ABSTRACT:
A system for providing emergency alerting capability to persons at or near a remote banking terminal (ATM) or night-depository, in such a manner as to minimize risk to the possible victim and maximize the emergency response authorities' ability to monitor and respond to the situation. The device consists of a covert control and two-way communication unit attached to an Automatic Teller Machine or a night-depository. The unit is activated by a button or switch on the ATM, or by a remote radio receiver link from a keyed small radio transmitter. Upon activation, the unit dials a 911 emergency response office, establishing two-way voice communication from covert microphones at the ATM, and to a speaker hidden at the ATM. During communication, the unit is controlled by the emergency response operator. In an improved embodiment, the system would cover multiple automatic teller machines at an automatic teller machine site, so that when one of the automatic teller machines was activated by the user, there would be communication between that one automatic teller machine and a radio dispatcher at a 911 location, and the other automatic teller machines at the site would be deactivated.
