The device has two biometric devices:
- Fingerprint Sensor
- Face Recognition
Due to fingerprint scanner problems with Q704, I chose the Face Recognition as my primary biometric verification method.
Best Practices
- If you use eyeglasses, do not enable blink detection. The recognition may fail or become unreliable.
- Enable automatic screen lock by checking the Lock the session if I am no longer in front of this computer if you have the habit of leaving desk.
- Since the webcam wakes up and checks image periodically (blue led) for automatic screen lock, it drains the battery faster. Avoid it if you rely on your battery life.
Concerns
Face recognition is c00l. But how do I know whether someone is watching or not? I get uneasy whenever I see the blue led on…
