Bank Intrusion Detection Design
Financial institutions follow strict regulatory specifications: facial-recognition-grade resolution at teller positions, tamper-proof DVR, 7-year retention, perimeter intrusion alarms.
Bank security is dictated by regulation more than design choice. Federal Reserve guidelines (US), Basel III banking supervision (EU), and PCI-DSS for card data all impose hard requirements: minimum pixel density at teller positions, retention windows of 30-90 days minimum (some jurisdictions 7 years for fraud cases), redundant alarm reporting, and 24/7 monitored intrusion detection. Branches need vestibule mantraps with bullet-resistant interlocks.
Intrusion detection planning maps every entry point, occupied zone, and vulnerable surface to the right sensor: door / window contacts at the perimeter; PIR or dual-tech for interior motion; beam barriers along fence lines; glass-break sensors at large windows; vibration sensors on vaults / safes. Alarm zones group sensors so the panel can arm portions separately (
Bank Intrusion Detection pain points
- 01Facial-recognition-grade resolution at teller (≥250 px/m per EN 62676-4)
- 02ATM camera fields-of-view captured both transaction + face-of-user simultaneously
- 03Vault + safe deposit rooms require dual-control access (two cards + PIN)
- 04Branch perimeter intrusion sensors armed automatically at close-of-business
- 05Reporting to monitoring station + police is regulated — must be redundant (cellular + IP)
Discipline capabilities
- PIR placement covering interior choke points without overlap waste
- Door / window contacts on every perimeter opening
- Beam barriers across fence lines + driveway gates
- Glass-break detectors on shopfront / lobby glazing
- Vibration / shock sensors on vaults, safes, ATM enclosures
- Alarm zoning (perimeter / interior / 24h-armed) to support stay vs away modes
- Grade 2 vs Grade 3 (EN 50131) panel + polling redundancy choice
Coverage calculated, not estimated
The camera counts, DORI zones and compliance checks above are not rules of thumb. They come from a simulation engine that anchors every lens to the manufacturer's own datasheet, computes DORI per EN 62676-4, and clips coverage in 3D against buildings, fences and terrain, with a full browser-based 3D site view and per-camera point-of-view walkthrough in the designer.
