1 Instructions for Use
1.1 Distance, Facial Expression and Stand Pose
1. The recommended distance
Recommended horizontal distance from the user to the Face Recognition Camera is about 9 feet (3 m). This is
applied to height range of 5-6 feet (1.5~1.9m). Facial recognition can only take place in the specified ranges: left-to-right
distance is about 1.15 feet (0.35 m), and the front-to-rear distance is about 3.2 feet (1 m).The location of the face can be
adjusted based on the effect of the face image captured by the device. When the face image is in the upper part of the
video area, move the face forward. When the face image is in the lower part of the video area, move the face backward.
2. The recommended facial expression and several poor-effect facial expressions:
3. The recommded stand pose and several poor-effect stand poses:
Note: During the enrollment and verification process, please maintain normal facial expression and standing
posture.

1 Instruction for Use
1.2 Enrollment Pose
During the enrollment phase, display the face in the center of screen, as best you can. According to the prompts
appearing on the device’s screen, focus eyes in box. During face registration, you many need to move from back to
front to adjust the position of the eyes. The enrollment poses are as follows:

1.3 Verification Modes
1: N Facial Verification
The terminal compares the current face image collected by the camera with all face data stored in the terminal.
1. Place the face in the area where the camera can capture images. The device automatically distinguishes face
verification.
2. Compare the facial image properly. For details, see 1.1 The Distance, Facial Expression and Stand Pose. The device
displays the current image collected by the camera. An screen, as shown in Figure 1, will display.
3. If the verification is successful, the accepted screen will appear as shown in Figure 2 .
1: 1 Facial Verification Using the ID Card
When face recognition of a user is difficult, the user can place the ID card on the card reader to access the 1:1 face image
authentication mode. The system will compare the face image captured by the camera with the face image associated with
the ID card.
1. Place a registered ID card on the card reader.
2. After card authentication is passed, the system enters the 1:1 face image authentication mode. At this time, the face
image on the screen is highlighted and a prompt "1:1" is displayed, as shown in Figure 3.
3. Compare the facial images. For details, see 1.1 The Distance, Facial Expression and Stand Pose. The device displays
the current image collected by the camera. If accepted a new screen will be displayed as shown in Figure 4.

BIOCAM Series Products User Manual
2 Overview
2.1 Product Description
The BIOCAM series integrates the attendance system, access system, and IP camera (IPC). It also offers
attendance, access, and video surveillance functions. This series of products is configured with a LCD, remote
controller (to facilitate man-machine interaction and offline management), external peripheral Wiegand input, lock
control, door sensor, and display design to ensure that the device can independently complete all operations in
offline status, including extraction of human faces, comparing and identifying human faces, and registering
information.
Attendance Function
The BIOCAM series is a day/night embedded IPC that provides facial recognition-based attendance function. This
IPC is embedded with the high-speed face recognition algorithm. It can extract, compare, and identify the face of
whoever enters the video area of the camera in real time. The video area is 8-11 feet (2.5 m to 3.5 m) away from
the camera and is 6 ½ -8 feet (2 m to 2.5m) high.
Access Function
The BIOCAM series integrates the security surveillance system with the intelligent video analysis system at the
bottom layer. With the intelligent analysis technology, the BIOCAM series screens out key information from
massive video information and provides the information to the administrators for further analysis and judgment.
The embedded system mode not only improves the stability of the device, but also substantially reduces the cost
for implementing intelligent analysis. The front-end high-speed recognition algorithm can analyze and process
video streams on the device, which greatly reduces the system delay and enhances usability. After the BIOCAM
series is connected to a control access device, it can extract and compare human faces to determine whether the
door should be opened or closed and whether an alarm should be generated. The video surveillance function is
linked with the access control function to implement the lock control operations.
Video Surveillance Function
The BIOCAM series uses the mega-pixel CMOS sensor. The projection angle of the infrared lamp is wide, which
delivers outstanding night vision capability. The optimized H.264 coding algorithm ensures a clearer and smoother
video transmission effect. The embedded web server allows users to implement real-time monitoring and remote
control on the front-end camera by using an internet browser.
The BIOCAM series can be mounted on a wall or can be suspended. It is easy to install and convenient to operate.
It is suitable for indoor use. It can be used for all-weather monitoring and face recognition in, for example, offices
or banks where the video surveillance, attendance, and access control systems are integrated.
The following describes how the attendance, access control, and video surveillance functions of the BIOCAM
series are implemented. Please see Appendix 2 How to achieving Attendance, Access and IPC Surveillance
function.
2.2 Product Features
The mixed facial recognition algorithm features a large capacity and fast recognition speed.
The product integrates two high-resolution infrared and color cameras.
