Abstract
Abstract A surveillance device for the protection of an automatic delivery apparatus operable by code carriers, in particular of a money dispenser, has a video camera (12), which is arranged to be triggered responsive to actuation of the automatic delivery apparatus (10), and which takes and stores a picture of a field of view (14) within which a user has to be, when actuating the automatic delivery apparatus. A sensor (16) responds to the presence of objects within a forbidden zone comprising a region adjacent to the video camera. The automatic delivery apparatus is blocked, when the sensor (16) responds to an object.
