Background

Corporation bank started banking operations about 109 years ago in 1906, with a small capital and recorded many benchmarks in business and even far more, with over 9893 service outlets across India, served by committed and dedicated 18,000 plus Corp Bankers. The bank is proud and significant contributor to the growth of the country's economy.

Challenges

Banks and financial institutions face a variety of challenges, including fraud, theft and even every-day accidents such as slips and falls. Banks face external and internal threats. External threats are direct and include armed robberies, forged documents, forced entries, physical harassment, and bullying of staff, etc.

In fact, insider threats also pose a greater risk than external threats as employees already know where the company’s ‘crown jewels’ are. These crown jewels could include the assets that drive cash flows, competitive advantage and shareholder value.

Insiders tend to know what exactly resides on the networks and how to gain access to them for the purpose of theft, disclosure, destruction or indeed manipulation. For example the leaking and disclosure of critical information could lead to the manipulation of share values.

CP PLUS’ video surveillance system allows bank to easily access video data from remote sites, including branches and ATMs

Mission

In view of the challenges, video surveillance was deployed to mitigate as many challenges as possible- external and internal besides providing effective deterrence and situational surveillance. The device deployed should be vandal and weather proof which should catch every minute detail and enable security operators to act proactively.

Impact

Apart from providing routine advantages of video surveillance like deterrence, situational surveillance, remote and flexible monitoring, the CP PLUS video surveillance system offers many other compelling advantages and features. CP PLUS’ smarter and intuitive video surveillance systems for banks & financial institutions offer following advantages as well:

Maintenance of a standard security management across multiple sites – Bank has encouraged more effective security management with all the branched sites as all of these follow the same security protocol and employ the same technology. This has not only improved the level of security, but also helped Corporation Bank stay in compliance with various RBI, state, and central regulations.

Video analytics – Video analytics is turning into a saviour these days. It automatically alerts security operators when pre-defined rules are broken. For example, if the system detects movement in a bank after hours, it alerts the security personnel or the cops in real time so they can respond accordingly. This has served as a force multiplier for branches of Corporation Bank and helped them to immediately detect as well as respond to incidents even in the absence of a security guard.

Simplified management operations – CP PLUS advanced video surveillance systems has simplified management operations of Corporation Bank. For example, the system can alert management when teller queues have grown too long, and video surveillance trends can be analysed to help ensure that the bank is staffed appropriately during busy times.

Efficient video operations – The bank can quickly and easily access video data from remote sites, including branches and ATMs. The higher authorities can now have a video of live and recorded videos from multiple cameras simultaneously. Therefore, by accessing videos associated with specific events or individuals, operators can more readily investigate incidents and effectively respond.
