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
