  • Patent number: 7984847
    Abstract: An automated banking machine operates responsive to data read from data bearing records, such as user cards that include financial account data. The machine operates to carry out transactions involving the accounts and generates records thereof. A plurality of cameras captures images associated with machine users, documents and/or events. Image data is stored and may be searched based on selection parameters.

  • Patent number: 7950573
    Abstract: A banking system operates responsive to data read from data bearing records. Based on user data read by a card reader from a user card, a banking system machine can be used to carry out a transaction. Data read by the card reader is compared by a computer to data stored in an authorized machine user database. The banking system machine is operative to capture images of machine users. The captured user images can be stored in correlation with user transaction data in data bearing records. The banking system machine can produce markup language documents which include the data bearing records. The markup language documents can be communicated to a remote authorized analysis terminal.

  • Patent number: 7595816
    Abstract: A system and method for capturing image data captures images responsive to programmed sequences. The sequences are performed on a periodic basis as well as in response to inputs corresponding to alarm conditions and transactions conducted at automated banking machines or other devices. Image data may also be captured in response to image conditions including the sensing of motion or the loss of usable video from selected cameras. Image data is stored in connection with data corresponding to circumstances associated with each triggering event. Stored image data may be searched by one or more parameters. Parameters include data stored in association with each image, types of events causing image data to be stored, as well as other image conditions in stored images.

  • Patent number: 7533806
    Abstract: A system and method is carried out in connection with a card actuated automated banking machine. Image data read by a card reader from a card is compared to image data stored in an authorized machine user database. The automated banking machine is operative to capture images of machine users and received checks. The automated banking machine can produce markup language documents correlated with machine users and check images. The markup language documents can be communicated to a remote authorized analysis terminal.

  • Patent number: 7389914
    Abstract: A system and method is carried out in connection with a card actuated automated banking machine. The automated banking machine is operative to receive checks and dispense cash to users. The automated banking machine is operative to capture images of users and received checks. The automated banking machine operates to produce markup language documents including data corresponding to indicia included on the received checks. The markup language documents are correlated with the user and check images. The markup language documents and the images of the checks and customers are communicated to a remote check analysis terminal.
