Qatari Bank Standardizes on March Networks to Combat Fraud and Enhance Security

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, May 1, 2012 –– March Networks®, a global provider of intelligent IP video solutions, today announced that one of Qatar’s largest financial institutions has standardized on the company’s integrated video surveillance and Searchlight software applications to significantly reduce losses from fraud and other crime. The financial institution will use the solution to proactively detect fraudulent activity, including ATM skimming and cash harvesting, at its ATMs and banking branches nationwide. The solution also enables the bank to exceed government-mandated requirements recently introduced to strengthen video surveillance standards in the Qatari banking sector.

Working with a March Networks certified provider in the region, the bank is deploying powerful March Networks Searchlight applications, Enterprise Service Manager software, high-definition MegaPX NanoDome IP cameras and 4324 C hybrid network video recorders (NVRs).

The solution provides the bank with efficient, centralized video management, and exceptional reliability already proven in more than 450 March Networks banking installations worldwide. Combined with integrated Searchlight applications, it triples the bank’s investigation capabilities, resulting in a quantifiable return on investment.

The Searchlight Financial Transaction Investigation application correlates video and ATM/teller transaction data to speed investigations and streamline case management. Searchlight Skimming Detection automatically alerts staff to suspicious activity at ATMs, and enables fraud investigators to quickly review and gather critical case evidence using associated video, transaction data, color analysis and facial images. A third Searchlight application, which captures and synchronizes license plate data, is also available to further strengthen investigations.

“Our Searchlight software applications help banks sift quickly through vast amounts of video and transaction data to find the exact information they need to combat fraud and cut losses dramatically,” said Net Payne, Chief Marketing Officer, March Networks. “Searchlight saves banks both time and cost and, when combined with our highly reliable and centrally managed video surveillance platforms, delivers an advanced financial surveillance solution unparalleled in the industry.”

March Networks Searchlight Now Delivers Greater Speed and Effectiveness to Banking Fraud Investigations

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, March 27, 2012 –– March Networks® (TSX: MN), a global provider of intelligent IP video solutions and the #1 supplier of banking video surveillance systems in the Americas, is pleased to announce enhancements to its Searchlight applications portfolio to help banks and credit unions further reduce losses from ATM fraud, cash harvesting and other crime. The latest Searchlight features include a new color detection analytic, improved facial detection, and a new snapshot timeline that combine to triple an investigator’s search capabilities – allowing them to conduct fraud investigations even faster and build better case evidence. 

The March Networks Searchlight portfolio consists of Financial Transaction Investigation software, which synchronizes ATM and teller transaction records with high-quality surveillance video to improve investigator performance and streamline case management. It also includes powerful Skimming Detection, Image Tracker and License Plate Tracker applications that enable banks to proactively detect fraudulent activity at ATMs and gather stronger case evidence through centralized searches that correlate video, transaction information, facial images and license plate data. 

A new color detection analytic introduces yet another layer of evidence filtering to aid and speed searches across any number of banking locations simultaneously. Investigators can search ATM lobby footage for a suspect wearing a red shirt, for example, or combine that search parameter with specific banking card numbers or ATM transaction amounts to zero in on evidence even more quickly. Searchlight’s enhanced facial detection analytic automatically captures the best instance of a customer’s face during a transaction, providing more reliable identification for investigations and law enforcement. And a new visual timeline, which offers investigators a scrolling line-up of corresponding images for any selected timeframe, helps investigators swiftly narrow searches.

“Fraudulent transactions at ATMs and teller stations costs banks an estimated $1 billion annually and many feel that number may actually be much higher,” said Net Payne, Chief Marketing Officer, March Networks. “Our Searchlight applications enable financial institutions to cut those losses dramatically, reduce the time and costs associated with each investigation, and realize a measurable return on their investment.” 

March Networks’ comprehensive Financial Solutions include the Searchlight portfolio, as well as enterprise-class hybrid recording systems, high-definition IP cameras and Visual Intelligence video management software. Its solutions are proven in more than 450 banks and credit unions worldwide, including six of the top 10 U.S. banks, five of the seven largest banks in Mexico, the majority of Canada’s top five financial institutions, and leading banks across Europe, the Middle East and Asia Pacific. 

The company will demonstrate its complete Financial Solutions in Booth 24075 at the ISC West International Security Conference and Exposition, March 28 to 30, at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, NV. For more information, please visit www.marchnetworks.com/iscwest.

March Networks Introduces Free IP Video Management Software

OTTAWA, ONTARIO, March 27, 2012 –– March Networks® (TSX: MN), a global provider of intelligent IP video solutions, is pleased to introduce Command Lite – a free, entry-level version of its enterprise-class Command video management system (VMS). The software supports up to six video channels and seven days of storage, making it an ideal surveillance solution for businesses with limited camera and retention requirements, as well as organizations ready to evaluate an IP VMS solution in real-world environments. Command Lite installs in minutes, is easy to use, and incorporates the latest time-saving capabilities available with release 1.3 of the Command platform. 

As with all March Networks Command software, Command Lite is compatible with more than 300 certified third-party cameras, hundreds of ONVIF-compliant edge devices and March Networks IP cameras, allowing it to be quickly deployed using existing surveillance infrastructure. A one-click device discovery tool identifies and adds all locally networked cameras to speed setup.

In addition, there are no client applications to download. The Command web-based user interface supports all system configuration, management and daily operations. It works with both Microsoft® Windows and Mac OS® X operating systems and can be accessed with all leading web browsers, including Internet Explorer®, Firefox®, Chrome, and Safari®, to ensure a rapid and straightforward installation. The flexible interface is easily tailored to display or hide different functions for specific user groups, which increases user efficiency and reducing training times for enterprise-class deployments. 

Command Lite also provides new features introduced in Command 1.3 to help organizations save time operating and administering the VMS. Archive thumbnails and a Visual Finder timeline allow users to search through recorded video quickly without a specific date or time, and refine searches easily with just a few mouse clicks. The software’s innovative health inbox helps administrators ensure the system is always performing optimally, while its Device Page offers detailed information on the data being received, recorded and streamed to clients on a camera-by-camera basis. 

“We are pleased to offer many of the core capabilities of our Command video management platform in this convenient and freely downloadable solution,” said Net Payne, Chief Marketing Officer, March Networks. “Command Lite gives organizations and systems integrators the opportunity to discover the flexibility and ease-of-use of our VMS for themselves, and makes it easy for them to scale to a full-featured Command offering when they are ready.” 

Upgrades from Command Lite to Command Professional or Enterprise are seamless. No reconfiguration is needed and all previously archived video is maintained. 

Organizations, systems integrators and resellers can download Command Lite for free, along with supporting video tutorials and resources, from the March Networks website at www.marchnetworks.com/GetCommandLite.
