Overview:
This guide explains how to enable AI facial recognition as an identity verification method during self-check-in. Please note that using the AI facial recognition feature requires an AirHost ONE [Premium] license.
Details:
Step 1: Set Up Check-In Devices
You need to specify which devices will be allowed for check-in.
Go to [Admin Console] → select your facility → [CheckIn Setting] → [CheckIn Flow] → [Can Checkin ?] and turn on the settings. Choose whether to allow check-ins only on site tablets, or if guest's smartphones are permitted for self-check-in, based on operational needs.
Step 2: Configure Guest Information Form
AI facial recognition at check-in will compare a photo from a domestic guest's ID or a selfie taken in advance, and for international guests, a passport photo with their face upon arrival. Therefore, you must enable the collection of the following two items in the guest information form:
Go to [Admin Console] → select your facility → [CheckIn Setting] → [CheckIn Flow] → [Fill in Guest Information]:
For domestic guests: Set 'ID or Selfie' as a mandatory field and save. For international guests: Set 'Copy of Your Passport' as a mandatory field and save.
Step 3: Set Check-In Confirmation Items
To configure items to be confirmed at check-in, follow these settings:
Go to [Admin Console] → select your facility → [CheckIn Setting] → [CheckIn Flow]
Enable [Additional Verification at Checkin] and click [Configure Additional Verification Form].
You will be directed to the page to configure ID verification details: Set 'Selfie at Property' as mandatory and save.
Step 4: Enable AI Facial Recognition
An on/off switch for AI facial recognition will appear.
Turn it on, set the threshold for authentication and check-in permissions, and save to complete the setup.
