Posting a guard on duty accomplishes nothing. Putting a guard in an isolated dedicated security room, with live cameras, means the silent alarm is always triggered.

    They do - you just don’t see it because it’s remote.

    The security model for bank branches is to keep limited funds available, and to let robbers get away with what little cash is in a branch. Insurance will cover their losses.

    They have very high-def cameras with the latest identity-capability features. These cameras record all motion to commercial security system NVRs in the bank’s own data center.

    They have a dedicated security team monitoring all this 24/7 at a remote location (relative to the branches).

    This is standard practice for fire/safety/surveillance/access control in large/distributed facilities with high risk or large employee bases.

    It even has it’s own insurance and regulatory systems.
