RecFaces, renowned for its facial recognition software, has unveiled significant enhancements to its premier products, Id-Guard and Id-Gate.
These updates promise to introduce improved accuracy, security, and usability to a diverse range of users globally. The updated systems are powered by an advanced facial recognition algorithm, currently ranked among the top five by NIST worldwide.
This upgrade substantially boosts the identification accuracy and consistency of the systems, particularly in low-light situations or when faced with partial face visibility, ensuring quicker and more reliable recognition in practical settings.
Enhancing global accessibility
The latest versions extend their accessibility by incorporating Portuguese language support, targeting users across Latin America and other Portuguese-speaking regions.
This move aligns with RecFaces' dedication to making cutting-edge biometric technology accessible on a global scale. Farida Baichora, Product Owner at RecFaces, highlighted that customer feedback heavily influenced these upgrades, emphasising that user needs guide enhancements such as easier configuration, increased automation, and improved system integration.
Id-Guard: Advanced video surveillance solutions
The enhanced Id-Guard now presents users with a smarter, more adaptable facial recognition platform
The enhanced Id-Guard now presents users with a smarter, more adaptable facial recognition platform for video surveillance systems.
It is fully compatible with Avigilon Unity Video VMS, further broadening its interoperability with certified, pre-integrated global security platforms. This allows users to establish comprehensive, cross-platform security frameworks.
The updated user interface offers greater personalisation with custom dashboards and themes, alongside bookmarks for quick access to significant events. Improved filtering and data processing simplify forensic investigations, with functionalities such as emotion or headdress sorting—a beneficial tool in complex investigative environments.
Moreover, newly introduced group operations facilitate the simultaneous management of multiple cameras, profiles, or devices, minimising manual errors. Improved synchronisation between RecFaces solutions aids large-scale deployments, while features like automatic profile creation and duplicate profile detection enhance data accuracy and reduce operational time.
Id-Gate: Secure biometric access
Group operations have simplified configuration updates across numerous devices
The new iteration of Id-Gate, RecFaces' biometric access management software, offers a more secure and seamless access control experience. With support for the OSDP protocol, the system now ensures encrypted communication between terminals and access systems, thwarting unauthorised meddling and fortifying data security.
The addition of a VMS-ACS adapter allows both systems to run concurrently, enabling comprehensive monitoring and management of video and access events within a unified workflow.
The interface has gained flexibility, permitting users to generate personal reports, customise dashboards, and bookmark crucial records. New workflow tools, such as Access Schedules, assist in managing employee permissions according to specific times and locations.
Group operations have simplified configuration updates across numerous devices, and improved duplicate detection and filtering enhance everyday system utilisation, optimising the overall efficiency of security management.
Industry recognition and commitment
Id-Gate's recent nomination for the Security Buyer Readers' Award in the "Biometric Solution of the Year" category underscores its innovation and industry recognition. Through these enhancements, RecFaces showcases its commitment to constant improvement and customer-focused development.
By integrating one of the most precise recognition algorithms globally with user-friendly management features, RecFaces provides substantial value to system integrators, security distributors, and organisations aiming to boost security, streamline operations, and drive digital transformation.
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.
