Create a consistent visitor record at arrival
Capture a supported credential at reception and return the available identity details to the registration already associated with the visit.
Visitor management and corporate security
Identity scanners for faster, more controlled visitor check-in.
Bring consistent ID and passport capture to reception desks, security stations and self-service kiosks, then return usable images and data to the visitor-management system your organization already runs.
Where identity capture fits in visitor management
A well-designed visitor process reduces typing at reception while giving security teams a repeatable source of identity evidence. Capture should connect naturally to registration, approval, badging and the final access decision.
Connect identity evidence to the security workflow
Let the visitor platform coordinate capture, host notification, policy checks and badge issuance without sending reception to another utility.
Support staffed and self-service entry points
Use the same capture foundation at reception desks, security stations and kiosks while the access-control system remains responsible for entry.
Capture once at arrival
Turn a presented ID into a consistent visitor record
Reception teams often lose time reading identity cards, typing names and document details, and correcting small errors while a line forms in the lobby. A purpose-built visitor-management ID scanner gives the check-in application a controlled image source instead of relying on a handheld photo or manual transcription.
Duplex-capable IDSnap models capture the front and back of a supported ID-1 card in one presentation. For international visitors, the GC2500 models can capture the passport photo data page, giving campuses and corporate facilities a practical path for both domestic and international credentials.
The scanner supplies images and available machine-readable data to the software workflow. The visitor-management system remains in control of registration, host notification, badge printing, screening or policy checks, and the final access decision.
Software-led check-in
Connect document capture to badges, hosts and access systems
Visitor management is not a standalone scan. The useful result is a registered guest, a notified host, an issued badge and a clear record of who entered the facility. IDSnap hardware is designed to be triggered by the software that coordinates those steps.
An attended reception application can initiate capture after the receptionist confirms the visit. A kiosk can guide the visitor through the same process without exposing a separate scanner utility. Returned images or extracted fields can populate the registration record and reduce repeated data entry.
Because the workflow stays application-driven, vendors and enterprise teams can preserve their own branding, approval rules, retention policies and access-control integrations. IDSnap provides the document-capture layer; the visitor platform determines what happens next.
From one lobby to many sites
Choose the scanner around the deployment model
A single staffed reception desk may be best served by a compact USB scanner connected to the existing workstation. Larger organizations may need the same check-in experience across headquarters, branch offices, warehouses and temporary reception areas.
The GC2500u adds advanced card and passport capture to a host-controlled workstation. The GC2500e moves device control into an embedded, network-connected appliance, making it attractive for centrally managed deployments and locations where a dedicated Windows PC at every scan station is undesirable.
For card-only processes, the IDSnap 2000, 850DX and 960CDX cover progressively deeper capture needs, ranging from compact simplex imaging to simultaneous duplex capture and multi-light evidence. The right choice depends on the credentials accepted, the physical evidence needed and where compute should live.
