Development of Advanced ATM Surveillance and Security System

ATM systems offer great convenience to the public for withdrawal of money from their bank accounts and provides pleasant advantage on losing their time in the bank for many hours. At the same time, there are many ATM robberies that have been reported in India, even when the CCTV cameras are placed in the ATM centres. Hence, it is important to employ an automatic surveillance system to protect and secure the ATM machine from such threats. In this paper, an automatic surveillance and control system for ATM is proposed which can monitor the ATM system for any attack either on ATM machine or on user while doing transaction in ATM centre and prevent it and trap the burglar. This system will enhance the security level of ATM centres. A prototype of this system with necessary hardware is developed to demonstrate the effectiveness of this system in real time ATM centres.
