6. Operating Instructions
This section outlines the basic operation of the facial recognition terminal.
6.1 User Enrollment
Before users can be authenticated, their facial data and/or card information must be enrolled into the system. The device has a capacity for up to 1500 faces and 3000 cards.
- Access the device's menu (requires administrator credentials).
- Navigate to "User Management" or "Enrollment".
- Select "Add User" and input required user details.
- For facial enrollment, instruct the user to stand within the recognition distance (0.3 m to 1.5 m) and face the camera. The device will capture the facial image.
- For card enrollment, present the card to the built-in card reader.
- Save the user's information.
6.2 Authentication Methods
- Facial Recognition:
Stand directly in front of the terminal within the specified recognition distance. The device will automatically detect and recognize your face. Recognition duration is less than 0.2 seconds per user, with an accuracy rate of 99% or higher. The device also supports mask recognition for enhanced security.
- Card Authentication:
Present your registered card to the card reading area on the terminal. The device will verify the card and grant access if authorized.
- Combined Authentication:
The terminal can be configured to require both facial recognition and card authentication for increased security.
6.3 Two-Way Audio
The device supports two-way audio functionality, allowing communication with client software, indoor stations, and main stations. This feature enhances communication capabilities for access control scenarios.
