Facing with large quantities of ATMs/Self Service Banking which are unattended and dispersive as well as difficult to patrol, the construction aim of new ATM surveillance system of Yuantuo should be set on 5 application areas which are networking surveillance, alarm linkage, equipment integration, multi-users sharing and intelligent analysis.
Security measures should transform from collecting evidence afterwards into recognizing exceptional actions, tracking and controlling the criminal processes, and thus to turn the passive prevention to active attack. By using the universal networking construction, to break the information isolation and achieve to transform the traditional surveillance to intelligent recognition, single surveillance to multi-system integration. As to the user management, transformation should be achieved from human patrolling to system auto-patrolling and report； from human examine mode to system auto-alarm； from picking up to read the historical images afterwards to the early warning and tracking of exceptional actions； from traditional human management to technological management； from banks organizing teams to manage to specialized companies providing low cost maintenance service； from searching from numerous images to system auto-reminding the important information.
First of all, the foundation of ATM security is networking surveillance. No matter how perfect the self-prevention system is, when the alarm raises, only through networking surveillance system can it make responses immediately and prevent crimes in time. In 2005, Nanjing Internal Defense Agency organized the ATM networking project in the city to strengthen the regulation of ATM safety. Four protection functions of the networking work on ATM had been clearly stated which were: real-time image retrival； historical image playback； surveillance equipment patrolling； alarm transmission. Surveillance equipment such as video, vibration, infrared and proximity can be combined with fire control, light, access control through network to set the alarm linkage. Under the alarm state, the linkage can auto start the subsystems to form joint defense.
Based on the networking surveillance system, it can analyze the exceptional behaviors on the scene and design the early warning. Video intelligent recognition system customized to prevent various kinds of crimes on ATM/ Self Service Banking can largely reduce the quantity of image transmission and surveillance points by analyzing and filtering. The ATM networking in Nanjing, uses intelligent measures and dynamic analysis algorithm to adjust the image risk and increase the alternate inspection probability. With the prior cooperation of alarm image, the warning rate of risks can be increased. Its recognition modes are:
Achieving the recognition installation on the card slot—to prevent installing card retaining equipment or card reader on the card slot；
Sealing banknote output recognition －- to prevent criminals using sellotape to seal the banknote output feed and as soon as the cardholders leave, they will steal the cash.
Keyboard paster recognition －- to prevent criminals sticking a pad pasting or pretending to add a keyboard to steal users’ passwords；
Fake ads or ads box recognition －- to prevent installing maser to steal cardholder’s password by analyzing the surrounding scenes of the ATM or prevent criminals using fake notice to get the card number and password；
Knocking or smashing ATM recognition －- to prevent some violence on the ATM such as prying, smashing or cutting (vibration alarm)；
Wandering or lingering recognition －- according to the features that the criminals will always wander or linger for a long time before attacking the target, it can analyze the video about the specific area to judge whether it is a suspect or a lodged person in the Self Service Banking；
Robbery with violence recognition －- by analyzing the quick motion, it can identify fights, robberies, and coercions.
Items left recognition －- through intelligent recognition of new added items on the scene, suspicious items or forgotten goods of cardholders’ can be found. It can use the front audio device and timely voice reminder to remind the cardholder.
