After you have configured the ID Scanner plugin, you can import cardholder or visitor information in Security Desk by scanning their driver's license or passport.

Procedure

  1. From the home page in Security Desk, open the Cardholder management or the Visitor management task.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To create a new cardholder or visitor, click Create new cardholder/visitor ().
    • To modify an existing cardholder or visitor, select the entity, and then click Modify ().
  3. In the cardholder or visitor configuration dialog box, click ID Scanner ().

    The ID Scanner dialog box opens. If you have connected the ID scanner, the message Waiting for document is shown.
  4. Scan the cardholder or visitor's document.
    With some card readers, you must scan both sides of the card separately.
    When the scan is complete, the default document fields that you selected to extract, and the document fields that you mapped to cardholder or visitor custom fields in Security Center are displayed.

  5. To use the document as the cardholder or visitor picture, drag the document to the Picture field.
    The Picture field uses the maximum picture size that is configured in Security Center. Optionally, you can crop the cardholder or visitor's picture from the cardholder or visitor configuration dialog box.
  6. If necessary, rotate the document in the Picture or Document fields.
  7. Click OK > Save and close.
