Abstract

See full text

A method is provided for avoiding false alarms on a self-service terminal, in particular an ATM. The ATM has at least one camera and at least one alarm unit that generates alarms when the ATM is attacked, and a network connection to a network to pass on the alarms to a customer. The method includes generating an alarm by the alarm unit and storing alarm images from the camera from which the alarm was derived; before passing on the alarm to an operator via a digital network, comparing the digital alarm images with templates stored on the ATM and that characterize a false alarm, and if a correlation with the templates is established, the alarm is ignored; otherwise the alarm is passed on to the consumer by the network.
