Bank Security System Essay

Security System

Bank vault

The bank vault is designed to be the safest room in the bank, the vault is accessible to specific people only, and the vault holds the most valuable items. It is intended to protect the contents from theft, unauthorized use, fire, natural disasters, and other threats. We will design three processes to keep the vault safe and protected, the first process is designed to unlock the vault. The second process is designed to catch an unauthorized intruder inside the vault, and the third process deals with the after events of catching an intruder.

Process 1 (access control) inputs and outputs.

Inputs:

• Retina scan. Programmed to allow entry of saved retina scans.

•

It has a quartz window over silicon that contains the information, the window is covered by an opaque material, when removed, and the information is exposed to UV light, erasing all the memory.

Vault walls

The walls are made of a single piece of concrete panels with zero slump, meaning it is very strong and settles quickly when put into molds. While the concrete is still settling, steel rods are inserted to provide extra strength. Finally, the molds are vibrated to prevent formation of air pockets.

Vault Door

The door is constructed from massive cast iron, and made more resistant to acetylene torches. Other than the material, the most important factor of the vault door is the locking mechanism. Bolts slide out the vault door through the door jamb, they are situated anywhere around the edges of the door. Other materials like silicon is added to control humidity and water resistance.

Time lock

A time lock is integrated in the access control, when a specific passcode is entered, the vault is locked and cannot be accessed for a specified time.

Counters and Timers

Virtual counters and timers are used in inputs and
