The authenticated reports option aims to generate reports in the system with a unique identification of authenticity. In this way, the reports generated by the software will contain a unique number along with a barcode, thus allowing subsequent search and access to the original report generated by the software.
Reports often need to be generated, whether from event logs, LPR, analytics, or even a printout of an image from video playback. Later, if the user wishes to check a report issued by the system, simply request the report using its barcode and the system will generate it again with the originally saved data, making it possible to compare it with an already printed report in order to confirm its authenticity.
To activate this feature, click on Report authentication as in the image below:
