Let There Be Light.

Let us help you stay in compliance and provide a safe environment for your customers. Most ATM robberies and assaults occur at night between 8:00 pm and midnight, and the majority of victims never see the assailant approaching. Our reports give you the information you need to make sure you have adequate lighting at your sites.

We combine on-site measurements, professional risk assessment, and detailed documentation so you can make confident, defensible decisions about every ATM location in your network.

  • Objective, third-party evaluations
  • Consistent methodology across all sites

ATM LIGHTING & LANDSCAPE INSPECTIONS

How safe are your ATM locations?

The ATM and Night Depository environment should have adequate lighting so users can perform reading and writing tasks, as well as enjoy safe passage to and from the machines. Lighting should evenly illuminate the ATM and Night Depository, serving as a deterrent to criminals and permitting the transaction to be clearly recorded on a video system.

The professionals of Dodgen Security Consulting have performed thousands of ATM lighting and landscape inspections for financial institutions across the country. Our extensive site surveys let our clients know if their ATM and Night Depositories meet standards. Our detailed reports include light meter readings, photographs of landscape issues, and site diagrams.

Comprehensive Site Surveys

Lighting Level Measurements

Landscape & Obstruction Review

Identification of trees, shrubs, signage, and other elements that may block sightlines, create hiding places, or interfere with camera coverage.

Having an accurate depiction of the conditions at each site can assist clients in making cost-effective decisions to create safer environments for their customers. Our loyalty is to our client, therefore we do not sell lighting equipment. Our purpose is to provide clients with an objective and accurate depiction of the lighting and landscaping conditions at each ATM location.
