    • CCTV Operational Deployment Requirements

      The following operational deployment requirements for CCTV will be maintained for all branches/facilities

      Security Surveillance operational deployment requirements

      SerOperational deployment requirement
      1Each branches/facilities entrance and exit (whether from outside or from inside a building) shall be provided with a dedicated CCTV camera, deployed to provide identification of an unknown person, e.g. 120% of screen height. Cameras looking towards the outside of the building from an internal mounting position will need a wide dynamic range in order to capture the intended target
      2All internal public circulation and assembly areas shall be provided with a camera with general views which allow the individual target to be tracked throughout the branch. This requires recognition of a known person e.g. 50% of screen height
      3Each entrance to the private (staff) domain (whether from the exterior or from the public domain) shall be provided with a dedicated CCTV camera, deployed to provide identification of an unknown person, e.g. 120% of screen height. Cameras looking towards the outside from an internal mounting position will need a wide dynamic range in order to capture the intended target
      4Provided the entrance to the private (staff) domain are sufficiently covered by CCTV there should be no need to track through the common staff areas, unless required by each individual bank policy
      5As well as a general view of the teller area, each individual teller station should have its own dedicated camera. The dedicated camera should be able to capture all transactions as well as identifying an unknown customer e.g. 120% of screen height. The dedicated camera should ideally be positioned above the teller station, looking towards the customer, but capturing the whole workstation. It is required to cover cash drawers and activity of the same area
      6Highly restricted access areas (operations room, IT servers, data centres, safety deposit rooms, tellers, operations area and any other cash dealing areas) require fixed cameras with general views which allow an individual target to be tracked throughout the area while monitoring their activities. This requires identification of a known person, e.g. 1200% of screen height. If the area is too large to be covered by an individual camera, additional cameras shall be deployed as necessary to comply with this guidance
      7The entrance to the vault/strong room/safety deposit box room shall be provided with a dedicated CCTV camera on the inside in addition to the vault entrance from the outside, deployed to provide identification of an unknown person, e.g. 120% of screen height. Additionally, the area should be provided with general views which allow an individual target to be tracked throughout the area while monitoring their activities, requiring recognition of a known person, e.g. 50% of screen height. Users of safety deposit boxes shall be provided a private area where items can be deposited and removed out of sight of the cameras
      8The entire cash and valuables in transit (CVIT) route shall be monitored by CCTV. The route should be provided with a general view which allows an individual target to be tracked along the entire path and their activities monitored, requiring recognition of a known person, e.g. 50% of screen height
      9All ATM's shall have a wide dynamic range camera within the body of the machine to identify the user, e.g. 120% of screen height. Additionally, all ATM shall have a general view camera covering the area around the machine which provides recognition of a known person, e.g. 50% of screen height
      10All branch external facades shall be monitored by CCTV. The cameras shall be able to observe the activities around the entire branch perimeter, e.g. 25% of screen height. Additionally, any external areas owned by the branch, such as customer and staff parking, should also have observation coverage.
      11It is mandatory for fixed CCTV cameras to be deployed in the following areas:
      Teller areas/teller counters focussing to teller and customer's face as well as teller counter for cash demonstration (using one camera for each teller and another camera for the drawer)
      Teller door entrance/teller counters field area
      Customer services and waiting areas
      Operations areas, back office and cash loading area
      All corridors leading to the vault, where applicable
      Branch vault room, focussing on the whole vault entrance/exit
      Branch vault room, focussing on the cash cabinet and the entrance
      Safety deposit box room entrance
      ITD server; SWIFT/dealing and security room: CPD; Cad file office; HR filing; passport office; IDF room
      On-site and off-site ATMs (a minimum of two cameras, one focussing on the customer's face and the other on the withdrawal of cash; with an additional camera used for perimeter/rear entry of the service cabinet, where applicable)

        The ATM will have a pin-hole camera located above the client facing screen to record the client's face, this will be supported by an overhead camera to record the transaction and whether cash was deposited and withdrawn. Additionally, in the case of an off-site ATM and additional camera is to be located to observe and cover rear entrance to the cash service room as well as an internal camera to observe the custodians/financial organisation employees during their activities inside the service room. Supporting CCTV equipment shall be installed in lockable racks or cabinets in secure rooms, in accordance with the branch security zoning policy.

    • Execution

      Installation
       
      A.Outdoor cameras shall be in an IP66 rated enclosure with sun-shroud.
       
      B.The Contractors or subcontractor's main resources within the project shall carry proper professional certification issued by the manufacturer and verified by a third-party organization to confirm sufficient product and technology knowledge.
       
      C.The Contractor shall carefully follow instructions in documentation provided by the manufacturer to ensure all steps have been taken to provide a reliable, easy-to-operate system.
       
      D.All equipment shall be tested and configured in accordance with instructions provided by the manufacturer prior to installation.
       
      E.All firmware found in products shall be the latest and most up-to-date provided by the manufacturer, or of a version as specified by the provider of the Video Management System (VMS) or the Network Video Recorder (NVR) alternatively the DVR manufacturer.
       
      F.All equipment requiring users to log on using a password shall be configured with user/site-specific password/passwords. No system/product default passwords shall be allowed.
       

      NVR server

      The NVR must, in the event of any alert/alarm, automatically stream the CCTV footage to the SCR for storage. This will allow and support any follow up actions by the SCR operators or MOI investigations. This is especially important in the event that the ATM unit is intentionally damaged or rammed with the aim of toppling or removing it from site. As such a final snapshot of the illegal activity will be available and safely stored.

    • Maintenance

      A programme of preventative maintenance must be undertaken in line with the manufactures' guidelines; periods between maintenance checks must not exceed six months (except where contractually agreed). Additionally, regular testing of the system must be undertaken to ensure key components are functioning to full specification. Details of the tests should be recorded in the site record for the IDS and retained as well as updates/copies forwarded to the security department.

    • Bandwidth Requirements for Security Systems

      This guideline is applicable for all existing and future deployment and installation of security systems. This encompasses all systems inclusive of the Surveillance System, Access Control System and Intrusion Detection Systems.

      The hard-wired direct network interface bandwidth for all security devices shall be sized to cater for the local bandwidth of the accumulated video and alarm feeds as a minimum capacity. All switches and routers used on the security network shall be rated for gigabit speeds (minimum 1 GB) throughout the supporting infrastructure.

      When hard wired direct network connectivity is not available directly to the command centre (indirect via telco or wireless / G3 /G4 / G5 networks), connectivity bandwidth shall be sized in the same way as the hard-wired network.

      In all cases, the bandwidth for the WAN connectivity between all bank facilities must allow for on the spot streaming and retrieving of the CCTV footage, with a minimum of 15 FPS and 2MP resolution.
