Photo-Verification
Introduction
Each operator can select door(s) to have the
stored photo for entrants displayed each time
someone gains access (or is denied entry) at
any of the selected door(s). The last 1, 4, or 9
entrant's photos can be displayed.
The photo can then be used to verify each
entrant's identity. This can be done locally--
such as by an attendant in a reception area, or
remotely through a camera on a map.
This feature is configurable separately for each
operator (as described in a following section/below).
This pertains to the photo associated with
each card/person in the "Users" screen.
For details, see "The Photo-Badging
Option".
