RecFaces, a global developer of facial recognition software solutions, has announced major updates to its flagship products Id-Guard and Id-Gate, delivering new levels of accuracy, security, and usability to its partners and customers worldwide.
Both solutions are now powered by an upgraded version of a facial recognition algorithm ranked among the Top 5 globally by NIST. The latest version significantly increases identification accuracy and consistency, particularly in challenging conditions such as poor lighting or partial face visibility, ensuring faster and more reliable recognition performance across real-world scenarios.
The new versions also include Portuguese language support, expanding accessibility for users across Latin America and other Portuguese-speaking regions — part of RecFaces’ ongoing commitment to making advanced biometric technology truly global.
Acting on customer feedback
According to Farida Baichora, Product Owner at RecFaces, many of the enhancements reflect direct customer feedback:
“At RecFaces, we always listen to our clients’ needs. Many of the new features in this release were implemented based on their requests, whether it’s easier configuration, greater automation, or deeper integration with existing systems. Our goal is to make facial biometrics not just powerful, but practical and intuitive for everyday use”.
Id-Guard: Smart video surveillance
The upgraded Id-Guard offers users a more intelligent and flexible platform for facial recognition within video surveillance systems. The product now supports full integration with Avigilon Unity Video VMS, expanding its interoperability with major global security platforms that already have certified, ready-made integrations with RecFaces and thus allowing customers to create unified, cross-platform security environments.
A renewed user interface provides more personalisation, from customisable dashboards and theme selection to bookmarks that help operators instantly return to key objects or events. Enhanced filtering options and faster data processing simplify forensic searches, now with the ability to sort by emotions or headdress — a valuable feature for investigations in complex environments.
In addition, new group operations enable teams to manage multiple cameras, profiles, or devices simultaneously, reducing the risk of manual errors. Synchronisation between two RecFaces solutions makes large-scale deployments easier to coordinate, while new options such as automatic profile creation and duplicate profile detection improve overall data accuracy and save operators valuable time.
Id-Gate: Next-generation biometric access control
The latest version of Id-Gate, RecFaces’ biometric access management software, introduces an even more secure and convenient way to control access to facilities. The system now supports the OSDP protocol, which provides encrypted communication between terminals and access control systems — preventing unauthorised interference and enhancing data protection.
A VMS-ACS adapter enables simultaneous operation of both systems, allowing security teams to monitor and manage video and access events within one workflow. The interface has also become more flexible, allowing users to create personal reports, customise dashboards, and use bookmarks for quick access to critical records.
New workflow tools such as Access Schedules help administrators manage employee permissions according to time and location, while group operations simplify configuration changes across multiple devices. Improved duplicate detection, better filtering, and updated translations make everyday system use smoother and faster, contributing to a higher overall efficiency of security operations.
Innovation and recognition
Reflecting its innovation and recognition within the industry, Id-Gate has been nominated for the Security Buyer Readers’ Award in the category “Biometric Solution of the Year”.
Through these releases, RecFaces demonstrates its commitment to continuous improvement and customer-centric development. By combining one of the world’s most accurate recognition algorithms with features that simplify system management, RecFaces’ solutions provide measurable value to system integrators, security distributors, and organisations seeking to strengthen security, streamline processes, and accelerate digital transformation.
