Real-Time Centralization & Analytics with Minimal Bandwidth

Cost-Effective Banking Security

Present Situation

Surveillance is key to bank operations across the globe as the local authorities as well as the regulatory have their requirements to be met by the banks. Usually, the banks would deploy 3 CCTV cameras at the ATM and between 10-50 or more cameras at the branches depending on the requirement.

All these CCTV cameras generate massive data which is not easy to manage. A lot of banks would use this data for varying purposes including KYC, quality assurance and security. Video analytics are key to any kind of benefits banks might plan to derive from the surveillance and for effective video analytics, banks have to have the surveillance data available at a central location.

Streaming LIVE video data from branches and ATMs is a massive task as it needs a lot of bandwidth and storage for effective policy execution. Today, the banks spend massive amount of money to manage just the surveillance aspect and unfortunately a lot of it goes to waste because of the challenges around managing this massive data.

ATM Machine – Impact Analysis

Current Challenges

  • High Bandwidth Requirements: Continuous live streaming consumes large amounts of network bandwidth.

  • Expensive Storage Needs: Massive video archives require costly infrastructure to maintain.

  • Underutilized Data: Much of the surveillance footage goes unused because it cannot be centralized or analyzed in real-time.

  • High Operational Costs: Banks spend heavily on managing surveillance infrastructure, often with limited return on investment.

Vortex Global’s Solution

At Vortex Global, we transform the way banks manage ATM surveillance with our OmniCompressor software integrated with SmartNVR.

How It Works

  • SmartNVR is deployed at the ATM edge location.

  • It receives streams directly from connected cameras.

  • OmniCompressor compresses the feed by up to 95% while retaining analytical quality.

  • Compressed video is transmitted in real-time over any available network (3G, 4G, 5G, fiber, or Wi-Fi).

  • Data arrives at the central command system for storage, analytics, and compliance.

Key Advantages

  • Works with any network medium.

  • Ensures real-time centralization of ATM surveillance data.

  • Reduces bandwidth and storage costs drastically.

  • Maintains AI-ready quality, ensuring analytics (fraud detection, KYC validation, anomaly detection) remain accurate.

Deployment

  • Edge SmartNVR Installation at every ATM location.

  • Compression at the source ensures lighter, faster data transmission.

  • Seamless integration with central banking systems and security operations.

  • Scalable to cover thousands of ATMs across different regions.

Benefits for ATM Surveillance

  • Regulatory Compliance: Meets all mandatory surveillance requirements.

  • Cost Savings: Up to 95% reduction in bandwidth and storage use.

  • Real-Time Visibility: Centralized live video feeds for faster fraud detection and intervention.

  • Enhanced Security: AI-driven analytics applied to compressed feeds without quality loss.

  • Scalability: Supports both single ATM deployments and large-scale nationwide banking networks.
