Authentication Methods
Caution
The available authentication methods depend on the specific device and modules connected.
RFID Card
One user can be assigned up to 2 RFID cards.
The identifier can be entered manually using the keypad or read by tapping the card onto a USB reader connected to the PC.
The identifier must be a hexadecimal number.
The minimum length of the identifier is 6 characters.
Only cards supported by the device can be used – the card type must be enabled in the module settings (see ).
Tip
You can read the identifier of an existing card from the log at . Load the new/unassigned card on the device and then copy its identifier (UUID) from the log. After adding the identifier to the RFID cards, the user can start using the card for authentication.
My2N
My2N – used for interconnection with the My2N app, which provides authentication via Bluetooth.
PIN Code / QR Code
The PIN code serves as a personal numeric access code, which the user enters on the device keypad or can be read by the device camera in the form of a QR code.
Caution
QR codes can only be read on the device internal camera.
The minimum length is 2 digits.
The code can only contain digits (0-9).
QR codes can only be used for PINs between 4 and 15 digits long.
If you use the Silent Alarm feature, we recommend creating even-numbered PINs.
Note
When a hexadecimal QR code is used, the value must be converted to the decimal format before entering.
Accepted hexadecimal range: 1000 to FFFFFFFF.
Fingerprint
Each user can enroll up to 2 fingerprints.Use an external fingerprint reader for enrollment. Make sure you have installed the 2N USB Driver. The driver can be downloaded here.
The enrolled user fingerprint can be used for the following actions:
Open the door;
Trigger silent alarm – can only be set if the Open door function is active;
F1 and F2 automation – generates the FingerEntered event in Automation. F1 and F2 help distinguish the scanned finger in Automation.
License Plate
Some devices support vehicle license plate recognition using external AXIS cameras equipped with the VaxALPR add-on application. The recognized license plates are sent in an HTTP request to the api/lpr/licenseplate endpoint (refer to the HTTP API Manual for IP Intercoms for more details).
Tip
The external camera adding procedure is described in ???.
License Plate – set the vehicle license plate to be scanned by the device and used for user authentication.
The maximum length of one number plate is 10 characters.
Up to 20 license plates can be assigned to one user.
Each license plate should be assigned to only one user – if multiple assignments are made, the first record found is used.
The license plates are used in the recognition function from the external camera image (refer to the Interoperability Manual).
Virtual Card
The virtual card helps identify a user in the devices connected via the Wiegand interface. After successful user authentication via My2N or a biometric reader, the virtual card ID is sent to the Wiegand interface (if sending identifiers is enabled in the configuration, see ).
The ID must be a hexadecimal number (characters 0-9, A-F).
The length of the ID is 6 to 32 characters.
One user can be assigned just one virtual card.
Switch Code
Switch Code – set up to 4 switch activation codes (e.g. for the door lock). The switch code is used for door unlocking via the device keypad even as a DTMF code.
