Facial Biometric Access Control and Surveillance System for Secure Facilities.

SentryPort Access™ takes advanced biometric authentication to the next level with its proprietary facial recognition technology. Applied to your secure facility, authorized individuals enter with ease; improper access is stopped cold.

By applying a mathematical model to a video image of the face, SentryPort Access generates a unique biometric representation for each person enrolled. Whenever someone wishes to access a building or secure area, Access makes another video scan of the person at the door and compares it with the stored data. If the images match, entry is granted. Access can be used to strengthen existing security measures as a secondary and uncompromisable level of authentication. For example, entry can be denied to anyone who tries to use a valid entry code or electronic access card, but whose face does not match. SentryPort Access’ superior technology permits unsurpassed multiple-door performance.

• High Security – Stolen access devices or entry codes become worthless; your facial “key” cannot be lost or compromised.
• Multiple Factor Identity Required – Entrance requires a combination of keypad or card entry along with your facial “key” to gain access; for higher security levels this can be combined with fingerprint or other biometrics.
• Audit Trail – Identifies anyone attempting to get unauthorized access to your facilities and acts as a deterrent against casual attempts. It also offers effective time and attendance tools, positively identifying who entered your building and when.
• Easy to Integrate – SentryPort Access™ can be used with smart cards, proximity cards, 2D barcode cards (ideal for visitor access) and entry code systems.
• Flexibility – Each door equipped with SentryPort Access can be individually configured to require specific combinations of card and biometrics as a function of user, door location and time of day.
• Simple to Use and Unobtrusive – SentryPort Access is practically transparent to the user. You can even use it in a conventional CCTV monitoring mode.
