Ministry lead and pastor
8 min read
Church Operator Guide
For ushers, ministry leads, pastors, and camera techs. No technical background is required.
This copy is a Scalable MVP in Simulation Mode. The yellow banner on every signed-in screen is there on purpose.
TempleVault remains the church record for people, events, and (after a successful push) attendance. IntelliScan101 stores face templates and local attendance events only. It does not become a second membership database.
Sign In
- Open the attendance address you were given for this campus.
- Choose Usher, Ministry Lead, Pastor / Admin, or Camera Tech. Click Open Attendance.
- Use the password you were given.
- Click Sign Out when you leave a shared desk. Ushers are signed out after 30 minutes idle. Other church roles after 2 hours, unless Admin changes it.
Usher: Ordinary Service
- The home screen is Attendance.
- Start a service before anyone is recognised. On Attendance, click Start This Service on the TempleVault gathering. You can also do that from Events.
- Names appear when a linked adult is recognised at the door, in the sanctuary (if that mode is on), or when you click Mark Present.
- If a match looks wrong, open Review Queue. A person decides. The computer does not.
Face Links (Ministry Lead, Pastor, Camera Tech)
There is no "create member" form.
- Open Face Links.
- Search the TempleVault roster. Select an Active adult. Minors, inactive rows, and do-not-match rows stay blocked.
- Capture a clear front-facing photo or short video.
- Tick consent. The California privacy notice is shown on that screen.
- Click Create Face Link.
Update a template later from the same page if hair, glasses, or lighting change. Linking a face does not create a TempleVault person.
Attendance Push
Each present row is queued to TempleVault. Sent to TempleVault is success. Not Sent. Retry means the last push failed. Click Retry, or wait: failed rows are retried automatically.
Reports downloads a local CSV for the campus. TempleVault remains the church record after a successful push.
Pastor and Camera Tech
- Integration Status shows the directory provider, last roster sync, last push, and failed pushes.
- Admin is cameras, purpose (Door Entry, Door Exit, Sanctuary, Unused), match thresholds, and retention. There is no curfew setting. This product is attendance, not a residential scheme.
- Sanctuary cameras sample more slowly (20 seconds in the demo) than the door (5 seconds).
- Door Exit cameras do not write attendance.
If the Screen Is Wrong
- Use Mark Present. The computer is a helper.
- If a camera row says Not Connected or No Recent Sample, attendance may lag. Fix the URL, then Check Connection.
- Never photograph a member to test the demo unless they consented and you are on an approved test environment.
