Identification mode for Biometric Validation
Identification mode for biometric authentication allows employees to clock by only requiring an enrolled fingerprint and not a badge number. Having the option to clock in without a badge can save you the overhead of issuing and having to maintain badges. You can configure readers such that some employees can use biometrics while others can use a badge and PIN or badge only. Identification mode also supports Swipe & Go and Directionless swiping.
Verification mode for biometric authentication maintains the legacy implementation of requiring an enrolled fingerprint and a badge number (with optional PIN).
Both Identification and Verification mode can be used with the 8000-Series clock and applies to all types of supported biometric readers such as Smack Bio and Suprema. Both modes require that employees enroll a fingerprint on the clock and then use the fingerprint to validate themselves.
The following table outlines the template limits for both modes in the 8000 Series clock:
Smack Bio biometric reader | Suprema biometric reader | |
---|---|---|
# of templates in Verification Mode | Unlimited | Unlimited |
# of templates in Identification Mode | 3000 | 9050 |
