3. Setup u Installazzjoni
The Fanvil i68 is designed for straightforward installation, supporting various connectivity options.
3.1. Immuntar
Given its IP66/IK07 rating, the i68 is suitable for outdoor installation. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and provides adequate protection from direct impact, though the device itself is impact-resistant. Follow the included mounting template for precise drilling and secure attachment.
3.2. Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija u tan-Netwerk
The i68 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by delivering both power and network connectivity through a single Ethernet cable. Connect a standard Ethernet cable from a PoE-enabled switch or injector to the PoE port on the i68.
Alternatively, the device can be powered via a separate power adapter (not included, check specifications for voltage requirements) and connected to a network via a standard Ethernet cable or Wi-Fi.
3.3. Konfigurazzjoni Inizjali
Upon first boot, the device will initialize. Access the device's web interface via its IP address (which can be found on the device screen or through a network scanner) to perform initial SIP account registration, network settings (Wi-Fi configuration if not using PoE Ethernet), and basic access control setup.
- Reġistrazzjoni tas-SIP: Configure your SIP server details, user ID, and password to enable voice and video communication.
- Issettjar tan-Netwerk: Set up static IP or DHCP, and configure Wi-Fi if desired.
- Ħin u Data: Ensure correct time zone and synchronization for accurate logging.
4. Operazzjoni
The Fanvil i68 offers multiple methods for access control and communication.
4.1. Face Recognition Access
To use face recognition, stand directly in front of the device's camera. The i68 will automatically detect and authenticate your face. Ensure your face is clearly visible and not obstructed. The device can authenticate users in under 1 second, even in low-light conditions.
- Iskrizzjoni: Users must be enrolled in the system's facial database by an administrator.
- Distanza Ottimali: Maintain an optimal distance (typically 0.5 to 1 meter) from the camera for best recognition results.
4.2. RFID Card Access
Present your registered RFID card to the card reader area on the device. The i68 will read the card and grant access if it is authorized.
- Card Enrollment: RFID cards must be registered with the system by an administrator.
- Pjazzament: Swipe or tap the card in the designated card reader area, usually indicated on the screen or device body.
4.3. PIN Code Access
On the touchscreen, select the PIN option. Enter your unique numeric PIN code using the on-screen keypad. Press the enter or unlock icon to submit the code.
- PIN Management: PIN codes are assigned and managed by the system administrator.
- Sigurtà: Avoid sharing your PIN code and change it periodically if allowed.
4.4. QR Code Access
If enabled, present a valid QR code to the device's camera. The i68 will scan the QR code and grant access based on its validity and permissions.
- QR Code Generation: QR codes are typically generated by the system for temporary or visitor access.
4.5. Video Communication
The i68 allows for real-time HD video communication. When a visitor initiates a call, the video feed will be transmitted to the designated indoor monitor or mobile application (e.g., Fanvil Link App). Users can view the visitor and communicate before granting access.
