Seamen’s Bank
How Seamen’s Bank Unified Security Across Five Locations
Seamen’s Bank was relying on an outdated analog security system. SCW designed a unified surveillance platform with 8MP cameras and professional monitoring, bringing five bank locations onto one system.
01 · The Problem
The Problem
The security industry grew out of the need to protect banks, and it’s easy to see why. Banks are high-risk environments that face both internal and external security challenges, and Seamen’s Bank was no exception.
The bank was relying on an outdated analog security system. Michael Andrini, Vice President of Information Technology, was tasked with delivering a modern security solution for multiple locations that could be controlled from one unified platform.
Banking brings its own set of challenges, so several requirements had to be met to deliver a reliable and scalable system.
Key considerations
- Clear resolution for details such as bill denomination and count
- Low-light and night vision performance
- Anti-fraud: verifying transactions and resolving transaction disputes
- Professional camera monitoring
Seamen’s Bank chose to partner with SCW because of our track record in the banking and finance industry for providing unified platforms, high-quality equipment, and expertise in system design and installation.
02 · The Solution
The Solution
SCW provided Seamen’s Bank with a layered security solution that was efficient, scalable, and effective.
SCW developed a unified surveillance platform using commercial-grade surveillance hardware. The platform recorded video and incorporated professional monitoring with AI-powered, event-based detections, supporting quick responses to security incidents.
With multiple locations and specific requirements, the system included a mix of the following equipment:
Equipment deployed
Recorders (NVRs)
Cameras
03 · The Result
The Result
Five locations now run on one unified platform with 8MP cameras, giving Seamen’s Bank simpler security and a reliable, effective system that scales easily.
With clearer images, the bank finds it easy to verify transactions and resolve transaction disputes, both important in combating fraud.
The new system offers better safety for staff and customers and is fully compliant with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
- Five locations managed from one unified platform
- Easier transaction verification
- Faster resolution of transaction disputes
- Fully NDAA-compliant system
