6.7 Night Deposit Box and ATM Applications
When planning the detector layout for night deposit boxes or ATMs it is important to protect the
most likely points of attack:
a) The body of the ATM/night deposit box near to the dispenser or opening.
b) The door for accessing the interior of the ATM or night deposit box.
To provide the highest security level consider the type of detector to use and the accessories that
will complement the design & assist with the detection properties of the detector.

Figure 6-14: Night deposit box shows a typical example of a night deposit box application, with the
grey area being the public access side and the white area being the secure side. The wall provides
a physical divide between the two areas.

Detectors should be mounted close to the potential attack points, but consideration should be given
to the following environmental factors that can generate noise and vibration:
Opening and closing the door
Depositing of cash in the depository drawer
Drop of deposits to the floor of the protected area
