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…
Connecting a biometric attendance device to any software platform — whether it is an ERP, HRMS, payroll system, access control application, or a custom built platform — requires communication through the Cams Biometrics Web API. Before deployment, you need to understand two things: how your device communicates, and what charges apply. How Device Communication Works…
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…
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…

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…
Biometric attendance systems are increasingly becoming essential for modern businesses seeking streamlined operations and enhanced security. The integration of ZKTeco biometric devices with cloud applications can be achieved smoothly using the Cams Biometrics API, which supports a variety of devices including those from ZKTeco. Cams Biometric Machines If you own biometric machines from Cams (listed…
The $50,000 Compatibility Crisis You spent $50,000 on ZKTeco devices… and now your software vendor says they’re “incompatible.” Do you really need to replace everything? Many HR and IT teams get stuck here. The hardware works perfectly, but it is offline, siloed, and unable to connect with modern cloud or ERP systems. The devices accurately…
When experiencing issues with a biometric device that restarts repeatedly, it is important to first assess the power supply, as it is a common culprit. The power adapter used must meet specific current ratings to ensure stable operation of the device. For standard attendance machines, a 12V-2A adapter is typically recommended, which provides sufficient power…
This page helps you configuring your biometric machines to connect with the web server. The following screens are taken from Cams biometric machines. Some of the machines of ZKTeco will also same as Cams machines. In the following examples we have shared has screens of two different versions. If you have different software than what…
