It can, however, capture images of anything that will fit on the flatbed portion of the scanner (checks, signatures, photos), but it does not read or parse data during this process, it only captures the images and associates it to the visitor profile post ID scan.

The E-Seek M280 does not require internet access to scan IDs. However, the particular software you are using may require online connectivity. Both VeriScan ID Scanning & Visitor Management software, and ParseLink Data Automation software work offline.
