Suspicion button
The suspicion button or single image button is part of an optical room surveillance system , which is mainly found in banks and savings banks .
The suspicion button can be used to take pictures of suspicious activities in the customer room and at the cash desk. No alarm is triggered, as is the case with the attack detector .
The suspicion button should be installed out of sight of the customer and clearly distinguishable from the hold-up alarm.
Cash desks of banks and savings banks and the entrances to casinos and amusement arcades must be equipped with optical room monitoring systems according to § 6 UVV “Kassen” and § 6 UVV “Spielhallen”. The records of this system must be able to make separate suspicion recordings in accordance with Section 3.3., Paragraph b of the "Installation Instructions for Optical Room Monitoring Systems" . These must be secured against accidental deletion.
In order to record the history of a robbery, the video system must record video images for at least 15 minutes without triggering the robbery alarm system. When the alarm is triggered or the suspicion switch is operated, a recording must be made for at least another 15 minutes.
Many credit institutions and amusement arcades are now continuously recording images of the surveillance systems on hard drives or servers. These backups are usually only overwritten after a few days, which is why a subsequent inspection and, if necessary, permanent backup of the images is possible without any problems even without triggering a suspect button. For this reason, suspicion buttons are increasingly losing their practical importance.
