Device, method, and system for extracting deposited items from an ATM/CAT safe

The present invention relates generally to removal of valuable items from a secure enclosure, and more particularly to a device, method, and system for securely extracting and connectionless tracking of removal of deposited items from an automated teller machine/customer access terminal (ATM/CAT). A device, system and method for extracting deposited items from a secure enclosure, such as the envelope bin of an ATM/CAT safe, makes use, for example, of computer hardware and software applications, as well as one or more secure access devices, card devices, transponder devices, input devices, control mechanisms, transport bins, and transport devices, to modify or field retrofit an existing ATM/CAT to enable removal of items without opening the safe door. The modified ATM/CAT enables a service person, for example, to enter a retrieval request, which is received by a control device, and the control device automatically opens an access port of shutter of the ATM/CAT safe and automatically activates a transport mechanism to transport items out of the safe to be received by the service person or a secured access bin docked, for example, with the access port.
