Face (Facial capture and recognition)

Face Access Control

The Face Access Control module is especially designed for access control. At the access point, a video camera using the VisGallery module captures the face of every person and the facial images are extracted and compared with the stored faces.  If they match, access is permitted.  For high security areas, Face Access Control can be combined with a standard card terminal, so that each card can only be used by its owner.

Face Access Control modules can be networked together, so recognized faces can be stored in the Central Database and then distributed automatically to all terminals. Recognition normally takes less than a second depending on the number of faces in the database and the bandwidth between local points for entry. The system is integrated with most existing access control manufactures like Northern Computers, Ademco, Appollo and can be integrated with others upon request.

This system eliminates problems with people losing their access cards because all they need is their face.

The system can recognize faces with facial hair such as a moustache or beard.  In cases that a person’s face was recorded with no beard or moustache, Face Access Control will record the everyday change of the person’s face and continue to recognize it.

Entrance logs can be viewed from a remote location and can be administrated remotely.  All functions, like data modification, camera calibration, size adjustment of the objects, PTZ movement, and system deactivation/activation, can all be controlled remotely or over a network

The system can automatically respond to adverse situations, such as a person who is not authorized for entry, a system malfunctions, or if the cameras have been tampered with by cutting the wire of the camera or covering camera with paper or gum. The system will generate the “system event” warning instantly, and can send multiple alert notifications by audio (an automated dispatch with specific pre-recorded outgoing messages), SMS, PDA and E-mail.

The video file and/or images are automatically sent via email or directly to mobile phones.

The Face Access Control system is especially designed for control access to important locations and important entrances. At the access point, a video camera using the VisGallery module captures the face of every person and then the facial images are extracted and compared with the stored faces. If they match, access is permitted. For high security areas, like drug storage, banks, military applications, a combination with a card terminals is possible, so that each card can only be used by its owner.
