Parameter Description Shutter Shutter is a component that allows light to pass for a determined period. The higher the shutter speed, the shorter the exposure time, and the darker the image. Gain When the gain value range is set, video quality will be improved. Exposure Compensation You can make a photo brighter or darker by adjusting exposure compensation value. 3D NR When 3D Noise Reduction (RD) is turned on, video noise can be reduced to ensure high definition videos.
Parameter Description ● Close: Back-light compensation is turned off. ● Backlight: Black-light compensation automatically brings more light to darker areas of an image when bright light shining from behind obscures it. ● Wide dynamic: The system dims bright areas and Backlight Mode compensates for dark areas to ensure to create a balance to improve the overall image quality.
Parameter Description You can set the exposure to adjust image brightness. ● Auto: The Time & Attendance automatically adjusts the brightness of images. ● Shutter Priority: The Access Terminal will adjust image brightness according to shutter exposure range. If the image brightness is not enough and the shutter value has reached its upper or lower limit, the Time & Attendance will adjust the Exposure Mode gain value automatically for ideal brightness level.

Appendix 1 Important Points of Face Registration Before Registration ● Glasses, hats, and beards might influence face recognition performance. ● Do not cover your eyebrows when wearing hats. ● Do not change your beard style greatly if you use the Time & Attendance; otherwise face recognition might fail. ● Keep your face clean.
Appendix Figure 1-1 Appropriate face position Requirements of Faces ● Make sure that the face is clean and forehead is not covered by hair. ● Do not wear glasses, hats, heavy beards, or other face ornaments that influence face image recording. ● With eyes open, without facial expressions, and make your face toward the center of camera. ● When recording your face or during face recognition, do not keep your face too close to or too far from the camera.
Appendix Figure 1-3 Face distance ● When importing face images through the management platform, make sure that image resolution is within the range 150 × 300 pixels–600 × 1200 pixels; image pixels are more than 500 × 500 pixels; image size is less than 100 KB, and image name and person ID are the same. ● Make sure that the face takes up more than 1/3 but no more than 2/3 of the whole image area, and the aspect ratio does not exceed 1:2.
Appendix 2 Cybersecurity Recommendations Mandatory actions to be taken for basic device network security: 1. Use Strong Passwords Please refer to the following suggestions to set passwords: The length should not be less than 8 characters. Include at least two types of characters; character types include upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols. Do not contain the account name or the account name in reverse order. Do not use continuous characters, such as 123, abc, etc.
SNMP: Choose SNMP v3, and set up strong encryption passwords and authentication passwords. SMTP: Choose TLS to access mailbox server. FTP: Choose SFTP, and set up strong passwords. AP hotspot: Choose WPA2-PSK encryption mode, and set up strong passwords. Audio and Video Encrypted Transmission If your audio and video data contents are very important or sensitive, we recommend that you use encrypted transmission function, to reduce the risk of audio and video data being stolen during transmission.
