Observra gives UK banks, building societies and credit unions real-time weapon detection across every branch, alerting security teams the moment a firearm or bladed weapon enters the building, with no footage leaving the premises.
Even after decades of branch consolidation, UK financial institutions still lose millions annually to armed and unarmed threats, cash-in-transit attacks and staff-directed violence.
A single security officer takes on average 47 seconds to react to an incident on-site. Observra detects and alerts in under 200 milliseconds, before a situation can develop.
The vast majority of serious branch incidents involve a firearm or bladed weapon, exactly what Observra is trained to detect at entry points and lobby areas.
Detects firearms and blades at entry points, teller areas and ATM lobbies, alerting security before the perpetrator reaches the counter.
Behaviour pattern detection identifies escalating scenarios, multiple armed individuals, aggressive positioning, hostage-like crowd clustering, and triggers priority alerts.
24/7 monitoring of in-branch and standalone ATM lobbies catches loitering, distraction theft and card-skimmer installations before customers are harmed.
Out-of-hours intrusion detection around branch perimeters, alerting the moment someone enters a restricted zone outside opening times.
Understand customer flow across branches, peak hours, queue length, counter utilisation, for smarter staffing and branch-network decisions.
Monitor every branch from one central dashboard. Incidents, alerts and analytics across your entire network, with per-branch drill-down.
