[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent pachinko parlors, a dedicated inter-lens ball lending machine is provided for each pachinko machine so that the balls can be rented without leaving the seat for the convenience of users. Normally, this type of pedestrian ball lending machine is continuously used without replacing it even when the pachinko machine is replaced due to a new store opening or the like.

By the way, as an illegal act for a pachinko machine, a high-power radio wave is applied to the pachinko machine or a high-voltage electric current is applied to the pachinko machine to cause a malfunction of a CPU for controlling the pachinko machine. There is a widespread misconduct in which a ROM for controlling a pachinko machine is modified into a so-called set ROM, which is modified so as to be a big hit by a specific irregular hitting method (hereinafter referred to as irregular hitting).

For this reason, it is common practice to install a security camera at a proper place in a pachinko parlor and use it to control fraudulent activity and to identify fraudulent persons. In addition, recently, a pachinko machine itself is provided with a receiving means for receiving electric waves output from a radio device or the like, and if the electric wave received by the receiving means is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, an illegal act by the electric wave is performed. As a countermeasure, measures are taken such as being configured to issue a warning and incorporating a checker for detecting the set ROM in order to prevent an illegal act by the set ROM.

[0005]

By the way, when a fraudulent act is discovered, the crime is proved by the image taken by the security camera. Normally, the security camera images the inside of the store from the vicinity of the ceiling. Therefore, it is not sufficient to identify the criminal, because only the image from diagonally above can be obtained.
Also, even in the fraudulent act of exchanging with the set ROM, which is the most problematic right now, in order to prevent the execution criminal from being seen in the security camera, there is a case in which fraudulent acts are conspired by a plurality of people, so If you become a Goto teacher, you can exchange it in about 1 minute, so it is often impossible to identify the criminal only with the security camera. Further, a fraudulent act of exchanging the ROM may be carried out by holding a salesclerk, a security guard, or the like who is familiar with the internal circumstances of the pachinko parlor, and in such a case, proving the crime is more difficult. On the other hand, it is conceivable to attach a security camera to the pachinko machine itself to capture an image of the crime scene as close as possible. However, because the pachinko machine is replaced every year, for example, if such a crime prevention device is incorporated. , Will impose a heavy financial burden on the owners of pachinko parlors. In addition, when a new device is installed in the pachinko machine, approval must be obtained each time, and the procedure becomes complicated.

The object of the present invention is to reduce the economical burden,
