Ready-made biometric solution Id-Gate
Id-Gate is a product that enriches the functionality of access control systems with additional features using facial recognition technology. It instantly recognizes people by their faces, comparing images with profiles in the database.
The AI used in RecFaces software is included in the list of Top 5 face recognition algorithms conducted by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).
Unlike RFID cards or passwords, the solution operates with a biometric identifier of an employee or visitor that is unique and can’t be stolen or lost. Using facial recognition to identify employees or visitors provides personalized access, prevents people from passing with someone else’s ID, and increases the efficiency of access control systems.
Moreover, the software helps prevent queues from forming — Id-Gate identifies the person in less than a second, ensuring quick visitor processing and a high level of security. Visitors no longer need to spend time searching for an RFID card, which speeds up the process of entering the office and reaching the workplace or the conference room.
The software also provides authentication flexibility — it supports multi-factor authorization, complementing traditional RFID checks, as well as QR codes with all the capabilities of identity confirmation using facial recognition.
Work on the project and the solution
The customer needed higher security and faster office operations, and Id-Gate proved to be the perfect fit for the facility’s requirements.
The installation took only one month. During the project implementation, the RecFaces team assisted in calculating the cost of the necessary infrastructure as well as determining the proper terminal placement for better face recognition and the positioning of the light. RecFaces also offered comprehensive consultations and helped with the software installation.
RecFaces’ competence center provided training for iSpace representatives in order to simplify the use of Id-Gate. Since the iSpace engineers already had their own biometric competence center, both the software setup and training proceeded seamlessly.
Eugenia Marina, Business Development Director for the MENA region at RecFaces, led the whole project. She noted that in the future, the company may offer an expansion of the project in Dubai:
If desired, the client can easily connect RecFaces software to an already installed VMS from the list of ready-made integrations with Milestone Xprotect, Pelco VideoXpert, and Bosch BVMS. The client can use ready-made integration plugins or Open API to connect their own solutions.
Along with Id-Gate, the company also implemented the Id-Welcome software, which provides personalized automatic messages for office visitors. When a user is recognized, the system displays personalized greetings and reminders about forthcoming events related to a certain employee.
Benefits
Id-Gate was implemented at the facility in integration with the office’s existing infrastructure, including lockers and calendars. The installation was carried out in a short time due to the fact that RecFaces provides boxed solutions that do not require programming or debugging.
Boxed biometric products have several benefits over other types of such systems, therefore, they are increasingly becoming the preferred choice of businesses that want to swiftly deploy a security solution while remaining confident in its dependability.
There were numerous reasons for iSpace to choose RecFaces’ software:
- First and foremost, RecFaces’ products incorporate only proven technological and algorithmic solutions based on successful implementation in similar environments. This reliability is especially important for security systems, where even a single inaccuracy can disrupt the entire infrastructure.
- Furthermore, RecFaces software is ready-to-use and does not require development fees. These systems are preferred by enterprises across sectors looking for cost-effective and dependable solutions to boost their security infrastructure.
- Besides, RecFaces trains Client Personnel during system setup, helps with biometrics, and holds webinars for anyone keen on understanding system operations.
Results
The installation of Id-Gate in Dubai is not the first collaboration between RecFaces and iSpace. The company installed security solutions at other iSpace locations in the past, which is proof of the reliability of RecFaces’ products.
At the smart office in Dubai, the RecFaces team has removed the need for physical key cards and passwords and provided a modern and more secure alternative to conventional authentication methods. Thanks to the seamless integration with the existing systems in the office, visitors are now able to use facial recognition to enter the premises, open lockers, and book meeting rooms. Moreover, office representatives now receive unique visitor statistics that show how busy the office is at a particular moment, which is essential for managing the facility.
The introduction of facial recognition technology made it possible to enhance security and comfort in the office, bringing iSpace Dubai to a new level of coworking spaces.
The installation of Id-Gate at the iSpace smart office in Dubai stands as a prominent example of the company’s work with business centers, underscoring its expertise and the reliability of its solutions.
