Camera
Check-In a Visitor: Camera
Note: We recommend using the Logitech C925e for an optimal camera scanning experience in Visitor Management. You will need to allow camera access for “https://navigate360vm.com” in your browser settings. We also recommend Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, or Safari when using the Camera Scanning Method.

- Manual Check-in
- After retrieving the ID data from the camera, Visitor Management will check the visitor's First Name, Last Name, and Date of Birth for any potential matches on the national sex offender database.
- If a match is found, users will be prompted with a Possible Sex Offender Match pop-up displaying the info from the visitor's ID and the info from the potential match on the database. Users can then compare the info to decide if it is a True Match and deny entry, or decide it is a False Positive and remove the match from their Visitor Profile
