Auxiliary camera

This article explains what Auxiliary camera is and provides instructions on how to connect and set up an exam with it.

Auxiliary camera is connected through the user's smartphone and takes snapshots using the front camera at regular intervals of time.

Both the Webapp and Secure Browser support the secondary camera feature. Examinees scan a QR code with their smartphone, which then uses the front camera to offer an additional perspective of the test-taker during the exam.

The secondary camera can be configured to take photos every 30 seconds, or live video from the frontal camera of the smartphone.
