Abstract: An identification card camera system including a data carrier and an arrangement for reproducing on an identification card a portion of the data from the data carrier and the image of a subject, and for reproducing on a photographic record the portion of the data reproduced on the identification card, as well as additional data from the data carrier and an image of the subject. A blip is produced on the photographic record in association with each subject and related data. Additional blips representing the beginning and end of subjects and related data recorded during a supervisory operational period are produced on the photographic record.

Abstract: An identification card camera for producing photoprint identification cards having a subject portrait and subject related data in respective areas of the card and a record film of the card includes a cyclically operable imaging system by which an image of a data carrying card is exposed to a first area of the identification card film and a first frame of a record film and an image of the subject is exposed to a second area of the identification card film and to a second frame of the record film. A micro-processor based logic system controls the imaging system to produce the identification card and the record film frames and monitors operation of the imaging system. Camera operation is terminated if an unexpected change in the operational status of the data carrying card, identification card film, record film, or other components of the imaging system is detected during execution of the camera cycle.
