If you have both eachimage filename is stamped with the same time. You can tag yourkiosk files with a specific identity to help keep files unique. Youcan also activate face detection so that only those images thatthey system thinks have faces in will be saved for upload.** Face detection depends on underlying Android OS and thehardware used. **Upload ImagesCaptured images can be FTP’d to a server, once complete they areremoved from local storage to free up space. The target FTP pathcan also be specified.Remote LoadOn boot Kiosk Browser SE will check for a local configurationfile and then optionally a remote one. The local configuration filecan be automatically deleted once loaded so can be used for initialprovisioning.
