1 Functionality

A unit with ATM function can link images to the transactions generated by the ATM, both live
video and recording video.

The functionality is available for local and remote interface. The units are compatible with the
Supervisor VS for video functionality.

Images associated with ATM

One of the main features is the searching simultaneously of data and images. The searching
can cover different days, you have to enter the transaction data or request an intelligent word
search.

The storage of the data that is generated by the ATM besides the recording video allows you
to export video synchronized with the data.

Connections

The connection to the ATM is made through the VX-ATM’s network connection is also
possible to connect to the ATM from the USB unit’s port to the ATM’s serial port.

Events and alarms

One feature is the possibility of using key text strings or any incoming text string to generate
events or alarms on the cameras associated to the ATM. With the events and alarms you can
mark the video, generate relay activations, and send alarms.

The alarms can be sent via e-mail (alarm frames: VAV) or can be notified to up to two
Supervisor VS. The alarm sent by email includes in the subject the key text that has generated
the ATM alarm.

As video recording unit has real time video recording with data transmission to one or several
users.

For further information about the unit’s features as video recording please consult the
user manual at www.visual-tools.com .

2 Cameras installation

You can use any camera, PAL or NTSC depending on the VX-ATM model. Bear in mind that
the unit will records the camera signal being recommend colour cameras with good signal
level and clarity.

The cameras can be used for surveillance and transaction recording. The VX-ATM associates
the operating person to the transaction, allowing identifying any issue.

3 ATM connection to the VX-ATM

The connection between the ATM and the VX-ATM it is done thought the local network cable
or from the ATM serial port to the unit USB port.

1.- Connection through local network, HTTP connection.

1. The connection is being made through a network cable between the ATM and the
VX-ATM unit.

2. The ATM must have integrated the POS-HTTP data transmission protocol
supplied by the manufacturer of the VX-ATM units. For this process it is
necessary that the ATM software manufacturer integrates the POS-HHTTP
protocol in the ATM this way the machine can transfer transactions to the VX-ATM
through the local network.

3. The VX-ATM has a specific key for this protocol, the ATM must have this key
configured to communicate.

4. The ATM has an ID that has to be defined in the VX-ATM unit, in the
Configuration/POS screen.

For further information please contact to the support department:

 Phone: [phone]
 Email: [e-mail]

2.- Connection through ATM serial port.

The ATM has to send the texts through a RS232 serial line. To connect the RS232 to the VX­ATM unit it is necessary to use a RS232-USB adapter provided by the manufacturer.

User manual 5

Configuration:

1. The ATM serial port has to be configured as follows:
.- Bits per second: 9600
.- Data bits: 8
.- Parity: None
.- Stop bits: 1
.- Flow control: None

2. Features of the text sent:
.- The characters must be coded in ANSI format.
.- Each line must finish with a CR.
.- Not all the ANSI characters are supported. These are the characters admitted by

the protocol:

[Space]
[Return line]
1234567890
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNСOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnсopqrstuvwxyz
БЙНУЪ бйнуъ
, . ; : ? ! = ( ) + - / $ " # @ _ < > & %

3. VX-ATM: Select the POS protocol to use in the Configuration/POS windows, for
further information please consult the chapter five.

.- Connection type: Select USB ports
.- POS protocol: Select SIDG.

With this configuration the VX-ATM shows in the video the text strings as are received, the unit
adds at the beginning of each line the hour’s text reception.

It saves the text labelled with the reception date and time internally, so it is possible to search
by date and text, and combine it to the correspondent video.

The unit dispose of 2 USB ports at the rear to connect to the ATM; this is the order of the ports
for the USB-RS232 connections:

User manual 6

The unit includes a RS232-USB converter. In case that you need to connect a second ATM
you need to order an additional cable.

4 ATM functionality configuration

Each ATM based unit has 1 HTTP connection and 2 USB ports. To configure the connections
on the VX-ATM unit it is necessary to access as Administrator user.

Note: In the configuration interface the ATM connections are shown as POS (Point of sale),
bear in mind that for all purposes the terms are equivalent.

In the Configuration tab select the POS section, the following window will appear.

Figure.- 4 ATM configuration window

In this window you can configure the ATM connection to the unit. For the ATM function is
running and active it’s necessary to configure the camera recording frequency (either time­lapse or event) and select the camera associated to the ATM in the Configuration/POS
screen.

Point of Sales: – POS: ATM ID.
Last connection state: It shows the connection status by the icon status.

 Connected , the cable is connected properly, it has a camera assigned and a

recording frequency.

 Offline the cable is connected properly but it doesn’t have a camera

assigned or a recording frequency.

 Off is neither connected nor active.

POS protocol: This is the communication protocol between the ATM and the VX-ATM by
default SIDG.

HTTP Id: ATM ID when the HTTP protocol is used.
Camera: camera assigned to the ATM.
Time-lapse recording: Camera recording frequency in working hours and non working hours.

User manual 8

Configured: It shows whether the connection to the ATM is running or is stopped.
In the lower part you can choose the different types of connection for the ATM.

 USB ports. Direct connection to the USB ports.
 USB hubs. This option is not available for the ATM.
 HTTP. The ATM data entry can be done through a network connection between the

ATM and the VX-ATM, for that purpose you need to integrate a specific protocol.

The next item shows the type of transactions that the unit can store along with the recording
video.

 Customer: Client ticket print.
 Journal: Detailed information of the ATM use (types of transactions, number of

transactions , etc..)

The last option is the text overlay in remote live video and recording video and is checked by
default.

In the VX-ATM units you can record ATM’s transactions without time-lapse recording. The

Recording section shows what type of recording frequency has each camera. If it’s only event

recording you need to have at least 2 pre-event seconds to guarantee that the video
associated to the transaction is properly recorded.

When programming the POS you must press always the SAVE button after any connection
change and always after connecting a data line.

4.1 ATM events

In the ATM functionality configuration is possible to create events and alarms depending on
the information received. Press the POS EVENTS button in the POS configuration window
and you will access to this window where you can define the text strings able to generate an
event or an alarm.

Figure.- 5 ATM events configuration window

Apart from the use of key text strings is possible to use any incoming text string to generate
events or alarms.

When a ATM receive any of the defined words it generates an event / alarm than can be
consulted in the recorded video, there is also just for an alarm, the possibility of sending a
VAV with associated images.
