Notification

All Invixium Devices support the Audio feature in the form of a built-in speaker (All except MYCRO) or a multi-tone buzzer (IXM MYCRO). Audio feature is used for alerts and notification purposes. For example, if a Device is in an alarm state, then the audio file will be played. Hence the administrator will be notified about the events on the Device. Audio also guides the administrator and users during the authentication process.

IXM WEB allows users to enable or disable the Auto On feature for Secugen Sensors and Lumidigm Sensors when Presence Detect is activated. If a person comes near the IXM Device, it will automatically detect their presence and inform the system. Admins can define the action that takes place when presence is detected.

 

NOTE The Presence Detect feature is available on SENSE2, TOUCH2, TFACE, and TITAN series.

 

Following options will be displayed -

 

 

Presence Detect

Click on the box to enable or disable Presence Detect feature. A check mark in the box indicates the feature is enabled.

 

When presence is detected, the Device turns the sensor on and starts capturing an image. Using this feature, power and sensor life can be saved. The mercury sensor is always ON when the Device is in identification mode. When a mercury sensor is installed in an outdoor environment, it is continuously on and will get hot. To overcome this problem, Invixium has provided this feature. Enable the “Presence Detect” feature to detect the presence and turn the sensor ON only when a user is detected or else it will turn OFF.

 

The Presence Detect option is “ACTIVE” by default for IXM Devices. Un-check the box to set Presence Detect to “INACTIVE” to keep the sensor active at all times which will display a warning window -

 

 

NOTE Invixium recommends keeping the Presence Detect feature active.

 

You can also specify the range within which the user gets detected. There are four levels: Low, Medium, High, and Very High. Drag the bar as per your requirement.

 

Presence Detect Sensor Action:

When presence is detected, the Device turns the LCD / Fingerprint Sensor on. In idle cases, LCD / Fingerprint Sensor will be turned OFF. When a user comes closer to the INVIXIUM Device, it will turn ON the LCD / Fingerprint Sensor automatically. Using this feature, the life of the LCD / Fingerprint Sensor increases, and power is saved.

 

Click on the box to select the action when presence is detected from the dropdown list.

 

Selecting "Activate LCD" will activate the LCD only when presence is detected.

 

Selecting "Turn On Fingerprint Sensor" will activate Fingerprint Sensor only when presence is detected.

 

Selecting "Both" will activate LCD, Fingerprint Sensor, and Camera only when presence is detected. The Camera will be activated only in case of TITAN and TFACE Devices.

 

Camera Close Timeout (sec):

This option is visible for TITAN and TFACE Devices only.

 

Enter the time duration (5 to 120 seconds) up to which the camera should remain open after a presence is detected. The default timeout duration is 8 seconds. This feature maintains an optimal throughput, particularly during continuous multiple detections.

 

Once entered, click on APPLY button to save and apply the settings.

 

Click on RESET button to restore the original settings.

The External Push Notification feature allows the Device to integrate with a third party system by sending real time notifications. So, whenever any event occurs on a Device such as authentication, anti-shock alarms, door alarms, etc., the Device will send all events to the specified third party server in the form of HTML data.

 

Click on the switch to turn External Push Notification feature ON or OFF. Following options will be enabled when this feature is turned ON -

 

URL:

Enter the third party URL on which all Notifications have to be sent.

 

Entry Order:

Select the order in which the events in Transaction Logs will be sent from the Device to the specified third party server. By default "Descending" order is selected.

 

Select "Descending" if the events in Transaction Logs have to be sent in descending order.

 

Select "Ascending" if the events in Transaction Logs have to be sent in ascending order.

 

Once entered, click on APPLY button to save and apply the settings.
