Garage Owner
With the frequency of filling stations losing money to drivers that conveniently forget to pay for
their gas before driving off the garage forecourt, independent garage operators and large gas
chains may like to consider the savings potentials that an AXIS 2420 could provide. Establish a
motion detection window for every pump station on the forecourt a visual record of the license
number plate of every car visiting can be recorded on a database against the appropriate till
receipts – or lack of receipt, in the event of a bad memory! Consider also the further potential
savings against visual verification for unmanned gas stations, and credit card transactions.
With staff at many filling stations constantly exposed to the threat of armed-robbery, network
cameras can provide additional security: with many criminals familiar with the CCTV systems
installed in most premises, the cry of a shrewd thief to nervous cash staff is all too often "give
us all your money... and then your VCR". The thief then proceeds to walk off completely
satisfied that he now has the visual evidence that might otherwise of convicted him of the crime
safely tucked under his arm – with the money.
But with an AXIS 2420 Network Camera possibly transmitting live video of his crime to
conceivably any remote server over the Internet, any technologically aware criminal would
indeed need to think twice. The non-discerning criminals get identified, caught and convicted.
The garage owners benefit from lower staff turnover and absenteeism due posttraumatic stress –
and receive better quotes on next year's insurance premium.

ATM Machines
As a means of protecting against credit and cash card
fraud, high street banks could opt to install network
cameras and/or video servers to monitor ATM
transactions.
Used for generally monitoring the ATM or within
specific applications that take a single still face-on
image of the visitor withdrawing cash, a separate image
file can be stored onto a central database.
In the event of a suspected fraud the image related to
the transaction in question can be recalled from the
database and used as photographic evidence.
Institutions may choose to introduce such surveillance methods as a mandatory requirement for
all visiting ATM customers, or as an optional value-added banking service for any customers
wishing to be provided this service against personal embezzlement.
