ARCO Solution
The ARCO Solution is an intelligent, centrally-controlled, network designed primarily for managing numerous branches and ATMs that make up a significant part of the asset base of the Bank.
System Integration
The S1000 Smart Controller was installed and integrated with existing sensors that can detect vibration, gas, smoke and intrusion. There is a built-in alarm testing to ensure system-wide accuracy and efficiency.
Consolidated Cloud-based Monitoring
The ARCO Platform is a web-based application that resides in a central location or cloud and provides the collection point for all events from the S1000 Smart Controller. The software monitors security/access alarm, telemetry activity, data gathering from the sensors connected to the controller located at each remote site, and prioritises events for multiple operator workstations.
Integrated Alarm Monitoring
Alarms are reported to a third-party monitoring system, in parallel to ARCO Platform, to provide redundancy management and data consolidation showing the current and historical status of branches and ATMs. There is the ability to drill down to view the current status and system configuration at any site, enabling timely management of alarms and proper escalation of emergencies. Details of the recorded history stored in the system can be used for analytics and performance enhancements.
