by Shane Henson — April 24, 2013—March Networks, a major supplier of video surveillance solutions to banks in the Americas, recently announced that its products have been chosen again by Fifth Third Bancorp to help ensure the safety of its customers and employees.
According to March Networks, Fifth Third Bank launched an upgrade program to replace more than 1,600 of its existing March Networks network video recorders (NVRs) with new, high-performance March Networks 8000 Series Hybrid NVRs.
One of the top 15 banks in the United States, Fifth Third Bank has already initiated the deployment, which reaches across its 1,300 full-service retail banking branches, data centers, corporate offices, operations and cash-handling facilities in the United States, says March Networks.
Fifth Third Bank is expected to realize numerous benefits with March Networks’ 8000 Series upgrade. The NVRs’ crystal-clear video, for example, offers the improved image quality critical to identifying bill denominations and other detail. Advanced H.264 video compression—uniquely optimized by March Networks—ensures that the noticeably sharper video quality is captured without increasing bandwidth or storage requirements. In addition, the recorders’ ability to support as many as 32 Internet-protocol (IP) cameras in an all-IP video deployment, or any hybrid combination up to 16 analog and 16 IP cameras, will enable Fifth Third Bank to continue adding high-definition IP video capabilities, while taking full advantage of its existing analog surveillance investments.
