Andhra Pragathi Grameena Bank

APGB • Regional Rural Bank • Kadapa

“All critical areas of the bank’s operations, including customer and staff zones, are now under constant surveillance. With automated video recording in place, reliance on manual security checks was reduced, freeing up staff for other tasks.”

Andhra Pragathi Grameena Bank (APGB), headquartered in Kadapa, needed a robust surveillance system to enhance security at its head office and branches. CCTV cameras were installed at critical points such as entry gates, staff areas, lockers, offices, and public zones to ensure safety and prevent unauthorized access. Brihaspathi Technologies managed the complete planning, supply, installation, and maintenance of the system.

Challenges

Installing and managing a network of approximately 1900 CCTV cameras across various sites required detailed coordination and inventory planning.
Cameras needed to be deployed in diverse areas like parking spaces, staff rooms, locker rooms, and main banking halls—each requiring different surveillance coverage and mounting setups.
Being a financial institution, the bank required discreet yet effective monitoring without interfering with employee privacy or the customer experience.

Solutions

Cameras were installed strategically across the main office and additional branches. Key locations such as entrances, security gates, locker zones, and administrative offices were prioritized.
Different camera types were selected based on each area’s lighting, size, and risk level. This included static cameras for general coverage and focused placements for high-security areas.
The head office was equipped with a control room for real-time monitoring, allowing security personnel to observe activity across all major points.

Results

All critical areas of the bank’s operations, including customer and staff zones, are now under constant surveillance.

With automated video recording in place, reliance on manual security checks was reduced, freeing up staff for other tasks.
