Before you can use QR codes as a credential in Genetec ClearID™, you must configure Synergis™ to support the ClearID QR code custom card format. A QR code can then be used as a credential to access parking entrances, turnstiles, or gated facilities.
Before you begin
- Install the ClearID plugin
- Make sure that the Visitor Management module is activated in your Security Center Synergis License.
What you should know
The SDK and ClearID Plugin do not automatically create the custom card format for QR codes.
IMPORTANT: The
custom card format is found on the Security Center
machine where the ClearID plugin is
installed.
Procedure
-
In Config Tool, open the Access
control task and select the General settings
view.
-
In the Custom card formats section of
Credentials, click Add an item (
).
-
In the Custom card format editor dialog, click
Import.
IMPORTANT: You must import the custom card format on the machine where the ClearID plugin is installed. The card format type that is used during import is Wiegand format. -
Navigate to and select the QR code xml file.
You can find the QR code xml file in the installation folder:C:\Program Files (x86)\Genetec Inc\Genetec Security Center Plugins - ClearID\CustomCredentialFormats\QRCode.xml.NOTE: The location of the QRCode.xml file can vary depending on the location of your installation folder.

Click Open and click OK.
IMPORTANT: You must use this specific QRCode.xml file, because there is a GUID in the file that is required by the ClearID plugin.
