Comments on: Inside a Diebold Transaction Number Generator http://www.neufeld.newton.ks.us/electronics/?p=171 Sun, 08 Dec 2024 17:19:24 -0600 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Keith Neufeld http://www.neufeld.newton.ks.us/electronics/?p=171&cpage=1#comment-20934 Keith Neufeld Sun, 28 Oct 2007 23:48:23 +0000 http://www.neufeld.newton.ks.us/electronics/?p=171#comment-20934 I emailed Mike to ask whether he could tell me more about it, and he wrote: <blockquote>It looks to me to be something kind of like this <a href="http://www.americanvideoequipment.com/vsi.html " rel="nofollow">http://www.americanvideoequipment.com/vsi.html</a>, so you would have a camera that watches the register, and then the device that would overlay what the register is doing.</blockquote> The device in Mike's link overlays real cash register data (subtotals in different categories) onto the picture. I suspect that my Diebold isn't that sophisticated, and instead just provides a transaction number (hey!) that correlates the register ticket with the appropriate spot on the security video. Thanks, Mike! I emailed Mike to ask whether he could tell me more about it, and he wrote:

Thanks, Mike!
