Two options are available for recording the webcam of the test-taker: taking photos or creating a video recording.

Taking photos

Photos are taken automatically at set intervals.

Video recording

The webcam is captured in video format.

Real-time monitoring of the webcams

The real-time monitoring panel provides access to all recorded materials as they happen. This enables you to observe the webcams of the test-takers while they are undergoing the test.

Reviewing all the recordings once the testing has finished

The recorded materials can be reviewed after the test sessions have been concluded. You have the ability to simultaneously view webcam recordings of multiple test-takers, regardless of whether the tests were conducted at different times.

Automated cheating detection powered by AI-supported algorithms

All recorded materials can be analyzed using AI-powered algorithms to detect any instances of cheating. You have the ability to control the extent of the analysis, such as counting the number of faces present, monitoring the position of faces, and verifying that the same individual is taking the test throughout the duration of the testing.
