PC9000Photo ID Module Overview


2.0 PC9000 Photo ID Module OverviewThe PC9010-PID Photo ID Module adds the functionality of assigning photos to individual personnel recordswithin the database, visual verification of system users from Event Manager and Alarm Manager sections of thePC9000 and creation/printing of custom photo ID badges.

The three major functions of the Photo ID Module are:

• Photo ID - allows the importing and cropping of an image for each Personnel record. This will requireadequate storage space on your computer hard drive.

• Visual Verification - allows an operator to compare a person’s appearance with the image stored in thePersonnel database. When either an arming code is entered or a token or card is read, Visual Verificationdisplays their image in a popup window on the PC display screen. This is set in Event Manager by selectingthe Image Icon in the Event Manager menu bar. A display window appears. Selecting the Image Icon turnsVideo Verification off.

• Photo ID Badge Designer - The Badge Designer application allows the design and printing of credit cardsized access cards directly from the Personnel database. The ID Card Printing is done from the ID CardTemplate Design that also acts as a print preview screen.

The Photo ID module will allow an image to be cropped to 163 pixels wide by 173 pixels high bitmap (.BMP) orJPEG (.JPG) file and assign it to a personnel record.

2.1 RequirementsThe Photo ID module described in this guide is a purchased feature of the PC9000. Before any of thesefunctions can be utilized, the PC9010-PID upgrade must be ordered from the Bosch Security Order Processingdepartment at 800-538-5807.

You will require a method of capturing images, for example a digital camera, scanner or video-capture card. Thecapture media used for your system will need to be capable of saving the image as a bitmap (BMP) or JPEG(JPG) image.

The Digital Camera tested by Radionics Technical Support is:

• Sony® Digital Mavica, Model MVC-FD71.

To print ID cards you will need an ID card printer. The printer must have the ability to print to the thickness of theID Cards to be used. This can be any Windows compatible ID Card printer.

The ID Card Printer tested by Bosch Security Technical Support is:

• Magicard® Rio or Tango Printer (p/n MC-RIO-PRINTER and MC-TANGO-PRINT)

Note: A digital camera and an ID card printer may need permanent connections to your PC serial and parallel ports.Ensure that you have spare ports available for this purpose. If you do not then contact your computer supplierand have them installed.

With Photo ID installed, PC9000 can store a 163 (W) x 173 (H) pixel bitmap or JPEG image to every personnelrecord. Each image of this size requires 5Kb space on your computer hard disk. Larger JPEG and Bitmapimages that maintain the same aspect ratio can be imported into the PC9000 Photo folder requiring more harddrive space.

Notes:

PC9000Photo ID in Personnel Manager


3.0 Photo ID in Personnel ManagerThe Photo ID module will allow you to crop a 163 X 173 pixel bitmap or JPEG image to every personnel record.If you have the Photo ID module, then the ID Badging button will be displayed in the Personnel Managerapplication.

Note: In a multi-PC installation, once the images are added, they can be viewed on any PC-Workstation.

3.1 ID BadgingThe ID Badging facility in thePersonnel Manager module makes itpossible to create custom ID badgesby importing a picture from aconnected video source or a pre-existing photo and capturing theuser’s signature (optional) from aconnected graphics tablet or similardevice.

The imported image will also beused for the user’s photo throughoutthe Personnel Manager module.

An existing ID badge template hasbeen provided, but to create newtemplates, you will need to use theBadge Designer facility.

The following buttons are availablewith the ID Badging facility:

Input can be accepted from an attached tablet device. Thisbutton will save whatever is in the box and attach it under the user’s photo.

ClearSignature

This button will clear whatever is in the signature capture area.

Table 3: ID Badging Buttons



3.2 Creating/Capturing a Photo ImagePC9000 requires a BMP or JPG format image. The image can come from several sources:

• A digital camera.• A TWAIN compatible scanner.• Video capture device. (Ex. Flashbus PCI capture card)

Each of the above will be supplied with software and instructions. Contact the vendor if you have questionsregarding the setup and use of the capture media.

3.3 Assigning a Photo to a Database Record3.3.1 Loading a Photo Image

There are 2 primary ways to load an image:

• Freezing a live image from a video capture device.• Importing a photo from a graphic file.

3.3.1.1 Obtaining an image from a video capture device

1. Select the Live Video button (see Table 3 on page 9) to “freeze” a live image from a capture device.

3.3.1.2 Importing a pre-existing photo

1. From within the PC9000 application, select the personnel record you wish to assign a photo.

The images must be stored in the PROGRAM FILES\PC9000\DATA\GRAPHICS\PHOTOS folder.

2. Double-click on the picture in the personnel record. If nopicture has been associated with this record, you will see “NoPicture Available.” An Open Dialog Box will appear (SeeExample 1).

Example 1: Open Dialog to selectpicture

3. If the photo is the correct size, it will appear normal within the picture section ofthe personnel record.

Example 2:Correctly sized

3.4 Capturing a SignatureThe signature capture box is located below the photo image crop box. You will need to connect an MS mousecompatible signature pad.

Note: This may require an additional serial port.

Sign within the signature capture box then select Save Signature button. The signature will load into thePersonnel record under the saved Photo image.

3.5 Troubleshooting3.5.1 The colors are incorrect in my photos

If the colors are not correct on your photos then your computer may not be able to display the minimum of32,767 colors. Contact your computer supplier about improving the graphics performance of your computer.

PC9000Visual Verification


4.0 Visual VerificationVisual Verification is designed to display an image of the user when they try to access specific doors by apasscode and/or card/token. The PC9000 operator sees the photo from their personnel database record toconfirm the user’s appearance for visual confirmation before allowing entry.

4.1 Event ManagerWith the Picture Verification function in the Event Manager it is possible to display a photo automatically when auser-related event occurs. The photo displayed is the same one used for the user in the Personnel Managermodule.

To turn on the Photo Verification, follow the procedures below:

1. Select a user-related event fromthe Event Manager window (seeExample 7).

2. Click on the Photo Verificationicon (see Table 3 on page 9).

Example 7: Highlighting User-related event in Event Manager

3. A window will pop up showing thephoto for the user in the user-related event (see Example 8).

Anytime a user-related event isselected, a photo will bedisplayed.

The picture is the same picturethat is used in the personnelrecord in the Personnel Manager.

Example 8: Photo Verification appears for that event

Note: For real-time Visual Verification, the first line in Event Manager needs be highlighted. Otherwise, the photo maynot reflect the actual user creating the event.
