Receptio

Intercom systems are, generally speaking, specialized hardware devices that allow one to record all incoming visitors accurately. However, digital tools can also be employed to maintain logs of all guest entries into a personal or business building. Receptio is just one such application that must be used in conjunction with a web camera to identify all incoming visitors.

The intuitive application is very easy to set up, as users need nothing more than a valid web camera. What's more, commercial users can customize the appearance of the login screen with various fonts, as well as specific logo files.

In essence, the tool requires one to define the employee directory, a listing that will further be used when visitors seek to gain entry into the building. Employee data includes personal information, as well as an email address that will be used for notification purposes.

After a web camera has been connected to the computer, visitors can sign in by specifying the employee they are looking to visit and clicking on the picture to record an identification image; all the saved details are then sent to the target via email and the application also supports motion and face detection.

Most of the interface elements can be customized to suit any business, including text box messages or the on-screen notifications. A visitor log is also kept and guest badges can be printed if a Brother QL series label printer with DK1202 Labels (2.4" x 3.9") is available.

To conclude, Receptio is an elegant solution for managing visitors and guests. When connected to a web camera, the program allows users to record all temporary visits, complete with support for output customized printed badges.
