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…
If your device’s time settings are resetting upon restart, the issue might be with the internal button cell battery, specifically a CR1220 – 3V. This battery is crucial as it maintains the internal clock and preserves the time settings even when the device is powered off or restarted. To address this issue, you should replace…
Biometric machines are used to record employee attendance—but did you know that anyone can access the settings if the machine is not protected? This guide explains how to lock your biometric device menu so that only authorized admins can access it—while everyone else can still mark their attendance as usual. This feature is supported in almost all major brands, including: 🔐 What…
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…
A spoof attack in facial biometric systems occurs when someone attempts to trick the system using a false representation of a face, such as a photo, video, or a different substitute for an actual human face. This can lead to unauthorized access or fraudulent attendance records, impacting the security and accuracy of biometric data management….
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…
What if your factory floor, warehouse, or office could manage its own workforce access, attendance records, and security operations, around the clock, without a single manual intervention? That future is here. Cams Biometrics Gateway has connected Claude AI directly to your biometric infrastructure, and the results are redefining what’s possible in physical workforce management. A…
Enabling DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) in the device plays a crucial role in simplifying network configuration processes. When DHCP is enabled, the device automatically receives essential network parameters, including an IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS server address, without requiring manual intervention. Enabling DHCP offers several benefits, primarily revolving around convenience and efficiency….
Understanding Device Migration in Cams Biometrics Platform When working with biometric infrastructure, hardware failures are an inevitable reality. Understanding how to properly migrate your API license from a damaged device to a replacement unit is crucial for maintaining business continuity while ensuring compliance with the platform’s technical requirements. Technical Prerequisites for Migration Device Status Requirements…
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.
