First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- (a) capturing with an imaging device, first image data corresponding to an image of at least a portion of a user interface of an automated banking machine that includes a cash dispenser, and storing the first image data in at least one data store through operation of at least one processor;
(b) subsequent to (a), capturing with the image device, second image data corresponding to an image of at least a portion of the user interface of the automated banking machine;
(c) comparing the first image data and the second image data through operation of at least one processor to determine if there is at least a level of change between the first and second image data;

Abstract
An automated banking machine is operative to dispense cash to authorized users. The user interface of the machine includes features for detection of fraudulent activities at the machine. Sensors are provided for detecting the installation of unauthorized card reading devices adjacent the card reader. Vibration sensors are used to detect the installation of unauthorized card reading or bill trap devices. A machine controller or other processor is programmed to detect events or circumstances which may indicate that improper activity is occurring. Cameras are used to capture images of the user interface. Changes in the images are analyzed by a computer to detect the installation of unauthorized devices.
