To set up users for clocking in on a timeclock with a facial recognition scanner, you will need to register their face templates.
Registering a facial recognition template requires interaction with both the timeclock and your uAttend account.
Follow these steps on your timeclock:
1. Press the Menu button.
2. Enter the default password (53178) if it has not been changed, then press OK.
3. From the menu, select the first option, User Management.
4. Press Add.
5. Enter an ID code for the facial recognition template and press OK.
We recommend using the employee’s birth date as an ID code. For example, a birth date of October 22, 1984 would be registered as “102284.” Each template must be assigned a unique code. Make note of the employee’s name and 6-digit code.
6. Follow the audio instructions.
NOTE: Please remove eyeglasses, as the scan will not work properly with them.
The instructions will direct you to “focus eyes inside the green box” three times as the cameras take photos.
7. Repeat the previous steps for each employee who will be using the timeclock.
Next, follow these steps from your uAttend account:
1. Click the Settings tab on the main menu.
2. Click the Clocking Management link.
3. Click the Assign Users link that appears next to the name of the timeclock that you used to register the facial recognition templates.
4. In the Face ID column, find the ID for the employee.
5. From the Employee Name drop-down menu, select the employee’s name.
6. Click Save.
7. Assign each facial recognition template to the appropriate employee.
The timeclock is now ready for registered employees to punch in and out using facial recognition.
