How do I capture ID photos?

To capture ID photos and save to a person's record:

Note: The maximum image size is 80,000 bytes.

    Select Administration: People.

    Add a new person to the system or search for an existing person.

    Click the Photo ID tab.

    Select from the Badge drop-down the badge design you wish to use.

    Click the Photo ID button to display the Photo IDs pop-up window.

Note: If the window does not appear, turn off the pop-up blocker or add the Network Controller site to the allowed site list.

    In the Photo IDs window, click Capture Image to display the Select Image Source window.

    Select the appropriate image source for your camera.

For example, select Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32) if your are using a Logitech camera, or select Canon Live Capture if you are using a Canon camera.

    Click OK to display the Capture window for your camera.

    Ensure that the person is properly within the picture frame and is at least six feet away from the camera, and then click the capture button.

    Click OK to close the Capture window and redisplay the Photo IDs window with the image placed in the badge design.

    Confirm that the person's image is correctly captured and then click Save Image.

    The captured image appears on the Personal Information page. Click the Close button in the Photo IDs window.

    Scroll to the bottom of the Personal Information page and click Save.

Note: On the Personal Information page you can right click on the image and select Save Picture as. You can then save this image separately as a jpg or bmp file.
