It combines flat-panel, millimeter wave technology with HF sensors to screen visitors for concealed metallic and non-metallic weapons, contraband and other items. Depending on the application, the visitor may be required to remove items, such as laptop bags, large backpacks and handbags for inspection. When instructed, the visitor proceeds through the Evolv Edge. The Evolv Edge scans the visitor during the entry zone, threshold, and exit zone. After the visitor has passed through all three areas, the Evolv Edge displays the scan results to the operator via indicators on the rear side of each tower. Alternatively, the tablet may be configured to display the results and photos from the scan.

Evolv Edge User Guide v1.1 Part Number: 500-00003 24 5 USING THE WATCHLIST The Watchlist is an optional feature of the Evolv Edge that uses facial recognition technology to determine if a visitor is a person of special interest or concern. The camera at the top of the Evolv Edge tower is used to capture an image of the visitor as they walk through the system. This image is compared to the images in the existing Watchlist database, and the results of the match are displayed on the Evolv Edge tablet. This process takes one second. GENERATING IMAGES FOR THE WATCHLIST DATABASE:
When creating a Watchlist database for your organization, the more images you have for each person, and the higher-quality the image, the better the detection and the higher confidence level of a match. It is ideal to capture up to nine images of each person you want to add to the database, with each image captured from a different angle. When taking photos of the person you want to add to the database:
Have the person stand against a neutral background that is free of shadows Eyes must be clearly visible The entire face of the person must be visible Have a neutral expression Glasses may be worn as long as the eyes are visible and there is no glare Do not wear a hat or head covering, unless worn for religious purposes Evolv Edge User Guide v1.1 25 Part Number: 500-00003 TO ADD A PERSON TO THE WATCHLIST DATABASE:
1. Generate images using the information above. 2. Connect the Watchlist USB to your PC and double-click on the watchlist directory. 3. Determine which directory you want to add your Watchlist images to, and create a folder for the images in that directory. For example:
watchlist\VIP\John_Smith. 4. Add the images to the folder. 5. Use the keys that are provided as part of the Evolv Edge to open the computer access door on the power tower. Evolv Edge User Guide v1.1 Part Number: 500-00003 26 6. Insert the Watchlist USB drive, and Watchlist dongle into the power tower of the Evolv Edge as shown. Watchlist Dongle Watchlist USB 7.
