FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We would be happy to discuss your requirements and the possibilities of Photo Collect in an online meeting.

How can I use Photo Collect ?
Expand

Photo Collect is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution that we set up and operate for your company.

What license models does Photo Collect offer?
Expand

For customers with a volume of approx. 1000 photos or more, we recommend the dedicated Photo Collect Business instance.
The multi-client Photo Collect Cloud is suitable for smaller volumes. We will be happy to advise you on both options.

How is the setup process organized?
Expand

Parallel to the completion of the contract documents (we provide standard documents as a basis for the main contract and DPA ), we set up a test environment that is customized to your requirements. This allows you to test extensively and ensure that Photo Collect is available in the production environment almost immediately after signing the contract.

What support will I receive?
Expand

Our experienced team will support you throughout the entire process. From the legal aspects to the set-up and day-to-day business, we are there for you and can make adjustments to the process or parameters if necessary.

Can I integrate Photo Collect into my IT?
Expand

Yes, integration is optional. You can either import the personnel numbers from Excel into Photo Collect or use the app or the photo kiosk and get started straight away. The finished photos are downloaded as a ZIP file. If required, Photo Collect can be fully integrated into any system via the application programming interface (API).

Is Photo Collect compatible with access systems?
Expand

Photo Collect works independently of existing access systems. If required, Photo Collect can be integrated into an existing access or card management system.

Is integration into existing HR systems possible?
Expand

Yes, Photo Collect offers a REST API that enables seamless integration into existing systems.

What existing connections are there?
Expand

Various PIAM systems offer an interface to Photo Collect , e.g. Securigate from Securiton or OCMS from ID-ware. Other systems can be integrated via the API. There are also card manufacturers and printer systems that offer an interface to Photo Collect . We are happy to provide information.

Is there an application programming interface (API)?
Expand

All functions can be controlled via a REST API. We will be happy to advise you on implementation.

Will Photo Collect be adapted to my CI/CD?
Expand

Yes, the colors and logo are adapted to your corporate identity during setup.

Can the e-mail and SMS templates be customized?
Expand

Yes, all communication templates can be customized.

What photo formats are possible?
Expand

In addition to the standard format in the corporate sector (4:3) and the passport photo format (1:1 or 45:35), any aspect ratio can be configured. Photos with a round cut-out are also possible.

What requirements must the uploaded photo fulfill?
Expand

The photo should be a clear, frontal portrait without headgear or sunglasses. The background is automatically removed, so there are no special requirements for the shooting location.

Is it possible to upload group photos?
Expand

No, Photo Collect is designed for individual portraits. Group photos are recognized and rejected by the AI.

Do the photos meet ICAO standards?
Expand

Yes, the photos captured with Photo Collect meet the requirements of the ICAO standards, provided that manual quality control is used. The ICAO standards define international requirements for passport photos, especially for biometric ID cards such as passports.

Are the photos biometric?
Expand

Yes, you can choose whether the mouth must be closed or whether you can laugh in the photo.

Are the images processed with generative AI?
Expand

No, the faces remain unchanged. This is the only way the images meet the security requirements for photo ID.

Are users informed about faulty photos?
Expand

If the quality is insufficient, users receive immediate feedback and can upload a new photo. If necessary, a follow-up invitation is sent with the reason for rejection.

Which photo backgrounds are possible?
Expand

Either a color, a color gradient or a specific background image can be used as the background.

Can I use my own domain?
Expand

Photo Collect can be integrated via a subdomain of your company domain (e.g., photo.your-company.com). This builds trust and increases the open rate of links in emails and SMS messages.

Can I use my own e-mail server?
Expand

Yes, instead of the standard mail server, you can use your company's SMTP server to send emails.

Is hosting already included?
Expand

Photo Collect is Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Everything you need to run it is provided, including hosting, email server, and domain.

How long are the photos stored?
