A4Vision and Fastcom Integrate 3D Face Recognition and Smart Video
Airlock Control Systems With Kaba Speedgate
3D Facial Identification Provides Access to Singular Airlock for
Monitoring People and Objects in High Security Physical Access
Control Applications; World's First Demonstration of Fastcom's SMACS
With A4Vision's Facial Recognition Biometrics at IFSEC, Hall 6, Stand
F102/4
A4Vision
and Fastcom Technology are demonstrating the world's first combined
video monitoring system with 3D facial identification access.
Fastcom's Smart Video Airlock Control System (SMACS) and A4Vision's
award winning 3D facial recognition technology with Kaba's HSB
Speedgate can be seen in the first demonstration of the combined
security technologies at IFSEC, Hall 6, Stand 102/4. Though this is
the first announcement of the companies' integration, the product is
available now with deployments already underway.
The integrated system has immediate application in secure physical
access areas where anti-tailgating measurements are required. Both
Fastcom's and A4Vision's technologies limit access to only one
person, preventing abuses such as tailgating or card sharing. The
integrated product uses 3D facial recognition to gain access to a
secure airlocked space where both individuals and objects are
monitored to determine numbers of people and objects in the interlock
while reporting and recording suspicious or irregular incidents.
"Fastcom's technology ensures that only one person is allowed access,
and the 3D face biometric guarantees that this person is authorized
to enter. This is the perfect combination for high security access
control," said Neil Rowlands, Sales Director at A4Vision.
"A4Vision is a world leader in advanced face recognition, and Fastcom
is delighted to have this opportunity to incorporate the Fastcom
technology to create this unique solution," said Philippe
Niederhauser, VP Sales at Fastcom.
A4Vision's innovations in 3D data capturing and processing have
produced renowned industry-leading accuracy in real-time facial
recognition and tracking. A4Vision readers perform both verification
and identification in real-time; accommodate variable angles, motion,
and changing light conditions, including night; and provide a
completely passive, non-invasive mode of identification with
consistently high rates of accuracy. A4Vision products achieve
unmatched sub-second processing speeds in biometric scanning and can
be applied in multi-factor security schemes, such as the Fastcom
integration, or with other security factors including PINs, cards,
fingerprint or iris scanning, and number plate recognition.
Fastcom's SMACS acts as an intelligent video surveillance system for
singularisation control and empty space control in interlocks. Using
ultra-advanced image processing algorithms, SMACS automatically
detects people and objects in a secured interlock area. The Smart
Airlock Control System product family is a video-based detection
system, used for access control at building entrances, or to rooms
and floors. Combined with a security airlock door or an elevator
cabin, access by people can be automatically controlled. The system
is able to detect the presence of people in an airlock while also
checking for objects, which have been left behind. The used method is
video-based and needs only a single video camera.
The integrated product is available now and can be purchased through
either A4Vision or Fastcom.
