Guard Verification: Confirm a Visitor's Identity on Scan

Last updated on Jul 09, 2026

When a visitor is scanned at entry, security guards can instantly see stored identity details to verify the person before allowing entry. These details are shown to guards only — never on the visitor-facing kiosk — which keeps sensitive information private while giving your security team what they need.

Enable guard verification

  1. Go to Settings > Kiosk > Features > Guard Verification.
  2. Toggle it on.
  3. Select which identity fields the guard should see — for example ID card number, date of birth, stored photo, host, or purpose of visit.
  4. Save. The verification view is now available on the guard/gateway screen.

How the guard uses it

  1. On the Gateway / Guard dashboard, the guard scans the visitor's QR or smart card.
  2. A verification card appears showing the stored face photo alongside the identity fields you configured.
  3. The guard compares the person in front of them to the record and allows or denies entry.

This is the digital equivalent of checking an ID at the door — but faster, logged, and backed by the visitor's full history.

Best practices

  • Show the face photo plus one strong identifier (like ID number). Avoid overloading the guard with every field.
  • Guard verification pairs naturally with the entry signal (green ENTRY GRANTED / red DENIED) — see Badge Printing and Entry Signal.
  • All verification events are recorded in the audit trail, including which guard approved entry.
