Banks and ATMs operate in environments where any security lapse can result in financial loss, operational disruption and erosion of customer trust. Hikvision has introduced a fully integrated Hybrid Intrusion and Fire Detection Alarm Solution designed specifically to meet these risks.
Built around the Hikvision AX Hybrid PRO Series Control Panel, the system provides an intelligent, layered security architecture that combines wired and wireless technologies to ensure uninterrupted protection against intrusion, burglary, fire and emergency events. Its design supports 24/7 banking operations where rapid detection, reliable communication and remote monitoring are essential.
Modern banking infrastructure requires continuous surveillance of high risk areas including entrances, vaults, ATM lobbies, server rooms and public interaction zones. The hybrid architecture enables the use of durable wired sensors in critical spaces alongside wireless sensors ideal for retrofit sites where civil work is impractical. The platform delivers real time event reporting and consolidated intrusion, fire, panic and video verification functions to strengthen situational awareness and accelerate response.
The AX Hybrid PRO series incorporates a range of advanced capabilities. With support for 48 to 64 zones, the system accommodates multiple detectors across ATMs, cash cabins and technical rooms. Up to 32 partitions allow independent arming of sensitive locations such as vault areas, cash counters and back offices.
IVaaS video verification provides a seven second clip for immediate confirmation of intrusion events. Speed X wired technology ensures reliable long-distance transmission suitable for large premises, while multi path communication via LAN, Wi Fi, GPRS and 3G or 4G delivers resilience and eliminates downtime. A 36 hour battery backup maintains system continuity during power failure and a 3,000 event log supports compliance and investigative requirements. Mobile app connectivity enables senior staff and security teams to oversee branch conditions remotely.
A complete suite of sensors supports full threat coverage, detecting intrusion attempts, ATM break ins, vault tampering, smoke, fire and customer emergencies. Alerts are transmitted instantly to the bank’s security team, monitoring centre and branch management through SMS, app notifications and email, reducing response time and helping prevent escalation.
Protection design templates for both bank branches and ATM sites ensure consistent deployment. Components include motion detectors, magnetic door contacts, panic switches, seismic sensors, smoke and heat detectors, camera verification points and indoor or outdoor alarms. Even in the event of network disruption, multi path communication and battery backup maintain system integrity.
By unifying intrusion and fire detection within a scalable platform, Hikvision delivers a cost efficient and highly reliable solution suitable for single ATM sites through to nationwide banking networks. It enhances visibility, reduces false alarms and supports the operational continuity essential to the BFSI sector.
