Smart access control and video surveillance

Keeping control, traceability and security of a site is one of the tasks that should be given more importance within companies. To have a platform that allows to manage and optimize the video surveillance systems and access control are necessary to offer the peace of mind and security people and assets that every company or site needs for its productivity.

Here we will show you how it is possible to integrate a complete video surveillance and intelligent access control system on site or in the cloud on site or in the cloud, capable of adapting to the needs of any sector such as: condominiums, buildings, shopping malls, parking lots, industries, security companies and much more.

It is capable of managing vehicle and pedestrian access, while at the same time taking care of autonomously monitor hundreds of cameras and sites, and can manage vehicle and walking access..

What is Access Control?

First of all, access control refers to security techniques that use of mechanisms for identity verification in order to access different resources, information or sites. Whether for pedestrian or vehicular access to buildings, shopping centers, parkings, factories, among others.

Una de las virtudes que nos ofrece el implementar soluciones de control de acceso, es la capacidad de llevar un control total de todo el sitio tanto a nivel empresarial, como en la gestión de la seguridad.

Access control in private security

Integrating access management platforms allows you to optimize the operator’s surveillance work, generating by the operator, generating additional security, helping to focus on other security tasks, such as monitoring and alarms confirmation, and reports generation by operator.

Control access with facial recognition

Facial recognition system has the ability to detect and record faces captured by cameras thanks to the help of Machine Learning and Computer Vision to instantly distinguish people, performing an analysis of each faction of the face through points.

Benefits of Alice Security facial recognition access control

One of the possibilities offered by a robust monitoring platform such as Alice, is its ability to centralize all access controls, providing absolute traceability of everything that is happening on the site; allowing:

• Manage black and white list of all access

• Trigger alerts to the control room in case you try to access people not registered in database.

• Create different lists of owners, residents or guests.

• It is capable of storing video and photo evidence of detected faces..

• Perform forensic searches of events through faces that are not registered in the site’s database.

• Keeping a record of more than 24,000 faces.

• Is integrated with external hardware such as: alarms, deterrent devices, smart locks and others.

• No cards required or contact with any other component for access (touch-less).

All these functionalities are adapted to each of the needs of properties, condominiums, residential complexes, buildings, commercial premises, industrial sectors, banks, hospitals and much more.

Also, this facial recognition technology is completely versatile, It can be integrated into access and opening devices such as gates, turnstiles or barriers.

Access control by license plate recognition LPR

The vehicle license plate recognition system for access control is responsible for opening physical barriers or gates automatically to those cars that are registered within a database, or through personalized rules through the creation of access lists.

What is Alice license plate recognition access control and how does it work?

Record of plate detected for access with image, video and location evidence.

the abbreviations LPR or also ANPR refer to the term: Automatic License Plate Recognition, is an access control and video surveillance solution based on character recognition technology (OCR Optical Character Recognition) to be able to distinguish each letter and number that make up the license plate of the car, making a record each time an access or exit is made.

Benefits of Alice Security Vehicle Access Control

As we mentioned before, Alice is a very versatile and scalable platform that can be adjusted to the needs of each site, keeping total control of everything.

The main advantages that we can see once we deploy a license plate recognition solution are:

• Automated access.
• Does Not require RFID for access.
• Like facial recognition, this is also a touch less system that does not require cards or external devices to open gates or fences.
• Allows you to manage vehicle lists of guests or owners.
• It adapts to car parking lots and payment systems.
• Generates alerts for vehicles that are not registered in the database (white and black lists). in the database (black / white lists).
• Your installation is done in the cloud on site or in a hybrid.

Integration with opening devices, fences, doors and access turnstiles

Similar to facial recognition access control, Alice integrates with a remote activator or TCP/IP Relay to remotely open a vehicle fence in a parking lot or some other devices. Receiving indications from the Alice platform every time an access is required to be activated.

What is the scope of this solution?

Its level of scalability allows integration starting from parking stations, buildings, shopping centers, mobile cameras in police patrols, up to entire cities with video surveillance cameras installed in traffic perimeter zones for the automatic detection of licenses in vehicles at high speeds.

Smart Video Surveillance

The security and video surveillance business today has had a broad growth that is expected to continue to grow over the years. This growth, which is evidenced in large part due to technological advances, has generated that stakeholders in the security business are increasingly aware of these benefits, seeking to update or improve their current security systems.

Intelligent video surveillance are all those systems that make use of technologies and tools equipped with Artificial Intelligence such as: Computer Vision and video analytics to optimize, improve and complement camera monitoring functions.

Alice Guardian is the ideal platform that integrates with CCTV systems, carrying out an analysis of all the images captured by the security cameras.

Thanks to this software, closed circuit television systems will be able to centralize, detect, verify and activate autonomously each of the critical events or anomalies that are displayed in the focus of the cameras.

What can be detected with intelligent video surveillance from Alice Guardian?

Alice is an smart and autonomous monitoring platform capable of providing support for those surveillance tasks where it is necessary to monitor hundreds of cameras at the same time in different screens, performing detection, registration and alert in real-time of:

• Gun detection.
• Intrusion Detection. (persons)
• Action detection. (hands up, fights)
• Facial Recognition.
• Any other personalized video analytics according to the needs of the client.

Alice Security in Action.

On the other hand, Alice allows all these detections to be displayed through the management of hundreds of alerts in an intelligent way, taking into account the following essential aspects that define the philosophy and purpose of this web application for monitoring surveillance cameras:

• centralization: this software allows to centralizing hundreds of cameras located in different places, displaying a visual alert of all locations via maps.
• Detection: A monitoring system capable of detecting events in real time, generating alerts and evidence through photo, video and geolocation.
• Verification: Once there is support for camera monitoring and detection, Alice offers the possibility of allowing the operator to verify all those registered events through their confirmation, either on the platform or through Telegram. In addition, it offers the possibility of generating reports and minutes of each action carried out by the operator.
• Action: This platform integrates with alarm, dissuasion or loudspeaker devices, allowing them to be activated when alerts are generated or when they are confirmed by the person in charge of monitoring.

All-in-one video surveillance and access control platform

Monitoring platform that centralized and manages all video surveillance and access all in one place.

Another benefit of deploying a monitoring platform like Alice Guardian, is your integration with access control through facial recognition and vehicle license plates, allowing centralizing all surveillance and access control on the same platform that provides complete traceability of what is happening in one or different sites simultaneously.

How can I add smart access control and video surveillance?

The first thing to keep in mind are characteristics of the site,the access points and the number of video surveillance cameras that the CCTV system has to implement video analytics.
