Introduction¶
IMPORTANT NOTE
Major versions represent a big change from the previous major version, providing more capabilities and potential. At the same time, moving from a major version means a break in backward compatibility that must be managed using the provided migration guide. Please make sure to perform proper tests in development environments to ensure that everything is working as expected.
Differential features and improvements of WC SDKs
- Greatly improved browser's compatibility
- Webviews support available
- Fully customizable UI with configuration and CSS Parts available
- Improved detection and quality of the captures generated
- Improved and organized configuration
- Optimization and reduction of memory requirements
- Reduced weight of the SDKs
Video SDK is a JS library that merges the Selfie SDK and the Document SDK into one, allowing you to capture and verify both faces and documents in a single video stream.
The Video SDK works by first detecting the user's face using advanced biometric techniques to verify the user's identity.
Once the user's identity has been verified, the Video SDK will then capture documents and use advanced detection techniques to identify the type of document and the authenticity of the document.
Flow¶
The Video SDK is a powerful tool that can be used to streamline the identity verification process. This is done by having the user complete the following tasks in a single video:
- Show their face: The user must look directly at the camera and show their entire face.
- Spell a custom sentence or word: The user will be prompted to spell a custom sentence or word to verify that they are a live person.
- Show the obverse (front side) of their document: The user must hold up their document to the camera so that the entire front side of it is visible.
- Show the reverse (back side) of their document (if applicable): If the user's document has two sides, they will also be prompted to show the back side of the card to the camera.
Camera¶
VDVideo takes into account the type of device being used and attempts to launch the camera (front facing or rear) that will provide the user with the best experience:
- Rear camera is used on mobile devices (smartphones, tablets…)
- Front camera is used on computers (desktops, laptops…)
The following permissions are required for the framework to work:
- Camera.
- Microphone.
The camera attempts to start at Full HD (1080p), but lower resolutions are intended whether the devices are unable to support the optimal one.
Specifications¶
The following permission is required for the framework to work:
- Camera: By default, the SDK launch Front camera on all devices (smartphones, tablets, desktops, laptops...), but you can choose the camera you want to use with the selectCamera property. With this property you can launch the Back camera, to use with Selfie flow.
- Microphone: : The SDK also accesses the device's microphone for audio input by default. This allows for an audio recording feature included in this sdk.
Browser compatibility¶
The SDK supports the following devices and browsers:
Desktop Browsers¶
| Browser Name | Minimum version | Current version |
|---|---|---|
| Chrome | 64 | 114 |
| Firefox | 69 | 111 |
| Safari | 13.1 | 16.4 |
| Opera | 51 | 95 |
| Edge | 79 | 111 |
Mobile and Tablets Browsers¶
| Browser Name | Platform | Minimum version | Current version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chrome | Android | 64 | 111 |
| Firefox | Android | 79 | 110 |
| Edge | Android | 79 | 112 |
| Opera Mobile | Android | 47 | 73 |
| Samsung Internet | Android | 9.0 | 20 |

| Opera Mobile | iOS | 47 | 4.0.1 |
| Safari | iOS | 13.4 | 16.4 |
Browser APIs¶
ResizeObserver GetUserMedia WebAssembly
Webview compatibility¶
The SDK supports the following webviews:
| Webview Name | iOS | Android |
|---|---|---|
| Yes | Yes (1) | |
| Yes | Yes (1) | |
| Platform native webview | Yes | Yes |
(1) In Instagram and Facebook webviews, access to the microphone is not allowed, so video recording was done without audio.
Minimum recommended requirements for devices¶
Veridas recommends the following minimum requirements:
| Android devices | Minimum recommended requirement |
|---|---|
| Camera resolution | At least 1080p (Full HD) |
| RAM | At least 4GB, 6GB preferred |
| Processor (CPU) | Mid-range and recent |
| Screen resolution | At least 1080p (Full HD) |
| iOS devices | Minimum recommended requirement |
|---|---|
| Device model | From iPhone 11 onwards |
Please note that devices below these minimums may not function properly. Additionally, it's important to emphasize that while meeting these minimum specifications ensures functionality, exceeding them does not guarantee impeccable performance in all cases.
