ATM Station Security Monitoring System with iNut: Door – Vibration – Heat Sensors, AI Camera & Instant Alerts

ATM booths are a security hot spot: located in low-traffic areas after hours, holding cash, yet often guarded by nothing more than a single passive recording camera. When criminals pry open doors, break safes, wire up a skimmer, or use heat to cut through, the footage only lets you review it after the fact. Security staff can't be everywhere at once, and manually checking each booth is both labor-intensive and always a step behind.

Modern security isn't about recording footage to cross-check afterward — it's about letting sensors stand watch in place of eyes, letting the system sound the alarm the instant trouble begins, and letting evidence be sent to the center automatically. iNut brings exactly that toolkit to every ATM station — proactive, instant, and centrally monitored.

Every correct response begins with a correct signal. iNut collects the ATM booth's security status in real time: door/safe-lid sensor (closed – open – forced), vibration/impact sensor (drilling, cutting, wrenching the machine), heat & smoke sensor (burning, electrical fire), plus an infrared motion sensor for after-hours detection. Everything is gathered in one place, timestamped for traceability.

ATM stations are scattered across transaction offices, shopping malls, gas stations, or outdoor kiosks — running signal cables to every site is both costly and hard to maintain. iNut RS485 gathers in-booth sensors, while iNut WiFi Mesh transmits data wirelessly, automatically hopping across multiple booths to cover an entire building. At outdoor sites without grid power, devices run on solar power, and when the fixed network drops, iNut PC automatically switches to a 4G uplink so watch duty is never interrupted.

Ordinary cameras are only for after-the-fact review; iNut's AI camera actively analyzes footage 24/7: detecting people loitering after hours, covering their faces, or entering the booth wearing a helmet, as well as behavior such as wrenching the machine or attaching a foreign device to the card slot (skimmer). When a pattern matches, the AI boxes the subject and fires an instant alert — combined with door and vibration signals to filter out false alarms, flagging only genuinely suspicious activity.

Just set up the scenario once: safe door forced open after hours → sound the siren + flash the light + interlock the booth door; temperature over threshold or smoke detected → cut unsafe power and trigger a fire alarm; abnormally strong vibration → capture photos, record clips, and lock in evidence. iNut controls the relay/siren/lock with if-then logic right on site, reacting instantly even when the connection back to the center is temporarily down.

When an incident occurs, every second counts. iNut PC at the edge layer runs the logic and pushes alerts via Email/Telegram with photos and the booth's location the moment a threshold is exceeded, so guards and duty staff know instantly what is happening and where. The whole ATM network appears on the iNut Platform's SCADA dashboard (self-hosted cloud) and on the iNut app: view real-time status, replay event history, and iNut Datalogger keeps a full log for investigation and reconciliation.

iNut devices are compact and can be added to existing ATM booths without drilling or complex rewiring. At outdoor sites or kiosks without convenient grid power, the sensor cluster runs on solar power and transmits wirelessly; all threshold configuration, adding new booths, and duty-staff permissions are handled remotely via the iNut app. Scaling from one branch to the entire system is simply a matter of copying the scenario — standardized, easy to maintain, low operating cost.
