by Shane Henson — January 27, 2012—March Networks, a global provider of intelligent IP video solutions, recently announced that Fifth Third Bancorp has initiated an upgrade program of its existing March Networks’ video surveillance systems across more than 1,300 full-service retail banking branches, data centers, corporate offices, and operations and cash-handling facilities.
One of the top 15 banks in the United States, Fifth Third Bank has already started deploying 12,000 new March Networks IP and analog cameras, and will upgrade to new 4332 C Hybrid Network Video Recorders (NVRs) nationwide. The bank is also piloting the March Networks Searchlight portfolio of intelligent data analytics to proactively detect and reduce losses from fraud at automated teller machines (ATMs) and teller lines.
The orders follow a recent industry report by IMS Research that recognizes March Networks as the #1 provider of banking surveillance systems in the Americas. Worldwide, more than 450 banks and credit unions currently use the company’s proven financial solutions, citing scalability, unparalleled reliability and centralized video management as key system benefits.
However, more than just banks have utilized March Networks to enhance their security. The company is working with the Ottawa Senators hockey team to provide its next-generation video surveillance platform to enhance security and operations at Scotia Place, a world-class sports and entertainment facility and home to the National Hockey League (NHL) team. March Networks also recently announced that a global retailer has selected the company’s solutions to increase its security capabilities.
