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.
