Abstract: An ATM fraud detection system having a plurality of vibration sensors to detect vibration of one or more of an ATM cash dispenser, card reader, cash rejection bin, and/or cash tray. The system further having NFC sensor to detect persistent presence of wireless signal near an ATM machine. The system also includes a plurality of reed switch sensors to detect tampering of cash door, network cable-model interface, network cable-computer interface, hard disk drive-computer interface and/or ATM keyboard cable-computer interface. A micro controller is programmed to detect fraudulent ATM activity such as jackpotting, transaction reversal, shimming, skimming, cash trapping or internal theft.

Abstract: A SentryWare apparatus comprising Vibration/Accelerometer Sensors deployed on ATM Cash Dispenser, ATM Card Reader, ATM Cash Reject Bin, ATM Cash Tray, ATM Cash Dispenser Door, ATM base, and ATM card intake, Electric/Magnetic (Reed) Switch sensors deployed at Network Cable-Modem interface, Network Cable-Computer interface, Hard Disk Drive-Computer interface, ATM Keyboard Cable-Computer Interface, Power Clamp meter wrapped around the power cable serving the ATM cash dispenser, and NEC sensor deployed near the NEC reader of the ATM is used to detect bank ATM frauds. The sentryWare apparatus has a microcontroller that can read sensor data from which bank ATM frauds can be deduced. [Problem to be solved]: Billions of dollars are lost around the world due to ATM (Automated Teller Machine) fraud. These frauds need to be detected and stopped. The ATM frauds are: 1.
