Figure 2-5 Create shifts
Table 2-3 Shift parameters description
Shift Name Enter the name of the shift.
Period 1 Specify a time range when people can clock in and clock out for
the workday.
If you only set one attendance period, employees need to clock
in and out by the designated times to avoid an anomaly
appearing on their attendance record. For example, if you set
Period 2 08:00 to 17:00, employees must clock in by 08:00 and clock out
from 17:00 onwards.
If you set 2 attendance periods, the 2 periods cannot overlap.
Employees need to clock in and clock out for both periods.
Employees who clock in or out during the defined period will be

Overtime Period
considered as working beyond their normal work hours.
Limit for Arriving Late (min) A certain amount of time can be granted to employees to allow
them to clock in a bit late and clock out a bit early. For example,
if the regular time to clock in is 08:00, the tolerance period can
Limit for Leaving Early (min) be set as 5 minutes for employees who arrive by 08:05 to not be
considered as late.
● When the time interval between 2 periods is an even number, you can divide the time
interval by 2, and assign the first half of the interval to the first period, which will be
the clock out time. The second half of the interval should be assigned to the second
period as the clock in time.
8
Figure 2-6 Time interval (Even number)
For example: If the interval is 120 minutes, then the clock-out time for period 1 is from
12:00 to 12:59, and the clock-in time for period 2 is from 13:00 to 14:00.
If a person clocks out multiple times during period 1, the latest time will be valid, and if
they clock in multiple times during period 2, the earliest time will be valid.
● When the time interval between 2 periods is an odd number, the smallest portion of
the interval will be assigned to the first period, which will be the clock out time. The
largest portion of the interval will be assigned to the second period as the clock in
time.
Figure 2-7 Time interval (even number)
11:55 to 12:57, and the clock-in time for period 2 is from 12:58 to 14:00. Period 1 has 62
minutes, and period 2 has 63 minutes.
All attendance times are precise down to the second. For example, if the normal clock-in
time is set to 8:05 AM, the employee who clocks in at 8:05:59 AM will not be considered as
arriving late. But, the employee that arrives at 8:06 AM will be marked as late by 1 minute.

means higher accuracy and lower false recognition rate.
Face Recognition Threshold
When the threshold is too low such as 0, the false recognition rate
will be extremely high. Please be advised.
Set the largest angle that a face can be posed in for face detection.
Max Face Recognition Angle The larger the value, the larger the range for the face angle. If the
Deviation angle a face is positioned in is not within the defined range, it
might not be detected properly.
A certain number of pixels are required between the eyes for
recognition to be successful. The default number is 45 pixels. This
Pupillary Distance number changes based on the size of the face and the distance
between the face and the lens. If an adult is 1.5 meters away from
the lens, the pupillary distance is usually 50 - 70 px.
When the same face remains in front of the lens after the first
Valid Face Interval (sec) successful recognition, the Device will perform recognition again

Period 1 Specify a time range when people can clock in and clock out for
the workday.
If you only set one attendance period, employees need to clock
in and out by the designated times to avoid an anomaly
appearing on their attendance record. For example, if you set
Period 2 08:00 to 17:00, employees must clock in by 08:00 and clock out
from 17:00 onwards.
If you set 2 attendance periods, the 2 periods cannot overlap.
Employees need to clock in and clock out for both periods.
Employees who clock in or out during the defined period will be

Overtime Period
considered as working beyond their normal work hours.
Limit for Arriving Late (min) A certain amount of time can be granted to employees to allow
them to clock in a bit late and clock out a bit early. For example,
if the regular time to clock in is 08:00, the tolerance period can
Limit for Leaving Early (min) be set as 5 minutes for employees who arrive by 08:05 to not be
considered as late.
● When the time interval between 2 periods is an even number, you can divide the time
interval by 2, and assign the first half of the interval to the first period, which will be
the clock out time. The second half of the interval should be assigned to the second
period as the clock in time.
12:00 to 12:59, and the clock-in time for period 2 is from 13:00 to 14:00.
● When the time interval between 2 periods is an odd number, the smallest portion of
the interval will be assigned to the first period, which will be the clock out time. The
largest portion of the interval will be assigned to the second period as the clock in
time.
35
11:55 to 12:57, and the clock-in time for period 2 is from 12:58 to 14:00. Period 1 has 62
minutes, and period 2 has 63 minutes.
All attendance times are precise down to the second. For example, if the normal clock-in
time is set to 8:05 AM, the employee who clocks in at 8:05:59 AM will not be considered as
arriving late. But, the employee that arrives at 8:06 AM will be marked as late by 1 minute.

It is recommended that you enable HTTPS to access web services through secure channels.
2. Encrypted transmission of audio and video
If your audio and video data contents are very important or sensitive, it is recommended to use
encrypted transmission function in order to reduce the risk of your audio and video data being
eavesdropped during transmission.
3. Turn off non-essential services and use safe mode
If not needed, it is recommended to turn off some services such as SSH, SNMP, SMTP, UPnP, AP
hotspot etc., to reduce the attack surfaces.
If necessary, it is highly recommended to choose safe modes, including but not limited to the
following services:
● SNMP: Choose SNMP v3, and set up strong encryption and authentication passwords.
● SMTP: Choose TLS to access mailbox server.
● FTP: Choose SFTP, and set up complex passwords.
● AP hotspot: Choose WPA2-PSK encryption mode, and set up complex passwords.
4. Change HTTP and other default service ports

It is recommended that you change the default port of HTTP and other services to any port
between 1024 and 65535 to reduce the risk of being guessed by threat actors.

Network Configuration
1. Enable Allow list

It is recommended that you turn on the allow list function, and only allow IP in the allow list to
access the device. Therefore, please be sure to add your computer IP address and supporting
device IP address to the allow list.
2. MAC address binding
It is recommended that you bind the IP address of the gateway to the MAC address on the
device to reduce the risk of ARP spoofing.
3. Build a secure network environment
In order to better ensure the security of devices and reduce potential cyber risks, the following
are recommended:
● Disable the port mapping function of the router to avoid direct access to the intranet devices
from external network;
● According to the actual network needs, partition the network: if there is no communication
demand between the two subnets, it is recommended to use VLAN, gateway and other
methods to partition the network to achieve network isolation;
● Stablish 802.1x access authentication system to reduce the risk of illegal terminal access to
the private network.
Security Auditing
1. Check online users

It is recommended to check online users regularly to identify illegal users.
2. Check device log
By viewing logs, you can learn about the IP addresses that attempt to log in to the device and
key operations of the logged users.
3. Configure network log
Due to the limited storage capacity of devices, the stored log is limited. If you need to save the
log for a long time, it is recommended to enable the network log function to ensure that the
critical logs are synchronized to the network log server for tracing.
Software Security
1. Update firmware in time

According to the industry standard operating specifications, the firmware of devices needs to be
updated to the latest version in time in order to ensure that the device has the latest functions
and security. If the device is connected to the public network, it is recommended to enable the
online upgrade automatic detection function, so as to obtain the firmware update information
released by the manufacturer in a timely manner.
2. Update client software in time
It is recommended to download and use the latest client software.
Physical Protection
It is recommended that you carry out physical protection for devices (especially storage devices),
such as placing the device in a dedicated machine room and cabinet, and having access control
93
and key management in place to prevent unauthorized personnel from damaging hardware and
other peripheral equipment (e.g. USB flash disk, serial port).
