A vault is attacked from the side no camera can see: through the wall, the floor or the ceiling. WallAlert senses the structure itself, so the alarm starts with the first minutes of drilling, not when someone steps through the hole.
Rarely through the door. The professional pattern is penetration through the envelope: drilling or breaking through a shared wall from a neighboring tenancy, coming up through the floor, or down through the ceiling, usually across a weekend or holiday when time is on the attacker’s side. Interior sensors and cameras only speak once the attacker is already inside, which converts days of drilling time into a clean margin. The envelope itself has to be the sensor.
The Bank Protection Act of 1968, implemented through 12 CFR Part 21 for national banks, 12 CFR 208.61 for Federal Reserve members and 12 CFR Part 326 for FDIC supervised institutions, requires minimum security devices including vault protection and alarm systems. UL 608 governs vault construction and UL 681 governs the installation and extent of burglar alarm protection. Insurers layer their own vault requirements on top, and the fastest growing demand comes from cash logistics operators, private vaults and cash intensive businesses that banks decline.
WallAlert runs a sensor cable across the vault walls, floor and ceiling and listens to the structure itself. Drilling, coring, cutting and breaking each produce distinctive structural vibration that the processor separates from the urban baseline of traffic, HVAC and construction nearby, so the alarm fires in the first minutes of an attack. Vault zones stay armed around the clock, independent of the opening schedule, and the output lands on the existing burglar panel as a standard zone the monitoring center already handles.
Beyond the vault, cash cages take microphonic sensing and bank network rooms can carry alarmed carrier protection, both designed alongside WallAlert where the risk assessment calls for them.
As a standard kit per branch: cable sized to the vault envelope, one processor, dry contact to the panel. A security integrator completes a branch in days without disturbing operations, and the same specification repeats across the network, which is what makes compliance documentation and maintenance uniform from the flagship branch to the smallest.

With structural vibration sensing on the vault envelope. A sensor cable on the walls, floor and ceiling picks up the distinctive vibration of drilling, coring and breaking as it starts, hours before a hole opens, and raises the alarm through the existing panel.
A wall vibration detection cable such as WallAlert. It is bonded to the structure itself, so any attempt to defeat the envelope, from any side, is sensed regardless of where cameras point.
The Bank Protection Act, implemented through 12 CFR Part 21, 208.61 and Part 326 depending on the regulator, requires banks to designate a security officer and maintain minimum security devices including vault protection and alarm systems. UL 608 and UL 681 govern vault construction and alarm installation practice.
The processing is built to separate continuous urban vibration from the sharp, localized signatures of attack tools. Sensitivity is set per zone during commissioning against the real background of the site.
Yes. The same structural sensing applies to ATM enclosures, night deposit vaults and cash rooms, on the same processor family and panel integration as the main vault.
