Face recognition for Sera4 smart padlocks

In the following article we will delve into defining what double security authentication applied to access control and opening of smart devices works and how it works. In addition, we will tell you how it is possible to use Alice Security‘s facial recognition system as registration and virtual access for the generation of opening keys for Sera4 smart padlocks.

What is access control

Access control is a system made up of one or several mechanisms that allow authentication and identification in order to have the right to access data. In the security and surveillance sector, access control plays an important role in the entire security plan of any site. This allows or restricts the entry or exit access of a person or vehicle to certain areas.

Access control through double authentication

As with two-factor authentication (2FA) to enter an email, an external confirmation is required to recognize and have complete security of the identity of the person who performs this action.

Due to this, the need arises to develop more effective forms of authentication, which may be applicable to the physical security of different spaces.

Sera4 Smart Padlocks

One of the main advantages of a robust platform like Alice Security is its ability to adapt to the needs and functionalities of customers. For this reason, we joined the Sera4 company’s brand of smart locks.

Sera4 is a Canadian company in charge of developing padlocks for access control with Keyless technology (they do not require keys) and are activated via Bluetooth through an application for mobile devices.

Smart padlocks features

The padlocks have an advanced shielding that is resistant to any type of adversity, environment and weather conditions. In addition, these devices provide bank-grade digital security, and have integrated sensors to carry out some type of audit process.

On the other hand, its Bluetooth connectivity allows connection through an application for Android and iOS that provides functionalities for opening the lock. In addition, these devices have GPS to determine their location through maps, allowing the monitoring of several locks at the same time.

Alice Security Face Recognition on Sera4 Padlocks

Alice Security‘s facial recognition technology allows detecting and recognizing faces in real time, managing to find faces in databases of more than 25,000 photographs. This functionality is controlled through a platform or software that connects to IP cameras to add this biometric function.

Alice manages to recognize faces, register them with geographic evidence, video and image captured with their respective match.

In addition, this platform allows you to create and manage white or black lists to generate alerts and activate alarms in the event that a person registered on said lists is detected.

For this and other characteristics, Alice becomes the main ally of Sera4 smart locks to get the most out of them, achieving the goal of achieving greater security, reliability and traceability of everything that happens around us.

How Alice’s facial recognition double authentication works with Sera4

Facial recognition of the user who wishes to enter is performed by opening the smart lock.

Once the biometric analysis of the person is produced, the notification is displayed on Alice’s platform located in the camera monitoring center. The operator proceeds to approve the person and assigns an opening key to the person who wishes to enter.

This generated key can be viewed through the applicant’s Sera4 mobile application to unlock the lock through the Bluetooth connection between the app and the lock.

With this two factor authentication, greater traceability and reliability is generated, due to the visual record that Alice generates of the people who use the padlock. The platform will proceed to keep a record of: date and time of admission with image and video evidence of the detected face.

Where can I use this two-factor security authentication?

As we have already mentioned before, the level of security and robustness of these devices reaches bank-grade security levels, making these padlocks an ideal option for:

• safe rooms.
• Vaults.
• Security doors.
• Factories.
• Banks.
• Malls.
• Traffic infrastructures.
• and much more.

What do I need to add physical double authentication for my security system?

In Colombia, the company in charge of officially distributing Sera4 smart devices is Jonyco, Jonyco, a company that is in charge of providing access control solutions such as: key controls, access readers, locks and much more.

On the other hand, our Alice Security intelligent monitoring platform will be integrated into video surveillance cameras where facial recognition analytics are desired. These IP cameras must have variable focus and a recording capacity of more than 2 megapixels.

Finally, it is vital to carry out a technical view of the needs and conditions of the environment in order to provide the best solution.
