CHALLENGE

Paraguay’s leading chain of local supermarkets has more than 2,000 employees and more than 150 stores located at strategic points in Asunción and Greater Asunción. In addition, it offers a wide variety of products, at very competitive prices and in a 24-hour format, 365 days a year.

Its main objective focuses on protecting each and every one of its retail stores by identifying the most frequent thieves at the entrance, restricting their entry and reducing thefts. To this end, this supermarket is committed to a centralized alert system and the implementation of facial recognition technology in its stores.

SOLUTION

Facial recognition cameras are installed at the entrances of each of the premises, providing high resolution images (up to 4 Mpx) and under any lighting conditions thanks to their built-in infrared illumination up to 60 meters.

The system allows you to create black and white lists, update and manage databases centrally, and integrates with Point-of-Sale Terminals (POS).

Upon identification of a habitual burglar, security officers receive an automatic alarm with the associated image or video. On the other hand, managers can also locate any person in a matter of seconds through advanced search filters (faces, names, IDs, etc.) or reference images.

The images are processed by SCATI RECKON, SCATI’s Business Intelligence software. This software transforms data into useful information, and allows the creation of graphs and balanced scorecards in a simplified way, displaying that information in an organized manner to people who need to interpret it and make decisions based on it.

This is the ideal software to meet the customer’s needs, since it can classify useful information and differentiate between the different types of people accessing the establishment, thus distinguishing between wanted and unwanted people.

Local storage of these images is done through SCATI VISION N400 recording servers capable of managing up to 3 megapixel cameras. These platforms feature a highly compact form factor and have an efficient heat dissipation design.

BENEFITS

The installation of this innovative solution positions this supermarket chain as one of the most secure stores, offering its customers the best shopping experience.

Thanks to the installation of these video surveillance systems directly connected to the point-of-sale terminals, the supermarket chain has managed to prevent each and every one of the robberies carried out by habitual thieves, so we are talking about 100% effectiveness.

The installation of facial recognition systems in the retail chain opens up a world of possibilities, both for security and for the operation of a business, since other departments of the company cansegment your customer profile by gender and age for commercial purposes and to control the access of its employees and visitors. Todo ello cumpliendo la normativa vigente sobre protección de datos.

“This project enables the supermarket chain to offer a good and safe shopping experience to its customers. It also positions SCATI technology as a benchmark in the retail sector in Paraguay,” he says. Javier Larrodé, SCATI Branch Manager in Brazil.

SCATI is a company specialized in adapting its solutions to the needs of its customers and has been able to understand the needs of this supermarket chain to offer them a solution to solve their theft problems.

How video surveillance improves bank security

by Scati | Oct 31, 2023 | Blog, solutions-banking-security

Security in banks is an issue that not only concerns financial institutions, but also their customers. In addition, the digital transformation has brought with it a number of challenges for all sectors, including banking.

In an increasingly digitized world, protecting our banking data and preventing theft have become two of the top priorities for banks. And, without a doubt, one of the most effective solutions in this area is bank video surveillance.

At Scati we have been able to adapt to the new scenario, and that is why our bank security solutions now combine AI and video surveillance.. But how has this technology evolved and what benefits does it bring? In this article we will tell you why bank security cannot be understood without video surveillance. Will you join us?

The evolution of video surveillance in the banking industry

From low-resolution cameras and old black-and-white monitors, in the last few years, it is clear that video surveillance has come a long way. Today, bank security technology includes high-resolution images, intelligent video analysis and integrated alarm systems, among other aspects.

These innovations have not only improved banking security, but have also made it possible to optimize the management and operations of financial institutions.

Thus, bank video surveillance has evolved from a simple camera system to a comprehensive solution that uses Artificial Intelligence, Business Intelligence tools and data analysis. to develop their full potential. In addition to solving crimes, banks can now prevent them, making informed decisions in real time to improve their profitability.

Benefits of video surveillance

Apart from its own evolution, video surveillance has always been a crucial solution for bank security. Do you know all its benefits? We remind you of them:

Theft and fraud prevention

One of the most obvious advantages of bank video surveillance is the prevention of robberies. Recording cameras have always acted as an important deterrent to potential criminals.

They also provide visual evidence in case of attempted theft or robbery, alerting to possible crimes. Recorded images can also be used to monitor banking transactions and detect unusual or fraudulent activity, helping to prevent and deter such behavior.

Thus, video surveillance helps to protect both employees and customers visiting the branches, creating a safer environment and reducing the risk of violent incidents.

Real-time monitoring

On the other hand, video surveillance allows continuous monitoring of all key areas within a bank, which facilitates early detection of potentially dangerous situations and immediate action.

Real-time monitoring is very important for bank security, since it allows a faster and more effective response to any unforeseen event. This is a benefit especially useful in large branches, where security personnel need to have a complete view of what is happening at all times.

Forensic evidence

In addition, in the event of any incident, video recordings serve as forensic evidence. This speeds up investigations, facilitating the identification and prosecution of criminals, and can be decisive in solving crimes.

Technologies applied to video surveillance

So what is the latest in bank security technology? We’ll tell you about it!

High resolution cameras

If anything has become clear in the evolution of this field, it is that video surveillance cameras with high image quality are critical to the effectiveness of any video surveillance system.

Today, high-resolution cameras provide clear images that make it possible to identify details such as faces or vehicle license plates, which is essential for identifying suspects and verifying alarms in real time.

Intelligent video analysis

New technologies have gone far beyond simple image recording. Thanks to AI, intelligent video analytics can detect patterns and anomalous behavior in real time, enabling a proactive response to potential threats.

Integration with alarm systems

In addition, video surveillance is even more effective when integrated with other systems. security systems, such as alarms and access controls. In this way, bank security systems with innovative technologies are much more robust and complete.

Trends and the future of video surveillance

As you know, we live in a constant digital revolution, so the evolution of video surveillance, which we have already been talking about, continues its process. In the future, there will be very few banks that will not bet on integrate their systems with Business Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence and Big Data tools.

Banking security will be much more proactive and personalized, as it will be adapted to the specific needs of each financial institution.

In addition, bank video surveillance will no longer be conceived exclusively as a security issue, but will be seen as a cross-cutting solution for decision making in different departments of the bank.such as web development, finance and even marketing. It will also continue to be essential for the the protection of banking data, which is increasingly under threat with the rise of digitalization.
