The risks that the ATMs and associated structures are subject to can be separated into five
classifications:

1. Vandalism – in the form of violent abuse & graffiti, for purely destructive purposes.
2. Tamper – in the form of subtle modifications to pushbuttons, card slots and cash channels, for card swapping and other fraudulent purposes to enable access to cardholder’s bank cards and PIN numbers for eliciting unauthorised cash from cardholder accounts.
3. Abduction – where the ATM machine is forcibly removed from the retaining structure, for the purpose of stealing all cash contained within the machine.
4. Intrusion – where the Cash Handling Area at the rear of the ATM is forcibly entered for the purpose of stealing all cash contained within the machine.
5. Physical Hijack – Where a Custodian manned guard cash handler is physically threatened/abducted and forced to open the ATM for the purpose of stealing all cash contained within the machine(s).

American Video Equipment’s Video Serial Interface for Automatic Teller Machines connects between the modem and the ATM or to the External Camera Controller port on the ATM. The interface monitors the data stream from the ATM and inserts printer or display data from the receipt into the video picture.
