According to the company, the project involved the deployment of over 22,000 IP cameras and 5,000 NVRs across the bank’s network of 883 branches and 4,000 ATMs.
Garanti BBVA reportedly leads the way in innovation, being the first bank in Türkiye to introduce internet and mobile banking in 1997.
The company’s commitment to technology-driven progress is a cornerstone of its corporate values.
By partnering with March Networks, Garanti BBVA is near to becoming the first bank in Türkiye to transition to an all-digital video surveillance platform.
“Effective, smart and functional skills”
“As Garanti BBVA, we aim to always be ahead in following and implementing developments in technology,” commented M. Feridun Aktaş, CSO, Garanti BBVA.
“We aim to provide our young security teams with more effective, smart and functional skills by renewing our award winning video surveillance system in tens of thousands of locations in Türkiye.
“I am sure that the project partnership we have established with March Networks will produce the first and only example of all of them.”
The solution provided by March Networks is managed by its command enterprise system (CES) VMS.
The company is also expected to deliver a centralised storage solution for offsite backup.
“Trusted partner”
“We are very pleased that Garanti BBVA has chosen March Networks to be their trusted partner to deliver their new completely IP-based video surveillance platform,” said Trevor Sinden, Director of Middle East Sales, March Networks.
“With our strong background in the financial sector and our enterprise global scale with some of the largest banks in the world, together with our partner EEC Entegre Bina Kontrol Sistemleri in Türkiye, we have the expertise and the ability to deliver incredible value for Garanti BBVA now and in the future.”
