AI Detections Setup
Step-by-step walkthrough for enabling and configuring AI detections in an assessment step's security settings.
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.
- Open your assessment → Configure → select the step → security settings.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- (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.
- Save the step. Settings apply to sessions started from now on.
Stronger identity checking (optional)
Identity photo check compares the candidate's own webcam footage against the ID photo they capture at the start of the exam — no extra setup beyond enabling the detection above. If you want a stronger guarantee, upload a reference photo for the candidate under Candidates → edit candidate → Media. Once identity check is enabled here and the candidate has an accepted reference photo, the analysis automatically adds a one-time comparison of the exam's ID photo against that reference — no step configuration needed. See Candidates → Reference Photo for the upload flow.
