JVSG Alternative for Banks (2026): ATM & Vault CCTV Design at Identify-DORI Level
Banking CCTV is a regulated discipline — ATM facial-ID, vault dual coverage, drive-through, AML-grade retention, EN 62305 lightning protection on outdoor ATMs, and a branch-network rollout that has to clone cleanly across 50 sites. On top of all of that, banking vendor due diligence rejects Russian-origin software in most jurisdictions in 2026. JVSG cannot pass the screen, and its FOV-only canvas cannot model overlap or DORI snap. CCTVplanner is engineered and hosted in the European Union, ships every banking-grade feature on the Free tier, and clones branches in two clicks.

Where JVSG falls short
Five banking pain points JVSG does not solve
Banking CCTV is the most heavily regulated indoor surveillance discipline outside healthcare. The tool you draft with has to clear vendor due diligence, the DPO, the AHJ and the insurance auditor.
Russian-origin software in banking infrastructure
Banking IT supply-chain controls — EU SREP guidance, US OCC heightened standards, FCA operational-resilience expectations — all flag Russian-origin software at the vendor due-diligence stage. JVSG fails that filter before the FOV math is reviewed.
ATM and teller need Identify-DORI
ATM facial-ID and teller-station face capture both demand 250 px/m at the right working distance and angle. JVSG draws a flat FOV cone — useful but not a DORI ring snapped to the ATM keypad. We render all four EN 62676-4 rings and let you pull Identify exactly where the customer's face will be.
Vault overlap zones and dual coverage
Vault, cash-handling and dual-control rooms need overlapping camera coverage so a single fault does not blind the room. JVSG does not visualise overlap. CCTVplanner shades the overlap polygon between FOV cones — you see redundancy at a glance.
Outdoor ATM cameras need EN 62305 SPD
Drive-up ATMs and outdoor branch cameras are lightning-exposed. EN 62305 SPDs at the camera and switch end are mandatory under most insurance and AHJ regimes. JVSG omits the SPD line. We add it to the BOM automatically.
Branch network rollouts
A 50-branch retail bank rollout means 50 floor plans with a near-identical camera template. JVSG's per-machine licence file does not scale. CCTVplanner Project Copy clones a template branch into the next one in two clicks.
What CCTVplanner solves for banks
Every item is in the product today, on the Free tier — including DPIA, EN 62305 SPD lines and overlap shading.
EU origin clears banking vendor due diligence
DEFENSAR — 100% Engineered and Hosted in EU. Passes the country-of-origin and data-residency questions on EU SREP, UK FCA operational-resilience and US OCC vendor-screening templates. JVSG fails them.
DORI Identify snapped to ATM keypad and teller
Drop the camera, set focal length and mounting height. Pull the Identify ring (250 px/m per EN 62676-4) over the ATM keypad and the customer face. Same for the teller-station — Identify on the customer side, Recognise on the staff side.
Vault and dual-coverage overlap shading
Place two cameras over the vault. The overlap polygon shades automatically — you can see the redundancy zone without measuring. Move a camera and the polygon updates live. AHJ and audit ready.
EN 62305 SPD on the BOM for outdoor ATMs
Outdoor cameras flagged on the plan automatically add an SPD (surge protection device) line per EN 62305-4. Cable schedule includes SPD location at both ends. The deliverable shows the AHJ and the insurance auditor that lightning protection was specified at design time.
AML retention noted in the DPIA
EU AML directive plus national bank regulations typically require longer CCTV retention than generic GDPR (often 5 years). The DPIA worksheet captures the retention period, lawful basis and proportionality justification — auto-populated and ready for your DPO and compliance officer.
DORI Identify per EN 62676-4
ATM keypad, teller customer side, drive-up ATM and night-deposit slot all need 250 px/m at the customer-face working distance. CCTVplanner snaps the Identify ring directly to the keypad on the floor plan.
Vault interior typically needs Recognise (125 px/m) on the staff face plus full overlap. Lobby and queue need Recognise too. We render all four DORI rings live on the canvas, validated by 4,270 unit tests.
EN 62305 SPD on every outdoor camera
Drive-up ATMs, branch perimeter cameras and rooftop cameras are lightning targets. EN 62305-4 requires SPDs at the camera and at the switch end of the cable.
CCTVplanner adds the SPD line to the BOM and cable schedule automatically for every outdoor-flagged camera. The PDF shows the AHJ and the insurance auditor that lightning protection was specified by design.

Why is country of origin a deal-breaker for banking CCTV design?
Banks operate under heightened third-party risk-management expectations — EU SREP guidance, EBA outsourcing guidelines, UK FCA SYSC 8/13 operational-resilience rules, US OCC heightened standards. All of them require documented vendor due diligence covering country of origin, sanctions exposure and supply-chain risk. Russian-origin software fails the screen by default in 2026 in most jurisdictions outside Russia and Belarus. CCTVplanner is built and operated by DEFENSAR, engineered and hosted in the European Union, which clears those filters by construction.
Can I verify ATM facial-ID coverage on the design?
Yes. Drop the camera over the ATM, set the focal length and the mounting height, and the four DORI rings render — Detect (25 px/m), Observe (62.5), Recognise (125), Identify (250). Pull the Identify ring over the keypad and the customer-face standing position. If the ring lands inside that zone, the camera makes the Identify spec at that distance per EN 62676-4. Same workflow for teller-station, drive-up ATM and night-deposit slot.
How does CCTVplanner handle overlap on vault and cash-handling?
Place two or three cameras around the vault or cash-handling room. The overlap polygon shades automatically where two FOV cones intersect — that is the redundancy zone where a single camera fault does not blind the room. The PDF deliverable shows the AHJ and the audit team the overlap shading on every elevation view. Move a camera and the polygon updates live.
Does the DPIA cover AML retention requirements?
Yes. The Article 35 DPIA worksheet has a retention-period field that captures both the GDPR baseline and the bank-specific AML or national-banking-regulation override (often 5 years for branch CCTV in EU member states). The proportionality and necessity justification is pre-drafted from the camera coverage. Your DPO and compliance officer edit and sign — they do not draft from scratch.
