How did it get power and storage? The money release slot was modified?

Here are a few more angles: https://imgur.com/a/IQR4j

It was fairly thick - maybe 1/2" - so had plenty space for an SD card, battery, etc. I don't think they leave them on the ATM for a very long time before retrieval so it wouldn't need a huge battery.

I'm going to stop by the bank tomorrow to find out what happened with it.
