Abstract : A variety of commercial and private financial transaction are commonly carried out by Automated teller Machines (ATMs) and its security has always been a topic of study that tries to develop solutions that gives as many points in protecting ATM against electronic and physical threat. The availability of ATM machine is increasing exponentially day by day thus making it vulnerable to robbers and hackers. The implementation uses embedded system to ensure protection of ATM machine against physical threats in a cost effective way. The embedded system platform concept opens up an area for a new system architecture for monitoring the activities and positioning the machinery with greater efficiency and much better coverage. In this paper, a set of sensors are used which can detect any kind of physical assault faced by the ATM. The sensors are continuously monitored and is triggered upon any kind of unusual activities faced by the ATM and the door will be automatically locked. The system uses the Node MCU (Micro Controller Unit) board with ESP8266 microcontroller to function and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag which is used to deactivate the sensors for maintenance and unlock the door from outside in case of any problem. With the continuous monitoring, every information is delivered to the respective authorities with the aid of IOT (Internet Of Things).
