Salto has introduced the XS4 Face, an advanced access control system, which employs face recognition technology to provide fast and secure access to Salto access points.
This innovative solution eliminates the need for traditional keys or keycards, granting users entry with just their face. The system is engineered to prioritise privacy, allowing access in under a second while maintaining the flexibility and user experience that Salto is known for.
Streamlined installation and privacy features
The XS4 Face has been designed for ease of installation and operation, meeting high security and privacy standards. It features automated hardware and software setup, which simplifies deployment and addresses typical installation challenges. Salto's comprehensive approach ensures that high-security measures are integrated into the user experience, allowing for quick access without compromising safety.
User-friendly onboarding
This design ensures a seamless and frictionless user experience
Onboarding new users is facilitated through a straightforward process that does not require app downloads or visit to a registration point. Instead, the XS4 Face system provides a mobile self-enrolment procedure, making it easy for users to enrol on any device from any location. This design ensures a seamless and frictionless user experience.
Privacy-centric access control
Privacy is a cornerstone of the XS4 Face system. Images are not stored; instead, the system converts the user's image into a biometric template for immediate comparison and deletion within 0.3 seconds. The inclusion of liveness detection technology helps prevent fraudulent access attempts using photographs or masks.
Comprehensive smart access ecosystem
The XS4 Face integrates effortlessly with existing Salto door locks and infrastructure, enhancing the smart access ecosystem managed by Salto's Space SVN data-on-card access system.
The system supports multiple credential options—such as face recognition, mobile keys, RFID keycards, fobs, and PIN codes—enabling organisations to create customised access strategies tailored to various needs and environments. Salto's latest offering underscores its commitment to delivering a secure, adaptable access control solution that aligns privacy with usability.
Salto, a pioneer in electronic access control solutions, continues to advance smart access innovation with Salto XS4 Face, a face recognition access control solution designed to deliver fast, secure, and hands-free access while prioritising privacy, flexibility, and user experience.
Salto XS4 Face’s face recognition technology is engineered to provide convenient, secure access to Salto access points, requiring only a face as a credential and granting access in under a second. Each user gains access effortlessly through a unique access credential – their face – eliminating the need for physical keys or keycards.
Removing common installation
XS4 Face makes access simple and intuitive, while meeting the highest security and privacy requirements. With automated and streamlined hardware and software installation, deployment is faster and easier, removing common installation and operational challenges. Built-in high security and privacy ensure a safe and seamless user experience, allowing users to access spaces quickly – saving time while maintaining a secure environment.
XS4 Face is designed for straightforward deployment, with simplified hardware installation and automated software configuration and commissioning. No third-party software or additional integration is required. The entire solution, including algorithm, hardware, software, and ongoing support, is delivered by Salto and works seamlessly with existing Salto door locks and building infrastructure.
Frictionless onboarding experience
XS4 Face provides an intuitive enrolment service, making onboarding users quick and easy – without the need to download an app. Onboarding can be done from anywhere, on any device. Users do not need to come to a central point to register their faces. Instead, XS4 Face guides them through an easy mobile self-enrolment process, ensuring a frictionless onboarding experience.
Salto XS4 Face is designed with privacy at its core. The local, on-premise system does not store any images. When a user approaches the XS4 Face camera, their image is captured and converted into a biometric template for comparison with the gallery of enrolled users. In all cases, the access request image and the resulting biometric template are deleted within 0.3 seconds. Built-in liveness detection helps prevent spoofing attempts that use photos, videos, or masks, ensuring only genuine users gain access.
Unified smart access ecosystem
Powered by Salto’s advanced access control technology, XS4 Face works with existing electronic Salto door locks and building infrastructure. XS4 Face merges convenience and security, ensuring a smooth entry experience every time. XS4 Face is currently integrated into Salto Space, Salto’s pioneering SVN data-on-card access control.
As part of Salto’s smart access ecosystem, XS4 Face supports multiple credential options, allowing organisations to design access strategies that fit different users, environments, and security requirements: face recognition, mobile or digital keys, RFID keycards or fobs, and PIN codes. With XS4 Face, Salto delivers a secure, scalable access control solution that balances privacy, convenience, and control as part of a unified smart access ecosystem.
