Cairo Bank manages more than 6,000 cameras across 122 branches with Genetec Security Center, with full network deployment nearing completion.
Genetec has announced that Cairo Bank has deployed the Genetec Security Center platform across its branch network in Egypt. The platform will be used to manage and monitor security operations across more than 230 branches.
According to Cairo Bank, the security advancement was driven by new regulatory requirements from the Central Bank of Egypt, alongside its broader digital transformation agenda aligned with Egypt Vision 2030. Beyond compliance, the bank needed a scalable operational intelligence foundation to strengthen oversight, improve customer experience, and support long-term expansion and financial inclusion.
Cairo Bank Unifies Security with Genetec
The implementation unifies video surveillance, access control, and intrusion detection into a single platform. It allows operators to centrally manage more than 6,000 cameras across 122 active branches, with deployment across the full network nearing completion. The platform provides the necessary operational foundation for a centralized Command and Control Room, where operators can monitor branch activity, coordinate response, and support decision-making across the institution, said Genetec.
The system also separates operational responsibilities. IT and security teams can monitor device health and system status without accessing sensitive video feeds, supporting strict data governance and privacy requirements.

“Unification and scalability were just the starting points. From day one, I knew we wanted functionalities that add value to all aspects of our operations. Security Center delivered everything we wanted in one easy-to-use solution,” said Major General Hesham Tawfiq, Head of Security at Cairo Bank.
“We are honored to work with a forward-thinking institution like Cairo Bank that continuously seeks new ways to leverage technology,” said Firas Jadalla, Regional Director, Middle East & Africa at Genetec Inc. “By unifying systems, the bank is building a consistent operational foundation for its branch network, allowing it to respond to changing regulatory and operational requirements while retaining control over how its environment evolves.”
Integrated Technics, the systems integrator responsible for delivering the project, led the proof of concept, system design and implementation. The company continues to provide technical support and system optimization as the deployment expands.
“The Command and Control Room gives Cairo Bank a real-time operational hub built on Security Center, bringing video surveillance, access control and intrusion detection into a single interface. This enables operators to monitor activity across the branch network, coordinate responses and make faster, more informed decisions,” said Walid Alagamy, CEO of Integrated Technics.
