Connectivity Setup: Wired Connection (LAN): For a wired connection, securely insert one end of the LAN wire into the designated port on your biometric device. Connect the opposite end of the LAN wire to an available LAN port on your router or network switch. This establishes a direct and stable connection to your network infrastructure,…
Overview: Understanding Biometric Device Connectivity Challenges Biometric attendance systems and access control devices operate across diverse environments with varying network infrastructures, connectivity capabilities, and security requirements. Organizations face a critical challenge: how to integrate biometric devices—whether fingerprint scanners, face recognition terminals, iris scanners, or palm vein readers—into their existing HRMS (Human Resource Management Systems), ERP…
Most organizations don’t struggle with biometric devices. They struggle with making them work together. Here’s the solution. The Real Problem with Biometric Systems Today Walk into any enterprise today and you’ll find biometric devices installed at every entry point: face scanners, fingerprint readers, card swipe terminals. On the surface, it looks connected. But beneath it,…
Introduction Managing biometric access for employees across multiple branches is a common challenge for enterprises. When employees are temporarily transferred to another location, most biometric systems require them to be re-enrolled, causing inefficiencies and administrative burden. Cams Biometrics addresses this issue with its two-way API communication, allowing employee data to be pushed to specific devices,…
What is a Callback URL? A callback URL, frequently referred to as a webhook, is a URL on your server configured to receive data automatically from external sources. This functionality allows your system to process incoming data in real-time as events occur within the external service, facilitating immediate responses and actions. Generating a Callback URL:…
One touch. Instant trust. Your identity, verified in seconds, and synced to your HR system automatically. “What if your attendance system could verify identity, push punch data to your HR software, and eliminate manual exports, all in real time, with a single touch?” Modern workplaces demand more than a swipe card or a PIN. They…
When a biometric attendance device consistently shows an offline status despite a stable internet connection, there are two primary areas to investigate: Addressing these issues involves a systematic approach to determine whether the cause is related to the device or the network, thereby enabling effective resolution of connectivity problems. This kind of targeted troubleshooting is…
All charges are applied per device — regardless of whether multiple devices share the same server, the same local machine, or the same hybrid connector installation. 1. API Activation & Yearly License — required for every device Every biometric device communicating through our gateway requires an active API. This involves two distinct charges. API Activation…
Most enterprise networks block biometric deployments before they even start not because of the device, but because of the network. Here’s how Universal Deployment solves that, for good. Your biometric attendance system is ready. Your HR software is waiting. But IT keeps saying no because the network won’t cooperate. Sound familiar? The problem isn’t your…
Before pushing your integration to production, you can test Cams API callbacks directly on your development machine using a tunneling tool. This guide walks you through a step-by-step setup. Why you need a tunnel Callback and webhook requests originate from the Cams platform over the internet. A local application running on your machine cannot receive…
This guide is designed for end users, technicians, and IT admins using Cams biometric attendance systems. It covers commonly encountered messages, how to access key device menus, and which features you can configure directly on the device. Each section explains what the feature or error means, how it behaves, and how to adjust it all…
