Detector 1
The output of 5 is provided on line 18 to processing circuit 20.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the processing circuit 20. When an object to be detected, for example, a human body, is detected by the detector 15, the process proceeds from the next step n2 to step n3, and the timer 5 starts counting. In step n4, the door 1 is opened by the drive source 4. In the next step n5, it is determined whether or not the clocking time of the timer 5 has elapsed a predetermined time T1. After the door has been opened for the predetermined time T1, the process proceeds to the next step n6, where the rear of the terrors machine 3 is set. Is operated to emit infrared rays to the face of a person who is behind, for example, within a range of 10 to 20 m behind the tellers machine 3. At this time, in step n7, the photographic film is imaged by the camera 11. The processing circuit 20 controls the shutter operation of the camera 11 via the line 16. Thus, step n8
Then, a series of operations ends. In step n6, the door 1 is closed by the drive source 4 after the above-mentioned time T1 has elapsed.

In step a4, after the end of the photographing, the motor M2 is driven to rotate to perform a winding operation for one film frame, and the apparatus enters a standby state for the next photographing. In step a5, the number of windings is incremented by one.
In step a6, it is determined whether the counted number of windings is the maximum possible number of films, for example, whether 36 or 24 images have been photographed. In this embodiment, it is determined that the filming of 36 films has been completed. If it is determined that the position of the belt 81 has been determined, the process moves to the next step a7, in which the belt 81 is rotationally driven by the motor M1 constituting the belt driving means, and the positioning piece 80 pushes the camera 71 to the downstream side in the moving direction, and the storage section 101 (FIG. ), And at the same time a new camera 71a is brought to a stop position for shooting. Camera 7 brought to this stop position
