5 FAQ 1 2 3 4 5 6 The access controller fails to start after power-on. Check whether the 12V power supply is correctly connected, and whether the power button is pressed. Faces cannot be recognized after the access controller powers on. Make sure that Face is selected in the unlock mode. See “3.8.2 Unlock”. Make sure that Face is selected as unlock mode in Access > Unlock Mode > Group Combination. See “3.8.2.3 Group Combination”.
Notes of Temperature Monitoring Warm up the temperature monitoring unit for more than 20 minutes after power-on to enable the temperature monitoring unit to reach thermal equilibrium. Install the temperature monitoring unit in an indoor windless environment, and maintain the indoor ambient temperature at 15°C to 32°C. Avoid direct sunlight on the temperature monitoring unit. Avoid installing the temperature monitoring unit facing at the light source and glass.
Notes of Face Recording/Comparison 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 will use the device; otherwise face recognition might fail. Keep your face clean.
Do not shake your head or body, otherwise the registration might fail. Avoid two faces appear in the capture frame at the same time. Face Position If your face is not at the appropriate position, face recognition effect might be influenced. Appendix Figure 2-2 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.
too far from the camera. Appendix Figure 2-3 Head position Appendix Figure 2-4 Face distance When importing face images through the management platform, make sure that image resolution is within the range 150 × 300–600 × 1200; image pixels are more than 500 × 500; image size is less than 75 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.
Cybersecurity Recommendations Cybersecurity is more than just a buzzword: it’s something that pertains to every device that is connected to the internet. IP video surveillance is not immune to cyber risks, but taking basic steps toward protecting and strengthening networks and networked appliances will make them less susceptible to attacks. Below are some tips and recommendations on how to create a more secured security system. Mandatory actions to be taken for basic device network security: 1.
6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. We suggest you to change default HTTP and other service ports into any set of numbers between 1024~65535, reducing the risk of outsiders being able to guess which ports you are using. Enable HTTPS We suggest you to enable HTTPS, so that you visit Web service through a secure communication channel. MAC Address Binding We recommend you to bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway to the device, thus reducing the risk of ARP spoofing.
Enable IP/MAC address filtering function to limit the range of hosts allowed to access the device.
