SMARTDOOR
IBNS is therefore accepted by the banking and security industry as being one of the most effective deterrents for overall ATM protection and have proven to deter criminal activities around the world.
The system includes one security door – SmartDoor® – that is installed in the front of the cash handler module, blocking access to the cassettes inside the ATM cash handle module in accordance to system status (armed or disarmed). This unit is equipped with a touch screen LCD display and interfaces easily with the user, showing all the relevant data and system status in real time. This patented door is a very important feature of the system as it prevents false positive neutralization triggers due to CIT or bank branch staff mishandling the ATM cassettes.
The SmartDoor® communicates wirelessly with all the cassettes inside of the ATM ensuring no user errors in arming or disarming of the system when legitimate openings and closings of the ATM is performed. The SmartStain system will automatically arm and disarm if the ATM safe door is opened or closed in accordance to the operational procedures that is defined by the Banking or ATM Client.
Each cassette is fitted with an electronic ink module inside the lid that can detect any unauthorized attempt to access the cash. The SmartStain ink modules are easily installed in the cassettes, compact in size and extremely durable and effective against aggressive attacks like bombings and ram-raids.
