Enable the appropriate settings based on your operational requirements.

You can choose whether to:

  • Allow check-in only on an on-site tablet, or

Select the device options that match your check-in operation.


Setup Step 2: Enable AI Face Recognition

Then select: Additional Verification at Checkin (Identity Verification, Signature, etc.) → ✎ Edit

Turn the Enable toggle ON.

Select AI Face Recognition. The recognition threshold can be configured between 70% and 95%. If passing face recognition should be a mandatory requirement for check-in, select: If the face recognition does not pass, the guest will not be allowed to check in then save the settings.

When AI Face Recognition is enabled, the following fields are automatically added to the Guest Form and set as required fields:

  • Domestic guests: ID document or selfie photo

  • International guests: Passport photo

  • Provide guests with important instructions or guidance

  • Inform guests of any requirements or information in advance

When Identity Verification Fails with AI Face Recognition

If AI Face Recognition cannot verify the guest's identity, the following message is displayed: “The photo does not match the facial image.” The guest cannot proceed to the next screen until the verification is completed. This message appears when the pre-uploaded facial photo does not match the selfie taken at the property.

Possible reasons include:

  • The selfie was taken by someone other than the guest.

  • The guest's face was not correctly detected or recognized.
