AI Detections Setup

Step-by-step walkthrough for enabling and configuring AI detections in an assessment step's security settings.

Updated 2026/07/11

AI Detections is configured inside the step's security settings, alongside webcam recording. The configuration you set here applies to every session started from this step; existing sessions keep the settings they started with until you re-run with overrides.

  1. Open your assessment → Configure → select the step → security settings.
  2. Set Webcam recording to Photo or Video. Video unlocks audio checks (voice activity and muted microphone), incident duration tracking, and red-escalation of sustained behavior. Photo is lighter on bandwidth and cheaper per session.
  3. Toggle Auto cheating detection by A.I. on. The detection list appears: person count, face position, identity photo check, forbidden objects, and — for video — audio analysis with its muted-microphone and voice-activity children.
  4. Per detection, either keep System defaults (shown inline, e.g. 45° for face angle) or tick Customize values and enter your own thresholds. Face position additionally exposes the escalate to cheating block: the angle, gaze strength, and minimum sustained duration that turn a deviation from yellow to red.
  5. (Video only) Choose the analysis interval — how many seconds between sampled frames (10 is the default; lower means denser sampling and more thorough results). Leave Verify findings with a second pass on — the caption explains what turning it off costs: faster but rougher results, no incident durations, and no red-escalation for face position.
  6. Save the step. Settings apply to sessions started from now on.
