Recognition and Authentication Considerations
Face Recognition Distance:
•GV-FR Panel delivers optimal face recognition results when the faces of the targets are
within 1 meter (3 ft) of the GV-FR Panel.
Lighting Conditions:
•GV-FR Panel is designed for indoor use only. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as it
may affect its face recognition performance.
Face Recognition Limitations:
•GV-FR Panel may not be able to recognize faces wearing any type of masks or
sunglasses.
Detection Area of Cards, Tags / Fobs, QR Codes:
•When swiping cards, place them closely against the touch screen for optimal detection
effect.
•When swiping tags / fobs, place them closely against the text “NFC” on the touch
screen for optimal detection effect.
•When scanning QR codes, keep a distance of 10-15 cm (4-6 in) from the reader for
effective scanning.
