Impersonation Detection

Impersonation Detection compares random photos taken during the test with the initial candidate photo to detect whether a different person is taking the test. Learn more about this feature.

Enabling Impersonation Detection

Set impersonation: true in trackingOptions:

const proctoringOptions = {
    trackingOptions: {
        impersonation: true
    }
}

See Default Options for the full configuration reference.

When enabled, testTakerPhoto and photosAtRandom are automatically set to true.

How It Works

1. Initial Photo: A photo of the candidate is captured at the start of the test
2. Random Photos: Photos are captured at random intervals throughout the test
3. Comparison: Each random photo is compared to the initial photo using facial recognition
4. Detection: If a different face is detected, it is flagged as potential impersonation

Report

If impersonation is detected, the proctoring report shows:

• An alert banner indicating impersonation was detected
• Side-by-side comparison of the original and flagged photos
• Clickable thumbnails to view full-size images
