Steps

3) Take out the MCU by slightly pushing forward the cover clip from MCU and pull it out from the MCU.
4) Separate the LCD Screen from the MCU by slightly pushing the LCD screen bracket clip and carefully pull up the LCD screen bracket from the MCU. There you will find a LCD Flex cable connects to the MCU and that needs to be disconnect by slightly pulling the black clip toward the Flex cable (Please do not fully pull out the clip. Ensure the cable is just about loose from the connector) and then you may pull the cable out cautiously.

Introduction
The new version of Face ID 4 has been installed with a new version of coreboard (FMM). Some of the options or settings are different from the previous version. In this version, we have improved the registration process for face enrollment.
Steps
Face Enrollment
For users who wear glasses will need to register two face templates so that the facial recognition machine will be able to recognize them as the same user. In doing so, users do not need to register two IDs for the same user.
The first pop up green box is where users are required to align their glasses to the green box.
After the green box appears for the second time, users will need to remove their glasses until the process is completed.
Complete the rest of the enrollment process and do not forget to click save. The device will be able to recognise the users with or without the glasses after the completion of face enrollment.
Limit Face
Limit Face is a setting to let the machine detect automatically the facial features when a user approaches the Face ID. Limit Face’s default is “ON” implying that the user will need to select the clocking type such as Clock In or Clock Out before the machine detects a face to verify. By disabling the Limit Face option, the camera will automatically detect the face without selecting the clocking type. Follow the steps below to set the “Limit Face” feature:
Go to
Menu > System > Face
Download photo
There are options to download attendance and blacklist photos to monitor user activities.
Plug in
USB > Go to Menu > USB Manager > Download

Introduction
Most of the FingerTec terminals come with multiple verification
method, such as card verification, password verification, fingerprint
verification or face verification. The credentials of the users is very
important - The credentials of the users are
very important. Either verification for time attendance or door access, each user will have their own identification credentials,
where it can only be verified by the user alone. However, there are cases where
access card or password is being shared among
users, which leads to the issue of buddy- punching.
Benefits
Group verify type function will give the administrator an option
to perform verification using combination of credentials. Combination of
different credentials will give the administrator an advantage, to make sure
that users access to a door or record their attendance truthfully, without
cheating. Cases such as stolen cards or leaked passwords can be prevented if
this feature is activated, where users need to verify their different
credentials, in order for the log to be recorded, or to release the door lock.
