The project not only involves many cities in Brazil but also uses more than 20,000 units of analogue cameras

Dahua Technology, a world-leading manufacturer and supplier of video surveillance products headquartered in Hangzhou, China collaborated with Banco do Brasil S.A. (Bank of Brazil) for upgrading DVRs and analogue cameras in its bank security system. The project not only involves many cities in Brazil but also uses more than 20,000 units of analogue cameras and 1,500 units of DVRs.

Banco do BrasilS.A. (Bank of Brazil) is the largest Brazilian and Latin American bank by assets, and the third by market value which headquartered in Brasília, founded in 1808. It is the oldest active bank in Brazil, and one of the oldest financial institutions in the world.

As time goes by, bank security has been as important factor in safeguarding investment, people and assets. The products that Bank of Brazil been used before were clunky, unstable and less compatible. Lately they decided to replace DVRs and analogue cameras to upgrade their whole bank security system. The first thing Dahua impress them was the compatibility of the products. The DVRs and analogue cameras could accordance with its original system perfectly. Meanwhile the monitor centre was set in the control centre room which Dahua offered. 

Digital Video Recorder: DVR2116H from Dahua is an entry-level DVR which features H.264 dual-stream video compression and supports 1 SATA HDD up to 4TB, 2 USB interfaces are available and supports mobile P2P function. In order to meet the requirements from the bank, Dahua tested each version of the products to get the optimal one.

Analogue cameras: the bank was familiar with Dahua’s analogue cameras based on its good reputation. After all the tests, Dahua ensured all the analogue cameras are capable of optimised infrared effect, colour adjustment and faster responding to colour conversion.

Command & control centre: command & control centre is an integrated system which consists of computer and management software. It is able to receive all the signals from the sensors, video cameras, access control systems, detection and anti-burglary alarm, fire detection and signalling systems. The control centre system which is provided by Dahua features information unification management and equipment setting up.

The potential loss of funds may happen anytime in the bank, therefore put the right products inside and out would help the bank to catch thieves, protect customers and other serious problems that threaten it. Dahua’s bank solution is about to keep the bank away from the trends, which guarantees a prolonged useful life of all the products such as lower maintenance.

 “This is a surely successful cooperation for both of Dahua and Bank of Brazil. We are looking forward further cooperation with Bank of Brazil after we upgraded its DVRs.” said William Zhou, Sales Director of Latin-America and Africa at Dahua Technology. “Dahua provided fully technical support to the bank in order to ensure the project successfully. We are hoping the bank could become one of the oldest banks in the world but within the advanced surveillance products and solutions. ”
