Configure QR Code Authentication on ACTAtek4
QR Code Usage with ACTAtek Devices
A QR code functions like a digital password, allowing customers to use any ACTAtek device equipped with a built-in camera. For example, the ACTA4-1K-P-C (PIN model with built-in camera) supports QR code authentication without requiring the Facial Recognition or Smart Card models.
Generating a QR Code
To generate a QR code, log in to either the ACTAtek device or the AMS webpage. Enter any numeric or alphanumeric string to create the QR code. (See the attached file for examples.)
Note: For AMS or AMS SaaS, the QR code icon will only appear after a Smart Card number has been entered and saved.
Once generated, save the QR code as a JPEG file. You can then:
- Send it to the user’s mobile phone via WhatsApp or email, or
- Print it out for physical use.
Below is an example workflow for generating and using a QR code.
Workflow: Adding a QR Code User via Device Webpage
- Log in to the device’s [Add New User] or [View User List] page.
- Enter the user’s preferred QR code number (e.g., 20260119) or use an existing Smart Card number to generate the code.
- Enable the Smart Card status.
- Click Add or Modify to save the user’s QR code settings.
- Click Show QR Code.
- Right-click the displayed QR code to save it as a JPEG file. Transfer the JPEG to a mobile phone or print it out for device access.
When accessing the device with a QR code, the LCD will display “Please remove QR-Code” and simultaneously capture the user’s picture.
Notes
- Maintain at least 20 cm distance when scanning a QR code from a mobile device.
- For printed QR codes, ensure the size is exactly 3.5 cm × 3.5 cm.
