This solution provides a way to register users in Genetec and allowance or denial of entrance and exit into buildings and facilities using a ScanVis GateGuard Pro device. This device is also used to take pictures of the person when registering in Genetec. When a person is registered from Genetec, a command is sent to a ScanVis GateGuard Pro device to take a picture. When the picture of the person is taken, the image is sent to one of the other ScanVis GateGuard Pro devices at the installation site, where the biometric data of the face is analyzed and validated. If the biometric data is valid, it is sent to Genetec and stored by the person who is being registered. From then on, each time the person stands in front of the ScanVis GateGuard Pro device, its facial features are compared to the image stored in Genetec to grant or deny access.
