Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to dominate industry discussions – and for good reason. In a recent Wittenbach blog article, AI in Security Video Surveillance (https://wittenbach.com/ai-in-security-video-surveillance/), we explored the topic at a high level. That overview provides helpful context and is worth reviewing before diving deeper. This article focuses more narrowly on where AI is delivering […]

ATM Shutter Gluing Attacks: A Critical Safety Awareness Update for Field Technicians  ATM attacks continue to evolve, and a recently reported method presents a serious personal safety risk to field service technicians—particularly those servicing remote or island ATM locations. This article outlines how the attack works and reinforces the safety practices technicians must follow when responding […]

Most people understand what access control is, what it offers, and why it’s essential. It enables seamless entry and exits from rooms and buildings using a range of credentials—PINs, fobs, badges, biometrics—forming a critical pillar of modern security infrastructure. But the technology behind those credentials and readers deserves careful consideration before simply requesting “access control” […]

ATMs play a vital role in everyday banking, giving customers fast and convenient access to their funds. Unfortunately, their accessibility also makes them frequent targets for criminal activity. The good news: today’s ATM hardware can be equipped with advanced electronic security technologies that significantly enhance protection, reduce risk, and promote customer confidence. Below is an […]

Strengthening ATM Protection Through Enhanced Physical Security With ATM attacks on the rise, ensuring strong physical security has never been more critical. Criminals are increasingly using brute-force and tampering methods to target vulnerable machines, often focusing on what they perceive to be “easy targets.” Implementing proven physical security measures can significantly reduce exposure and strengthen […]

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the security industry, with some of the most significant advancements appearing in video surveillance systems. From reducing false alarms to enabling powerful forensic searches, AI-powered security cameras and video management systems (VMS) are delivering smarter, faster, and more accurate protection than ever before. What Is AI in Security? AI in […]

How to Protect Against Escalating ATM Attacks with Multi-Layered Security ATM attacks are on the rise—both across the United States and worldwide. Criminals are employing a wide spectrum of tactics, from brute-force physical intrusions to highly sophisticated cyber exploits. With the threat landscape evolving rapidly, there is no single solution capable of protecting an entire […]

Introduction: The Evolution of Commercial Video Surveillance Commercial video surveillance has advanced rapidly in recent decades. The days of time-lapse VCRs and coaxial-based CCTV cameras are long gone, and even older film cameras that once captured grainy images for banks and high-security facilities are obsolete. While Digital Video Recorders (DVRs) and Network Video Recorders (NVRs) […]

What Are Combination Panels? Benefits for Fire & Security in Small Buildings  When it comes to fire alarm systems, most of the attention naturally goes to dedicated or standalone Fire Alarm Control Units (FACUs). And for good reason—these panels serve as the central hub for managing a building’s entire fire protection system.  FACUs control all […]
