Quick Start Guide
Introduction
SAFR SCAN is a revolutionary touchless access control device that uses your face to
verify your identity. The incredibly fast and accurate SAFR lightweight algorithm runs
directly on the SAFR SCAN hardware for the utmost in reliability and security for your
enterprise needs. This device comes fully featured to allow you to connect directly to
any access control system via a Wiegand or OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol)
interface. Simply plug in the PoE (Power over Ethernet) network connection and you
are on your way to experiencing what SAFR SCAN offers.
How it works
SAFR SCAN integrates into your existing Physical Access Control System (PAC). SAFR SCAN is mounted next to the
door and connected to the PAC Panel via Wiegand or OSDP as shown in the graphic below.
SAFR SCAN sends the user credentials to the PACS Panel when a valid user appears at the door. The PACS Panel then
evaluates if the user should be granted access based on their access clearances and if so, unlocks the door. For
situations where a PACS Panel is not practical, SAFR SCAN can also unlock a door directly via the door latch Relay.
Users and their credentials are added to SAFR SCAN via the PACS software. As users and credentials are added or
updated in the PACS software, SAFR automatically updates the local database on each SAFR SCAN reader with the
latest user records to maintain synchronization with the PACS software.
In addition to the basic PACS integration, SAFR SCAN also supports the following:
• BLE reader to support Mobile Credentials
• Universal RF Card Reader
• 2-Way Audio (Intercom)
• Touch Screen to enable features such as Intercom and Keypad
• IR and white light projectors for low light environments
• Direct camera control for extreme back light environments

This section describes powering up and testing your SAFR SCAN reader.
Power up SAFR SCAN
1. Plug in PoE (IP Address will be displayed on screen as device boots).
2. Open SAFR SCAN Console at http://IP_ADDRESS
(where IP_ADDRESS is obtained from Step 1).
3. Click "Set Up System Login" when prompted and complete form. Then log in.
Test SAFR SCAN
