The purpose of the authenticated reports option is 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, allowing subsequent search and access to the original report generated by the software.
Often, reports need to be generated, be they event logs, LPR, analytics or even a printout of a video playback image. Subsequently, if the user wishes to verify a report issued by the system, all they have to do is request the report using its barcode, and the system will generate it again with the data originally saved, making it possible to compare it with a report that has already been printed in order to confirm its authenticity.
To learn how to activate this feature, see the Administration Client Manual. The administrator will have the option of choosing which types of system reports will generate the authenticity code.
Once the feature has been activated for the desired reports, we will see that the generated reports will come with a unique barcode number.
To illustrate this feature, we will generate an analytics report. To learn about analytics, see the chapter Analytics Records.

When you click Print, if the Authenticated Reports feature is activated for this report, a new field with the authentication code will be displayed:
This number is unique and will be used to search for the original report later if necessary.
The generated report also contains the authentication code and the barcode that represents it:
