Additional Facial Recognition Tips
Sometimes you will notice that the facial recognition feature does not capture the punch in/out. Here are some tips to improve your photos for seamless facial recognition use:
- Find a well-lit area
- Avoid shadows and light sources that cast harsh shadows
- Look straight ahead (not down) toward the camera
- Cast a neutral facial expression
- Look directly at your phone when taking the photo
- Keep your phone and head upright (Don't tilt your head left or right)
- Hold your phone vertically
- Avoid having other people in the background behind you
- Ensure your whole face is visible
- Look for backgrounds that have a significant contrast with the pigmentation of your face
- If your face changes significantly, you may need to talk to your service rep to update your reference photos (growing/removing facial hair, changing/adding/removing glasses)
- Ensure there is nothing between the camera and your face
- Remove headbands, hats, sunglasses, etc.
- Move any bangs/hair that may be covering parts of your face
