Visitor Database

The visitor database contains dossiers on the unwanted visitors and VIP guests. A dossier has to contain one or several photos of a visitor and belong to a certain classification list (watch list), black or white in the simplest case. You can create several watch lists, subject to a visitor status or hazard level.

Tip

To create dossiers in bulk, use the batch photo upload functionality.

    To avoid merging the 3 words into one, use underscore or another symbol in the prefix and postfix.
