§ 75-c. Security measures. Every banking institution shall maintain
the following security measures with respect to each of the automated
teller machine facilities within its dominion and control:

occurring within a minimum of three feet in front of an automated teller
machine located outside a building and open to the outdoor air. Such

competence in such matters and as permitted by local building codes, at
least one exterior wall which provides an unobstructed view of the
interior of the automated teller machine facility.
(c) A reflective mirror or mirrors, as necessary, placed in such a
manner as to permit a person entering an indoor automated teller machine
facility to view areas within such facility that are otherwise concealed
to plain view.

recorded by a surveillance camera or cameras;
