Banking

Turn existing cameras into intelligent sensors for branches, ATMs and secure banking environments. Fogsphere combines Computer Vision, Generative AI and IoT intelligence to strengthen physical security, improve customer flow and give banking teams real-time operational visibility.

Bank branch interior monitored by Fogsphere — entrance, ATM area, teller positions and restricted zones with AI detection overlays

Safety

Spills, blocked exits, crowding, smoke and person-down events in customer and staff areas.

Security

ATM tampering, loitering, restricted-area access and after-hours intrusion across every branch.

Operational Intelligence

Footfall, queues, ATM usage and service-point utilisation, measured on existing cameras.

Built for privacy, security and operational resilience

GDPR / UK GDPR

Privacy-first video intelligence.

Process video analytics with privacy and data protection in mind: edge processing, controlled retention, role-based access and privacy-preserving analytics.

Context: The ICO includes CCTV, ANPR and biometric surveillance technologies within its surveillance guidance, so UK organisations must consider UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act.

PCI DSS

Protect sensitive areas and payment infrastructure.

Support physical monitoring of sensitive banking environments, restricted areas and systems associated with cardholder-data environments.

Context: PCI DSS includes requirements on controlling and monitoring physical access to sensitive areas and protecting monitoring systems against tampering.

DORA

Operational resilience for financial environments.

Visibility, incident evidence, infrastructure monitoring and operational awareness across the banking estate.

Context: DORA requires in-scope financial organisations to maintain ICT-risk-management and operational-resilience frameworks.

Fogsphere supplies technology that supports these privacy, security and operational-resilience programmes. Regulatory references are provided as context for why these capabilities matter and are not a claim of certification, accreditation or regulatory approval.

Safety

Safer branches for customers and staff

Slips & Trips

Detect spills, fallen objects and floor hazards in customer and staff areas.

Emergency Exit & Walkway Monitoring

Identify blocked evacuation routes, corridors and emergency exits.

Occupancy & Crowding

Monitor occupancy levels and unusual crowd build-up around entrances, service points and ATM areas.

Smoke & Fire

Camera-based monitoring to identify visible smoke or fire indications and surface the event for review.

Worker Down / Emergency Event

Identify a person-down or prolonged inactivity event in staff-only or isolated areas.

Behavioural Safety

Detect running, unusual movement or unsafe behaviour in monitored areas.

Security

Intelligent physical security across every branch

ATM & Security-Device Tampering

Detect unusual interaction with ATMs or security equipment and surface the relevant video event for investigation.

Covered-Face Detection

Identify people entering monitored areas with their face obscured, subject to the bank’s policies and applicable law.

Loitering & Unusual Gathering

Identify prolonged dwell, loitering or unusual groups around entrances, ATM areas and branch perimeters.

Restricted-Area Access

Monitor staff-only rooms, cash-handling areas, back offices, security rooms and other controlled zones.

Intrusion & After-Hours Activity

Detect unexpected people in branches and restricted areas outside approved operating hours.

Unattended / Suspicious Objects

Identify bags or objects that remain unattended beyond a defined period.

Access Control & Identity-Aware Monitoring

Correlate access events with video and distinguish employees from visitors where the deployment and applicable law permit it.

Incident Investigation

Search and reconstruct events across cameras, people, locations and timestamps to accelerate security review.

Operational intelligence

Turn every branch camera into an operations sensor

Entry & Exit Counting

Measure branch arrivals, departures and live occupancy.

External Footfall

Measure people passing outside the branch and compare potential versus actual branch traffic.

ATM Usage Analytics

Understand how many customers use individual ATMs and total self-service areas.

ATM Dwell Time

Measure how long customers spend at self-service machines and identify abnormal queues or service friction.

Queue Length & Wait Time

Monitor customer queues at tellers, reception, welcome desks and self-service areas.

Heat & Flow Maps

Understand how customers move through the branch and which areas receive the most activity.

Customer Journey Analytics

Understand movement from entrance → welcome desk → ATM → cashier → consultation area.

Service-Point Utilisation

Measure utilisation of teller positions, welcome desks and other customer-service areas.

Branch Occupancy

Give operations teams a live view of customer and staff presence across zones.

Architecture

The platform behind every detection

Edge+ AI

Real-time video and multimodal intelligence deployed close to the cameras and operational environment.

Fogsphere Manager®

A single management layer across cameras, events, people, locations, assets, sensors and compute resources.

MistIQ® / Visual Agentic AI

Moves beyond detection to interpret context, reason about events and trigger workflows or actions.

From one branch to an entire banking estate, the same platform connects cameras, events, access systems and operational intelligence.
Why banks choose Fogsphere
