Safeguarding banks and ATMs with 3D LiDAR technology

Reliable Bank Security Systems

The security of banking institutions is critical due to the sensitive nature of financial transactions and assets. Banks manage large volumes of cash, valuable documents, and electronic data, making them prime targets for theft, fraud, and vandalism. Implementing robust bank security systems is essential to protect these valuable resources and ensure the integrity of financial operations. Traditional bank security systems often fall short due to their limited coverage and susceptibility to false alarms. Advanced solutions are required to provide comprehensive monitoring and protection while ensuring customer privacy.

A promising technology for modern bank security systems is LiDAR. With its 3D detection capabilities, it enables precise monitoring regardless of lighting conditions or environmental factors. Thanks to its object-size-based detection and built-in self-monitoring, QbProtect, Blickfeld’s s Smart 3D Security LiDAR, provides seamless protection for bank branches and ATMs. Any tampering or vandalism attempts are detected immediately, while false alarms are minimized. With easy integration into existing security infrastructures and anonymous 3D point cloud data capture, QbProtect is the ideal solution for banks seeking to combine the highest security standards with complete discretion.

Comprehensive security for bank branches

From teller areas and ATMs to vaults and access points – QbProtect provides complete coverage of all areas within a bank branch through multi-sensor fusion. By learning a static background during setup, even the smallest changes within the monitored space are detected immediately. Object-size-based detection ensures reliable identification of both people and smaller objects, triggering alarms only when necessary.

Protection against sabotage and vandalism

During ATM attacks, criminals increasingly attempt to disable or manipulate security systems. QbProtect features an integrated Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and advanced software algorithms that detects even minimal vibrations, positional changes, or attempts to cover the sensor. This allows sabotage or malfunction attempts to be reported instantly.

Seamless integration into existing infrastructure

QbProtect can be seamlessly integrated into your existing infrastructure thanks to flexible mounting options and Power-over-Ethernet support. No external computing unit is required, all data is processed directly within the sensor. The device generates ONVIF-compatible events to smoothly integrate into video management systems (VMS) for centralized monitoring and control of multiple branches.

Privacy-compliant security solution

In banking environments, safeguarding sensitive customer data is paramount. Unlike traditional video or image-based systems, QbProtect captures anonymous 3D point clouds, reliably detecting motion, people, and objects without revealing any personal identities. Equipped with its own laser-based light source, QbProtect delivers precise data even in total darkness.

Securing Critical Areas

LiDAR sensors capture bank branches in 3D and ensure reliable detection of intruders or unknown objects, even in complete darkness. Unlike cameras, which can be affected by external lighting such as spotlights or other environmental factors, QbProtect can ignore such false alarm sources. In addition, LiDAR can detect when people have left an area and automatically trigger a roller door to close once the space is clear. This feature significantly reduces the risk of explosive attacks, making it an essential component of modern bank security systems.

Building Entry and Exit Monitoring

Effective monitoring of building entrances and exits is crucial for maintaining security and managing access control. LiDAR sensors provide a robust solution within modern bank security systems by capturing building access points in 3D and accurately detecting and tracking people regardless of lighting conditions. This ensures that outside of business hours, only authorized individuals can enter bank branches with absolute reliability.
