Three Smart Upgrades for Self-Service Banking Lobbies

Smarter Security. Seamless Access. Exceptional Experience. Modern banking isn’t just about convenience, it’s about trust, safety, and efficiency. As financial institutions expand their self-service offerings, ATM and ITM lobbies and rooms have become essential extensions of the staffed branch experience. The right technology investments not only enhance security but also improve accessibility, compliance, customer satisfaction and maintain your brand.

Parabit’s advanced solutions help financial institutions protect their 24/7 and branch banking environments with scalable, intelligent systems designed for real-time visibility and control.

1. Advanced Access Control

A secure self-service banking lobby or room starts at the door. Parabit’s access control systems go beyond card-based entry to deliver a complete ecosystem for safety and compliance.

Key features include:

• Loitering detection and occupancy alerts

• Remote lockdown and unlock functionality

• Door ajar and lock supervision notifications

• Customer entry and exit failure detection

• Compatible with NFC Tech and NFC and magnetic stripe financial cards

• Ethernet or cellular connectivity for centralized management

Our ACS systems ensure continuous protection, consistent performance, and a better experience for every customer who visits after hours.

2. Human Presence Detection

Visibility inside self-service lobbies is critical for safety and compliance. Parabit’s Human Presence Detection (HPD) technology provides real-time awareness of lobby occupancy, ensuring accurate data, improved response times, and adherence to operational standards.

HPD solutions integrate with access control or operate independently to:

• Trigger alarms and lighting adjustments

• Activate surveillance when loitering and/or presense is detected

• Maintain visibility and safety across all locations

This means better control over unoccupied spaces and immediate awareness of potential security and customer experience risks.

3. Integrated Surveillance

When surveillance and access control work together, branch security reaches its highest level of efficiency. Integration with your camera systems automatically record activity triggered by door usage, failed entry/exit attempts, or loitering detection.

Benefits include:

• Event-driven video capture

• Real-time camera streaming

• Analytics for customer behavior and compliance events

• Centralized visibility across single or multi-branch networks

Security teams gain deeper insight, faster response capabilities, and peace of mind.

Smarter Security and Seamless Service

Self-service banking lobbies play a vital role in customer trust. Every interaction—entry, transaction, or exit, reflects on the institution’s commitment to safety and service.

Parabit’s ACS Enterprise SaaS platform empowers institutions to:

• Monitor lobby activity with real-time analytics

• Manage access systems remotely

• Ensure compliance with federal and state regulations

From secure access systems to intelligent sensors and camera housings, Parabit enables banks and credit unions to build smarter, safer, and more connected branches.
