  • Patent number: 4245902
    Abstract: An apparatus for confirming a bank deposit having been actually done at a bank night depository chute, thus eliminating subsequent contradiction of the unwitnessed deposit between the bank and the depositor, the apparatus including a dual camera that is activated to operate when the chute door is unlocked, so a forward extending lens photographs the face of the depositor, and another lens, pointing into the chute, photographs the package deposited into the chute, the invention also including another design in which the dual camera is of movie camera type that records the entire operation inside the chute from the amount of the chute door opening to the closing thereof so to indicate if the package is removed again before door closing, and the apparatus including auxillary, spaced apart still camera all pointed at the depositor so to prevent easy covering of the lens.
