Follow the instructions in the DoorBird App until the enrollment process is finished.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
- Do not roll or swipe the finger over the sensor. Try to touch the sensor with as much fingerprint pattern as possible.
- Try to position the finger in the same way as its position will be when using the sensor later for finger recognition.
- If a previously registered finger is not recognized, save it as an additional new finger (e.g. “right forefinger 1” and “right forefinger 2”).
- Fingerprint templates are only stored locally within the Fingerprint reader module and are not transferred into the main eletrical unit or into the Cloud.
HOW TO SOLVE RECOGNITION ISSUES
- Use the finger with the greatest possible contact (e.g. thumb) and clearest fingerprint pattern. Small fingers (e.g. children), fingers without structure or with scars and other injuries make recognition difficult.
- Clean/Dry the finger before using the reader. Dirt, wetness or skin folds on the fingertips reduce the recognition rate.
- Register several fingers per person. Injuries to the fingerprint could prevent the detection (e.g. torn skin, scars). Register the same finger for summer and winter.
- Various weather conditions (summer, winter, heat, cold …) could change the fingerprint and lead to nonrecognition. If a previously registered finger is not recognized, save it as an additional new finger (e.g. “right forefinger winter” and “right forefinger summer”).
