Surveillance system for application in automated teller machines
First Claim
1. A surveillance system for application in automated teller machines comprising:
- one or more automated teller machine(s), each of which is installed with hidden pin-hole video camera(s), a server and networking facilities, and a central monitoring station, wherein the circuit board of the server has a microprocessor installed with software which automatically links the account data of an inserted ATM card with recorded video images and automatically saves temporary image backup files using the account data as parameters, as well as software which automatically compresses temporary image backup files and transmits them by long-distance real time transmission via the networking facilities to the central monitoring station for surveillance and permanent backup storage;
the input/output terminals of the microprocessor connect to the input/output terminals of the video camera(s) and the networking facilities.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a surveillance system for application in automated teller machines (ATMs) which comprises one or more automated teller machine(s), each of which is installed with hidden pin-hole video camera(s), a server and networking facilities, and a central monitoring station. The circuit board of the server has a microprocessor installed with software which automatically links the account data of an inserted ATM card with recorded video images and automatically saves temporary image backup files using the account data as parameters, as well as software which automatically compresses temporary image backup files and transmits them by long-distance real time transmission via the networking facilities to the central monitoring station for surveillance and permanent backup storage. Real time surveillance of video images or the use of parameters in backup file searches allow rapid, easy, accurate and effective monitoring of problematic transactions and retrieval of video images of a particular ATM user.
