How do I upload a photo of an employee to be recognized by a biometric device?

  1. Prepare the photo

To ensure the photo works correctly for facial recognition, follow these requirements:

  • Clear, high-quality image.

  • Direct gaze at the camera (frontal view) with a neutral facial expression.

  • No headwear, sunglasses, masks, etc.

  • Good lighting without shadows on the face.

  • Only one face in the frame — no other people or objects.

  • Format: JPEG or PNG. File size: up to 5 MB.


2. Log in to the Clockster admin web panel

  1. Go to the Employees section.

  2. Find the required employee or add a new one.

  3. Click the employee’s name to open their profile.


3. Upload the photo

  1. In the employee’s profile, click the photo area (Face Photo – Biometric Devices).

  2. Select a file from your computer.

  3. Make sure the image uploads correctly.

  4. Save the changes.

After uploading, the system will automatically sync the photo with the biometric device if:

  • The device is connected to the internet,

  • It’s linked to the same location as the employee,

  • The correct Clockster server address is set in the device settings.


All done!
If everything is set up properly, the biometric device will start recognizing the employee within a few minutes.
