each decoder supports two monitors, and each monitor can show multiple simultaneous videos. The decoder also allows a videowall to receive and show the alarms from a networked. Works as the second storage of video data for the system. The server uses RAID 5 to get video data directly from IP cameras on a 24 x 7 basis and duplicates them by schedule and by event and guards from loss once the active copy in an should be damaged or destroyed. Works as a spare to assume the jobs of an overloaded or failed in the system. For example, when a networked stops working due to a power outage, it autos fails over to the failover server, with minimized or no disruption at all. The failover server can save the troubles from possible data loss and damages. Videowall Decoder D300 Backup Server X6024 Failover Server X5016 Integration Gateway C5001 Allows the system to take in a 3rd-party system such as an access control system or an alarm system, without much trouble. 4

6 Highlights of GVD VMS Enterprise & Multi-site Designs Financial institutions such as banks usually use hundreds of cameras and sensors to safeguard their property. GVD s can be easily scaled up to a large-scale VMS to manage 8,000 or more camera channels. Supporting the most popular serial-comm. protocols, it is also easy for the VMS to take in a 3rd-party system such as an alarm system or an access control system. Better User Experience The VMS Manager adopts a variety of enlarged graphics for its UI to present a modern look. The software also feature a system Taskbar unseen before to streamline user s navigation on the platform. The Notification Area on the Taskbar not only gives you a quick overview of all the system notices but also allows you to lock out the system access. Small Fanless s for ATM Cabinets GVD has a Fanless that comes with a very small 6 x 4 footprint to fit into the constraint ATM cabinet. The Fanless comes with 2 camera licenses and two POE ports, and it can bare 1 piece of 2.5 HDD/SSD. Easy Scale-up and Scale-down A system improperly designed can result in significant effect in the overall performance of the system such as video loss, slow performance or the likes. GVD VMS platform allows easy project scale-up through flexible add-ons of GVD products such as video-wall decoders, s, failover servers and so on. Mobile s for Confidential Activities GVD provides total solution for banking industry, including the rugged M1 Fanless and Mobile s, which arae turnkey s based on Windows 7 Embedded, provided with 3G/Wi-Fi/G- PS/G sensor and certified with e13 mark. They are worth your consideration for transportation of monetary goods or bank pick-up. The VMS supports large-scale projects with 100 to 200 buses, trucks, or cars. When you opt to load the mobile with a G sensor, your control center is able to locate the vehicle on map once an incident comes up. Extra Robust s to Secure a Branch Office Normally there is no IT staff stationing at a bank branch. GVD s are made extra robust for 24 X 7 running. These s have dual watchdogs and hardware redundancy such as dual power units, LAN ports and LSI-RAID. A chip-based hardware watchdog is built on the motherboard to handle any of these situations of an : Memory-overrun, CPU-overload, system hang-up. Besides, the hardware watchdog can also wake up the system by restarting it. Modern looking UI Multiple-certified s Regarding radio disturbance and electromagnetic compatibility, GVD has some s certified by EN , EN55022 and EN55024 while all s have CE mark. GVD has also some s certified by UVV-Kassen (Unfallverhütungsvorschrift Kassen), which guarantees high quality for digital recording devices for the use in banks and financial institutions. Multiple certification makes the VMS a highly competing platform. Control Center Solution GVD VMS platform allows a control center, with which the bank HQ can conduct real-time monitor over its facilities so the security operators can react without delay to any suspicious transaction or critical video image, even if the suspiciousness takes place on a CIT cars. Some of GVD s mobile s make it possible for the VMS to extends the protection beyond conventional business floors. VHD (Virtual Hard Disk) GVD loads the with a virtual hard disk (VHD), which is a Windows-based system image tool to take a snapshot of system status and software settings to recover your system within 5 minutes once a serious system failure or software corruption occurs in the future. This tool can reduce not only RMA but also the need for on-site support. For users everything just falls back into place so soon. Powerful Engine for Excellent Read/Write Unlike a conventional with a central database, GVD features an exclusive TSE (Time Sector Engine) to handle high bandwidth throughput up to 600 Mbit/s over 1G LAN port, up to 128 IP cameras at 3Mb/s, and processes video at high speed such as real-time PTZ control. Such powerful engine allows the VMS platform to support as many HD / MP IP cameras as possible to meet a bank s need for security. High-speed video processing Bandwidth Clever and Handy within Reach For a project with a large group of cameras, a variety of techniques are adopted by the to minimize the impact of limited bandwidth, including TSE (Time Sector Engine), ROI, Turbo Mode, Adaptive Video Streams, Playout Control, and Live Multicast. Users not only get fluent video streams but also get to access an or receive alarms in poor network conditions. And by the multiple clients featured, the is made mighty handy for you.
