Since May, the IP video solution from Verint^® Video Intelligence Solutions^™ has been delivering robust surveillance to Union Bank’s entire network of ATM and teller operations, and become part of its core focus on deterring threats and providing a safe and friendly environment in its retail bank branch locations.

“Verint’s solutions have revolutionized our capabilities,” says Mike Maloof, vice president and director of corporate security, Union Bank. “The ability to view scenes from numerous banking centers at the same time and on the same screen has proved to be extremely valuable to our organization. We also are able to quickly and effectively export tamper-proof digital video to law enforcement agencies.”

The bank’s legacy VCR systems were replaced with over 450 Nextiva NetDVR^™ II and Nextiva MicroDVR^™ II embedded DVRs along with Nextiva Op-Center^™ and Nextiva Vid-Center^™ software. This migration introduced the ability for the financial services organization to monitor video centrally with greater reliability, enhancing security and the ability to detect and investigate fraud more rapidly. To help meet the bank’s stringent timeline, Verint, along with integrator New Age Security Systems, installed the Nextiva Financial IP Video portfolio and completed training across all sites outlined by Union Bank in record time.

With the Nextiva solution, Union Bank is able to capture high-quality video images, optimize bandwidth and storage utilization, leverage flexible video search capabilities, and benefit from programmable video retention and storage. Also, security personnel at the financial institution can easily scan and detect the most pertinent or potentially threatening activities in their branches and ATM centers, while viewing multiple scenes in a single location or any number of branches. As a result, Union Bank is benefiting from a more complete picture of activities, lower total cost of ownership and operation, and superior security and reliability.
