Hikvision helps Turkish bank upgrade its security

CBC (Europe) at Intersec 2010

Two thousand Hikvision DS-8000HCI-S Series Network DVRs have been installed in every Ziraat Bank branch and ATM kiosk throughout Turkey.

The Hikvision DS-8000HCI-S Series network DVR come with 16-, 8- or 4-channel video and audio inputs, and facilitates real-time recording and playback with resolution of up to 4CIF. Featuring digital zoom in preview and playback, security staff can zoom in on images for minute details of cash transactions in the ATMs. Should illegal activities take place, the video footage can be viewed closely and clearly, and then turned over to the authorities for investigation.

In addition the system offers multi-channel back-up which enhances the efficiency of data downloading compared to the original single channel. With Hikvision´s CMS being used in the monitoring centre back at headquarters, Ziraat Bank can centrally manage all the surveillance devices in its branches and ATMs and get access to security status on the scene.

Ziraat Bank wanted to build a centralised surveillance system supporting high-quality video viewing and retrieval at bank headquarters in Casablanca to manage and remotely monitor the whole surveillance system covering all the branches and ATMs. Due to a limited internet connection using their private network, the bank needed to choose surveillance products occupying narrow network bandwidth to ensure smooth video processing.

With branches and ATMs located in over 2,000 different locations in the 81 provinces of Turkey, Ziraat Bank is the largest in the country.
