Authentication

Describes the supported authentication methods and authentication procedures.

Authentication mode​

Set the authentication mode. You can use face, fingerprint, PIN, card, and ID in combination as authentication modes, and you can also set the schedule for each authentication mode.

Info

Fingerprint authentication is only available on the FSF2-ODB product.

Registering auth mode​

  1. Press and authenticate with the Admin level credential.

  2. Press AUTHENTICATION → Auth Mode → .

  3. Select and choose the authentication method you want to use. To set an additional authentication method, select it in the same way and combine it.

  4. Set Schedule.

    Info

    • You can combine selected authentication methods to authenticate all in order or choose to authenticate only some of the selected methods. For example, when combined as + + , you must authenticate the card, face, and PIN; when combined as + / , you must authenticate the card and then enter the face or PIN.

    • Schedule can be set in BioStar X. If there is no schedule set, only Not Use and Always can be selected.

      • Wide Search: Deactivated

    • ToM Enrollment: By activating ToM Enrollment, you can enroll the Template on Mobile issued by BioStar X. Template on Mobile allows biometric authentication without storing user data on the BioStar X server, Airfob Portal, or device by storing the user's biometric template on a mobile access card.

      Info

      For more information about Template on Mobile, refer to the BioStar X Administrator Guide.

    • Store Visual Face Image: You can set to store both the actual images and templates in Visual Face, or to store only the templates without saving the actual images. If disabled, all stored images of visual faces will be deleted, and newly enrolled visual faces will store templates excluding images.

      Info

      After disabling this setting, use BioStar 2 v2.9.7 or higher.

    • Security Level: You can set the security level for 1:N authentication.

    • Operation Mode: You can set the operating mode of the device for face authentication.

      • Fusion Matching: Both visual and infrared matching work to increase the accuracy of face authentication.

      • Fast Matching: Users can perform rapid authentication while walking within the device's authentication range.

    • Fake Detection: You can prevent user authentication with spoofed faces such as photos. Activated when Operation Mode is set to Fusion Matching.

    • Advanced Settings: You can change advanced settings for face authentication, such as mask detection and thermal imaging camera functions.

      • Check Mode: You can set the confirmation mode according to the purpose.

      • Authentication Fail Sound: You can set the notification status for authentication failures due to no mask worn or exceeding the standard temperature.

      • Mask Detection: You can set whether to use mask detection.

        • Enabled (Hard): Users without masks will be denied authentication, and maskless events will be recorded in the logs.

        • Enabled (Soft): Users without masks can still authenticate, but a maskless event will be logged.

    • Thermal Camera: You can set whether to use the thermal camera.

      • Enabled (Hard): Users exceeding the standard temperature range will be denied authentication, and the event will be logged as exceeding the standard temperature.

      • Enabled (Soft): Users exceeding the standard temperature range can still authenticate, but the event will be logged as temperature exceeding the standard.

Info

  • When using Mask Detection or Thermal Camera, you can set Check Mode according to the device's purpose.

    • Check After Authentication: After authentication, check whether the user is wearing a mask or measure temperature.

    • Check Before Authentication: After checking whether the user is wearing a mask or measuring temperature, perform authentication. When using this mode, users without masks or exceeding the standard temperature cannot perform authentication.

    • Check Only: The device can only be used for checking whether a mask is worn or for measuring temperature. When using this mode, users wearing masks or below the standard temperature can enter regardless of authentication.

  • When Thermal Camera is set to Enabled, advanced setting options for thermal imaging cameras are activated.

    • Celsius/Fahrenheit: You can set the temperature display unit.

    • Low Threshold Temperature: You can set the minimum reference temperature to restrict access. Users with surface temperatures lower than Low Threshold Temperature will be denied authentication. Low Threshold Temperature can be set in the range of 1℃~45℃ and cannot be set higher than High Threshold Temperature.

    • High Threshold Temperature: You can set the maximum reference temperature to restrict access. Users with surface temperatures higher than High Threshold Temperature will be denied authentication. High Threshold Temperature can be set in the range of 1℃~45℃ and cannot be set lower than Low Threshold Temperature.

    • Save Temperature Data: You can set whether to save the user's temperature log. Using this option, both the success of authentication and the user's temperature value will be saved in the log; if not used, only the success of authentication will be logged.

    • Show Thermal Infrared Image: Set whether to display infrared video on the device screen.

    • Dynamic ROI: Set the device to automatically detect the area of interest (ROI) for measuring the user's temperature. For example, if there are other lights installed nearby, this option allows the thermal imaging camera to detect and measure the user's temperature instead of that lighting.

    • Camera Configuration: Set detailed options for the camera for accurate measurement.

  • When Thermal Camera is set to Enabled, you can set detailed options for the thermal imaging camera for accurate measurement according to the installation environment.

    • Distance(cm): Set the distance between the user and the thermal camera.

    • Emissivity: Set the infrared emissivity.

    • ROI X(%), ROI Y(%), ROI Width(%), ROI Height(%): You can set the ROI (Region of Interest) manually when Dynamic ROI is set to Not Use. Adjust the ROI location and size to specify the area where the thermal camera will measure temperature. ROI X(%) indicates the left and right positions of the region of interest, and the larger this value, the further the region moves to the right of the screen. ROI Y(%) indicates the top and bottom positions of the region of interest, and the larger this value, the further the region moves up. ROI Width(%) and ROI Height(%) indicate the size of the region of interest; as both values increase, the area for measuring temperature widens. For example, if the values of ROI X(%), ROI Y(%), ROI Width(%), ROI Height(%) are changed from default values to 40, 15, 70, 40 respectively, the region of interest will change as shown below.

    If the ROI is set to the default value

    ROI X(%), ROI Y(%), ROI width(%), ROI height(%)
    When the values are changed to 40, 15, 70, and 40, respectively

    • Skin Temperature Compensation: You can set the thermal imaging camera to correct the temperature autonomously, considering the environmental usage of the device and the surrounding temperature.

    • Skin Temperature Correction: Depending on the product usage environment, you can adjust the temperature measures to be increased or decreased by a constant value. For example, if the temperature reading is always measured 0.1℃ higher, set the temperature correction value to -0.1.

    • FW: If the thermal imaging camera is properly connected, the firmware version of that camera will be displayed.

  • For optimal performance, it is recommended to use default settings for the sub-options of Camera Configuration. The default values of each option are as follows:

    • Distance(cm): 100

    • Emissivity: 0.98

    • ROI X(%): 30

    • ROI Y(%): 25

    • ROI Width(%): 50

    • ROI Height(%): 55

    When using the ROI as the default setting, a yellow guide will be displayed in the ROI area of the screen during authentication as shown below. When the user's face is aligned within that area during authentication, accurate temperature measurements can be made. When manually changing the settings or using dynamic ROI, the yellow guide is not displayed.

    If the ROI is set to the default value

    When changing ROI settings or using dynamic ROI
