Lumeo, a designer of computer vision solutions, announces a unique anti-tailgating (and mantrap) AI analytic for turnstiles that prevent tailgating at entrance points.
This innovative solution incorporates advanced AI algorithms to detect the number of individuals entering a turnstile lane (or mantrap) and grants access only if no more than one individual is detected.
Anti-tailgating / mantrap solution at GSX
ZKTeco, a company globally renowned for its multi-factor authentication (MFA) touchless biometric technology, developed these innovative analytics using Lumeo’s video analytics platform.
ZKTeco USA will showcase this “anti-tailgating / mantrap solution” while exhibiting at GSX 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia (September 12-14) at Booth 1329.
Tailgating
Even if the “breach” is harmless, the authorised person is freely cooperating with the unauthorised person
Tailgating is a common security breach that occurs when an unauthorised person gains access through a turnstile (or door) by walking closely behind an authorised person and sneaking in behind them.
In most cases, even if the “breach” is harmless, the authorised person is freely cooperating with the unauthorised person. This violates security protocols and puts the business at substantial risk should any resulting improprieties occur as a result of the tailgating (i.e. property theft, violence, vandalism, etc.).
AI-based solution
While most vendors are already address tailgating by providing monitoring cameras and resulting alert notifications, ZKTeco’s solution actually prevents tailgating from occurring in the first place. This AI-based solution not only authenticates the visitor wishing to pass through the turnstile (or door) but additionally recognises the presence of more than one person using cameras.
If multiple people are detected attempting access, this overrides the turnstile’s locking mechanism, notifies security personnel, and prevents further access, even to authorised personnel.
No-code building-block approach
ZKTeco has created a unique integrated solution that prevents tailgating, instead of merely generating alarms"
“Preventing tailgating is a major challenge for access control equipment manufacturers and security professionals,” said ZKTeco USA President Manish Dalal. “ZKTeco has created a unique integrated solution that prevents tailgating, instead of merely generating alarms.”
“In doing so, time to market was critical for ZKTeco, and Lumeo’s ‘no-code’ building-block approach to video AI and analytics, and high-accuracy ready-to-use AI models enabled ZKTeco to design an effective security solution in record time. Lumeo’s platform also made it easy to integrate with our access control systems and deploy to existing ZKTeco turnstiles.”
Mantrap
Another key feature developed by ZKTeco is creating stronger mantraps for customers who require heightened security (i.e. banks, research labs, post offices, airports, healthcare facilities, data centres, etc.).
A mantrap is an access control system that consists of a small space (i.e. vestibule) and two interlocking access points (i.e. doors). The vestibule’s “entry door” must close before the vestibule “exit door” can be opened. This in effect “traps the man” inside the vestibule until the “entry door” is closed.
Advanced video analytics
ZKTeco’s mantrap can also be programmed to prevent more than one person at a time from passing
ZKTeco’s mantrap can also be programmed to prevent more than one person at a time from passing through it; the moment Lumeo’s advanced video analytics detects more than one person is in the vestibule, it can override the ZKTeco access control system and keep the vestibule’s exit door locked shut.
The exit door is programmed to release only when the entry door is closed, and AI detects one person present inside the mantrap.
Custom AI analytics
Dalal concluded, “ZKTeco turned to Lumeo, given their reputation for quick development and deployment of custom AI analytics.”
“The proper access control hardware and cutting-edge AI analytics that are easy to deploy can go a long way to solving the tailgating challenge. A multi-faceted approach is essential to protecting people, property, and assets.”
