Setting up the API integration with your biometric machine for the first time is a crucial step to ensure seamless communication between your device and your server. This guide provides a comprehensive, step-by-step walkthrough to configure the server endpoint, link your biometric machine to the API, and validate the data flow. Whether you’re a developer…
Face recognition. Fingerprint scanning. Real-time sync. One powerful device, built for the modern workforce. Attendance management has long been a pain point for HR and operations teams – from buddy punching and manual timesheets to clunky standalone devices that don’t talk to your core systems. The Cams Hawking F38+, powered by the Cams Biometric Gateway, is built…
Most enterprise systems were not built to talk to each other. They were built to do a specific job, using the communication model that made sense at the time they were designed. Protocol adapter architecture is the engineering discipline that connects these worlds without rewriting either of them. This article explains what protocol adapters are,…
In a biometric attendance system, accurately identifying whether a punch is an IN or OUT entry is critical for ensuring proper attendance tracking. At Cams Biometrics, we offer flexible ways to determine the punch state—both at the hardware level and at the admin portal (API) level. This article explains how punch states are recorded, 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…
The requirement A client running a restricted room (e.g. a server room, vault, or lab) needed a simple but strict rule enforced at the door: Only one person may be inside the room at a time. The next person should not be let in until the current occupant has checked out. The Cams device handles…
Thousands of businesses rely on fingerprint scanners, face recognition terminals, and access control hardware that will hit end-of-life this year. When your manufacturer walks away, your attendance records, door access, and workforce data don’t have to be left behind. Here’s your practical roadmap. What “Discontinued Support” Means for Your Biometric System When a biometric device…
Automation engineers building n8n workflows hit the same wall eventually. Everything connects. The HRMS fires a webhook, Slack gets notified, the ERP updates, the IT ticket is raised. Then someone asks if the biometric access system can be included. And everything stops. This is not a configuration problem. It is an architectural one, and understanding…
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…
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…
