1. Introduction
20face provides a contactless solution for office buildings using GDPR-proof facial recognition. This document provides an overview of the functionalities and also the steps required to connect 20face and iProtect.
2. Support and license
Below is an overview of support for both the hardware and the software, including the necessary license:
Support | Version | Maximum | License number |
---|---|---|---|
iProtect | >= 10.1.xx | 505-3101 online card reader license | |
Pluto | |||
20face IDbox | Max. 4 per Pluto | ||
Virtual card readers | Max. 8 per Pluto |
When using 20face, the 'calamity card' function cannot be used.
3. How does it work
In iProtect, the 20face facial recognition is handled like a card reader. As a result, most of the functions available for a physical card reader are also available for the 20face solution.
The connection between the Pluto and the 20face IDbox is based on the OSDP protocol via TCP/IP. The IDbox is created within iProtect as Node. Several card readers can be linked to the 20face node, where the card reader is the camera that sends an ID when it recognizes a face.
