KARACHI, Aug 15: Bandits robbed a bank of cash and valuables worth millions of rupees by breaking open the lockers using gas- powered welding equipment in the small hours of Friday.

The close circuit TV cameras, which often provide valuable clues to police in bank robberies, were not working at the time of the robbery. These cameras were activated only during the office hours, DSP Salman said, adding that they had requested the bank branch to check if the system might had been left in the working mode.

However, since the bandits didn’t take away the recordings of the CCTV it could be concluded that they were quite sure of the fact that the cameras were not functioning at that time, a senior police officer pointed out.SSP Saddar Dr Amir Shaikh told Dawn that he suspected the involvement of the bank guard. He was of the view that the guard’s escape suggested his involvement in the robbery. He said that around 40 per cent bank robberies took place with the connivance of the security guards deployed at the banks.

ConclusionDuring working hours, guards are useful only to

As they are not effective to control entrances and prohibit weapons, it is recommended to reduce number of guards during the day and keep only what is required for above mentioned jobs. Preferably un-armed guards.

Security guards must not be allowed to stay inside the bank after closing. And it doesn’t make sense to let them stay outside the branch, while knowing that they mightn’t help, when needed. Simply stated, no guard must be deputed in the bank at night.

Bandwidth Utilization

Xentinel ES2 is specially designed to offer centralized monitoring of CCTV without making a big impact on bandwidth utilization.

It can even work with existing bandwidth because it requires bandwidth only when there is a requirement to watch the branch otherwise system is not utilizing bandwidth. Parallel recording is done locally in the Xentinel ES2 Machine and does not require use of bandwidth. Therefore, DSL internet can be used as a medium between branches and control centre, which is a cheaper solution as compare to Fiber Optic connection.

A relay with dial-in remote control.

Up to 10 tel. numbers can be authorized for it. Because calls are not answered dial-in control within GSM is free of charge. (it only checks the caller ’ s number and - if the number is authorized - responds with relay activation.) This can be used for parking latch control, gsm gate opener, remote control machine, etc.

An automation system.
