SAFR & EVTRACK

INTEGRATION NOTE

Providing Access Control & Temporary Visitor Management via Facial Recognition

The post COVID-era has seen a major increase in the demand for fast contactless access control for apartment buildings, gated security estates and corporate offices. This integration combines EvTrack's visitor management solution with SAFRs facial recognition server platform to provide users with an enterprise-level access control and visitor management solution using facial biometric credentials.

The solution can be used for both pedestrian and vehicular access control with support for permanent face credentials for residents, employees and tenants. Temporary access control is also possible via use-limited or time-expiry face credentials for visitors or temporary contractors that are enrolled via a guard device, web link or self-service kiosk.

A typical system consists of a SAFR server running a licensed version of the SAFR software communicating with an onsite or cloud-based EvTrack access control server via an API (Application Programming Interface). EvTrack acts as a ‘virtual’ access controller storing credentials, access control points, access control lists, locations and access control time schedules. User, personnel and visitor face credentials are managed by EvTrack and pushed through to the SAFR server once created. Once these expire, or they are modified or deleted, then they are also removed from the SAFR server.

The SAFR facial recognition server constantly ‘scans’ for recognised faces via the incoming video feed and converts these to events which are sent transparently to the EvTrack server to action. with this integration a powerful solution is available for the end-user wanting to do facial recognition access/control via fixed readers or via IP cameras talking to IP i/o modules.​
