Key Market Applicatrions

Challenges:

• Unauthorized transfer of RFID cards to third parties
• Several individuals entering using the same pass card or someone’s photo or video recording
• Low throughput during peak hours, as individuals may take up to 10 seconds to locate their pass cards
• Lack of control over the passage of people in areas without actuators

Solutions:

• Facial biometrics verifies the identity of the cardholder within 1 second, comparing their face at the entrance and the one of cardholder. The access is denied to the impostor
• Facial recognition detects all the faces captured on camera, immediately notifying security about those people who enter without a card
• Biometric authentication allows entrance within 1 second, significantly improving throughput
• Liveness detection feature ensures that a person is physically present during facial recognition authentication, preventing spoofing attempts using static images or videos

Camera-based access control eliminates the need for doors and turnstiles by accurately detecting all individuals within its field of view, given proper placement and focal length. 

Features & Benefits

Id-Gate Facial Recognition Software can easily extend ACS capabilities without programming by adding the following features: 

Identification Mode : 

• Description: Utilizes a biometric attribute (facial recognition) as the sole method for contactless access confirmation.
• Benefit: Provides a secure and convenient way to verify identity without the need for physical access cards, PINs or additional authentication factors.

Virtual Access Points:

• Description: Records a person’s presence at specific locations with timestamps, creating a virtual checkpoint. Verifies the individual's access levels and rights to the location.
• Benefit:
  • Enforces access control policies at each checkpoint
  • Enables real-time personnel tracking within premises
  • Provides insights into space utilization and workflow efficiency

Data Synchronization:

• Description: Ensure seamless data transfer between Id-Gate and Genetec Security Center, including commands, access events and object updates.
• Includes synchronization of:
  • Profiles
  • Cards
  • Access Levels
  • Locations
  • Devices

Facial Recognition Analytics

• Description: Analyzes and tracks facial data to extract key insights into demographic patterns, behavior, and trends for security or operational optimization.
• Benefit:
  • Enhances security by identifying unauthorized individuals
  • Provides valuable insights into user behavior
  • Improves operational efficiency by leveraging data-driven insights

Bi-Directorial Profile Synchronization

• Description: Synchronizes user profiles across multiple systems, ensuring data consistency and real-time updates both ways.
• Benefit:
  • Reduces data discrepancies
  • Ensures that user profile changes are reflected instantly across all connected platforms for improved security and convenience

Real-Time Access Control with Genetec Event Triggering

• Description: Enables immediate access control of physical and logical access, with Genetec Event Triggering enabling immediate response to events such as unauthorized access attempts or security breaches.
• Benefit:
  • Enhances security by allowing for rapid responses to security events
  • Improves monitoring of access activity
  • Reduces the risk of unauthorized access in real time

Customizable Instant Notifications

• Description: Allows users to set personalized notifications based on specific triggers, such as access attempts, system health, or security breaches, delivered instantly via various communication channels.
• Benefit:
  • Ensures timely responses to critical events
  • Improves security awareness and operational control

Advanced Reporting and Audit Trails

• Description: Generates comprehensive, detailed reports and maintains an audit trail for all system activities, providing a transparent log of actions, access events, and system changes.
• Benefit:
  • Improves compliance by providing detailed tracking and historical records
  • Simplifies troubleshooting
  • Enhances accountability and transparency in security management

Multi-Factor Authentication Support

• Description: Integrates additional layer of security, requiring users to provide multiple forms of identification (e.g., biometric data, PIN, or mobile device authentication) to verify access.
• Benefit:
  • Strengthens security by ensuring that unauthorized individuals cannot gain access even if one authentication factor is compromised
  • Provides greater protection for sensitive data and systems

Liveness Detection

• Description: Uses AI-driven technology to ensure that a person is physically present during facial recognition authentication, preventing spoofing attempts using static images or videos.
• Benefit:
  • Increases the accuracy and reliability of facial recognition, ensuring that only live individuals gain access
  • Reduces the risk of identity fraud and spoofing attacks

Deployment Options:

• Flexible Deployment Models: Available as on-premises, cloud-based, or hybrid solutions to meet diverse organizational needs.

Installation and Integration:
