A of the present day system detects reduced light flushs at ATMs using light sensors that communicate with a monitoring station via wireless transmitters. According to manufacturer Inform of Pasadena, Calif., the guide to the interface is the ITI Quik Bridge noose Receiver. When a signal arrives from a light sensor, Quik Bridge relays a message to the monitoring station, alerting staff of the darkened ATM. Using supervised wireless transmitters, the location of the darkened area can be determined immediately. Powered with lithium batteries designed to last 20 years, the ITI long-life transmitters throw a wireless signal 150 yards to a Quik Bridge loophole Receiver interfaced with an Inform life management system.
