Sample session of the Photo ID window

This sample session assumes that the Apollo equipment is used. Scenario: You need to track employee access at night and through particular doors equipped with card readers (and with video cameras for matching employee photos and people that use the card readers).  

Do the following:

  1. Use the templates editor to create a template and add to it the following objects (which you want to show in the Photo ID window):

    1. a field to show the photo assigned to the employee that attempts access (1)
    2. database fields (2)
    3. buttons for controlling actuators (3)
    4. a text field with a description (4)

    5. a field for showing video from the camera (5)

      Note:

       You may also create one template per reader. This will better illustrate the decision making done by the operator.

      Attention!

      In case of using the stratified architecture the template is to be located in the Intellect/Modules folder both in the Server and in all computers where the Photo ID module is in use.

  2. Configure the Photo ID window's events and actions.   Select the Invalid access level event and the Open door and Do not open door actions.   

    Note:

     Each device has its own set of supported actions, depending on the device's capabilities.  For example, if a device does not support the Do Not Open Door action, then you can use no action instead (that is, no action is sent to the device and the door will not open).
  3. After you do the steps 1 and 2 above, when a user uses a card that has an invalid access level, the operator's query pane will look as shown in the figure.

The lower part of the Photo ID window contains the operator action log (1). For each instance of attempted access, the log shows the data for the employee who attempted access, the query creation time and date, and the operator action status.  

The action status icons used and their meaning are as follows: 

  1. Access denied
  2.  Access granted
  3.  Waiting for an operator action
  4.  Past event
