Diagnose, Compact and Repair for Microsoft Access Database (TCMS V3 and Ingress MDB)

Friday, August 14, 2020 TimeTec 0 Comments



Introduction 
FingerTec offers 2 types of software which are known as the TCMS V3 - Time Attendance system and Ingress - Time Attendance & Access Control system respectively. Currently, TCMS V3 offers only 1 option to support the Microsoft Access (MDB) database whereas Ingress Software offers 2 options for the database type which are the MySQL and/or the Microsoft Access (MDB).

Most Ingress MySQL users would have already noticed that there is an application that needs to be run for the connection of the software with its database residing in the MySQL Server in their Ingress Server. Using this application, users will be able to connect, update, diagnose, and backup the database. 

Therefore, our team has developed a similar function in the software that uses the Microsoft Access (MDB), for instance, TCMS v3 and the Ingress MDB. If you are dealing with a huge backup database, you may consider applying the following steps to compact the data and reduce the size.

Diagnostic
This Diagnostic will be troubleshooting the database issues such as hangs, slow performance, memory fragmentation and etc. This will enhance the performance of the system and the database. 


Compact and Repair
Database files can grow quickly as you use them, sometimes might even disrupt the performance. They can also get corrupted or damaged occasionally. In order to reduce such situations, you may use the Compact and Repair to prevent or fix these problems. The compact process will not compress your data — the function of this process only makes your database file smaller by eliminating unused spaces. The Compact and Repair Database can also help to improve your database performances.


Example
The following is presenting one of the cases where the database size is too big. The users are facing a problem of a huge size of database when creating a backup database. In the case of an event whereby the users are required to conduct backup twice a month, the system storage will be taken up a lot more than expected.



By completing Compact and Repair, this will resize and reduce the database used spaces. However, the result depends on how much data has been stored inside the database. Once completed, you will be able to notice a difference whenever you make a backup again.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Smart AC1/SmartAC1-TD/Smart AC-FTD/FaceID 5/FaceID 5-TD/FaceID 5-FTD with AWDMS/Ingress

Wednesday, August 12, 2020 TimeTec 0 Comments


1. Can Ingress work well with these devices?
Yes, the Ingress version 4.0.1.x or above supports these devices via a middleware called AWDMS.

2. What are the PC specs to run both AWDMS and Ingress?
The PC specs required to run both AWDMS and Ingress are:
a) Windows 7 Professional/Ultimate or higher (64bit)
b) RAM: Minimum 8GB (Recommended 16GB)
c) CPU: i5 or better
Note: Please make sure that the operating system has applied the latest Windows patches, if Windows 7 is employed.

3. Can these devices install in open areas such as corridors or guardhouses?
No. These devices are strongly recommended to be used only indoors with room temperatures 28°C or below.

4. Which version of Windows Operating System have been successfully installed with AWDMS and Ingress?
Windows 7 Professional / Ultimate (64 bit)
Windows 8 Professional  (64 bit)
Windows 10 Professional  (64 bit)
Windows 10 Home  (64 bit)
Windows 10 Home / Single Language  (64 bit)

5. I have successfully enrolled a user’s face with Smart AC1-TD. However, the device seems to have difficulty verifying the user. How can I rectify this issue?
You may try to adjust the 1:N Match Threshold value, which can be found in Menu > System Settings > Face on the device. The optimal value is 70 - 88. The higher the value, the longer the time will take to verify a face. The recommended value is 75. You may adjust to a lower value to make the verification easier. Remember: you should NOT set any value below 70.In addition, you may also set the Minimum Face Size to 50. The default value of this setting is 80.

6. Smart AC1-TD was installed in a poor lighting environment which has affected the verification of users with darker skin. Are there any ways to solve this issue?
You may enable the Wide Dynamic Range or WDR of the device. To turn it on, go to Menu > System Settings > Face. Scroll all the way down to the bottom, click on WDR. The device will reboot once you turn on or turn off WDR feature.

7. Can Smart AC1 or other face recognition devices verify twins with identical face characteristics? If not, is there any other alternative way to verify them?
No, our face recognition devices cannot verify twins with identical face features. Apart from using face recognition, our built-in visible light face recognition devices support verification via password, fingerprint or palm. For extra precautionary measures to avoid cross infection during this pandemic period, it is recommended that we use palm as an alternative to verify for twins. To be exact, twins are not recommended to enroll face templates to perform verification.
