Abstract
The invention proposes an automated teller machine having different control elements, such as a card entry slot (), for example, wherein at least one camera (CAMK) is integrated in a control element, the card entry slot (), for example, and captures images of a plurality of sub-regions attributed to said control element (), such as an interior region, outer region and overhead region. Lighting (L) that illuminates one or some of the partial regions, the interior region or the slit region of the card entry slot (), for example, can also be arranged, thereby also improving the image. In addition, the construction can be furnished with a light-conducting material (K) over which light produced by the lighting (L) can be guided and distributed.
