1. A fixedly mounted ticket detection device for an access control system, comprising:
at least one camera-based detection equipment configured to detect images of a graphical ticket code of a ticket medium in a detection area of the camera-based detection equipment and to generate detected image data from the detected images;
at least one evaluation equipment communicatively coupled to the camera-based detection equipment and configured at least to obtain the detected image data from the camera-based detection equipment and to extract a data content of the graphical ticket code from the obtained detected image data;
at least one optical display equipment communicatively coupled to the camera-based detection equipment and configured to obtain the detected image data from the camera-based detection equipment and to display the obtained detected image data as images;
at least one error evaluation module communicatively coupled to the camera-based detection equipment and configured to determine a presentation error based on the detected image data of the ticket medium and at least one error criterion; and
(1) at least one error output module communicatively coupled to the error evaluation module and configured to at least cause an outputting, by the ticket detection device, of an error message if a presentation error is determined, and/or
(2) at least one read confirmation module communicatively coupled to the evaluation equipment and configured to at least cause an outputting, by the ticket detection device, of a read confirmation message if a successful extraction of the data content of the graphical ticket code from the detected image data has taken place.
