For organizations with Premium and Enterprise software licenses and the Rules Engine, the VRP/VIRP can read QR codes and pass that information over webhook to any specified 3rd party system. This can allow systems that normally require a dedicated kiosk to scan their QR codes to do so at an entry, easily forwarding those details back into the system that originally generated and utilizes that QR code.
Enable QR Code Recognition
For the Video Reader Pro or Video Intercom Reader Pro to be able to pick up QR codes shown to them, an administrator will first need to enable this setting under the device's Video configuration page. By allowing this setting, the device will now be watching for QR codes in its view. The device will take no action until a specific set of actions is configured through the Rules Engine (requires a Premium/Enterprise software package).
To enable QR code recognition go to Devices > Video Reader or Video Intercom Readers > click on the device and select Video from the top nav bar and toggle the Enable QR code recognition
Rules Engine Configuration
The Rules Engine now has a Trigger Event available to the Video Reader Pro and Video Intercom Reader Pro devices called “QR Code Read”. This trigger will fire any time the camera of those devices recognizes a QR code in its field of vision.
Optionally a Condition may be added to specify that this event fires only when seen by a specific device in the Org.
The intended Action for use with this feature is a Webhook. The URL specified should point to a 3rd party system that is programmed to accept incoming webhooks from Atla Access and be able to parse the information provided to the system.
