Frequently Asked Questions
Why Is Keyless Entry Safer For Staff?
Keyless entry systems enhance security in financial institutions by reducing the risks associated with lost, stolen, or duplicated keys. Digital credentials can be updated or revoked instantly, ensuring only authorized employees have access to sensitive areas like vaults, offices, and data rooms. This helps prevent unauthorized entry while maintaining detailed access records for auditing and compliance. For banks and credit unions, keyless entry strengthens protection and simplifies secure facility management. Learn more about keyless entry systems.
Why Do I Need Regular Testing On Fire Alarms?
Fire alarm testing is essential for financial institutions because it ensures critical life safety systems function properly during an emergency. Regular testing verifies that alarms, detectors, and monitoring connections work as intended, allowing for fast response to fires or system faults. In banks and credit unions, where valuable assets and sensitive data are stored, a properly maintained alarm system helps prevent costly damage and business disruption. Routine testing also supports regulatory compliance and provides peace of mind that employees and clients are protected at all times. Learn more about fire alarm testing requirements.
How Can We Benefit From Proactive Video Monitoring?
Financial institutions benefit from proactive video monitoring because it combines advanced analytics with live human oversight to detect and address suspicious activity before it becomes a threat. Trained operators can identify unusual behavior, verify alarms, and alert law enforcement in real time, reducing the risk of theft, vandalism, or fraud. This continuous monitoring helps protect vaults, ATMs, and branch perimeters while enhancing safety for staff and customers. For banks and credit unions, proactive video monitoring provides a smarter, faster, and more reliable layer of security. Learn more about proactive video monitoring.
