Why the Future of AI is Happening at the Edge
We’re used to thinking of powerful computing happening in the cloud or big servers. But today, that’s changing fast. Thanks to major leaps in processing power and AI technology, smart devices can now handle complex tasks right where the data is created, directly at...
Why Tailgating Detection is Important for Secure Access Control
Tailgating, also known as piggybacking, is a significant threat to secure access control in any organization. It occurs when an unauthorized person gains entry to a restricted area by closely following an authorized individual, often exploiting human courtesy or...
Ditch the Noise: Smarter Alerts for LP Teams
Better Signal-to-Noise Helps LP Focus on What Matters Loss prevention teams face a growing challenge. It is not just retail crime on the rise, but alert fatigue caused by too many irrelevant notifications. Most systems generate more noise than insight. Teams lose time...
Do you really know who went through the door?
Why Visual Evidence Makes Facial Recognition the Best Choice for Access Do you really know who went through the door? The Problem: Card-Based Access Leaves You in the Dark Traditional access control systems rely on cards, mobile phones, fobs, or PINs, and every entry...
Why Choose a Fit-for-Purpose Camera?
Why Choose a Fit-for-Purpose Camera? Since the introduction of network-based security technology, high-definition surveillance cameras have evolved in a myriad of ways. Today’s cameras are engineered to deliver the clearest possible picture of activity in their field...

Face-Priority Auto-Exposure: What is it and why do I need it? How do you ensure that your face matching or facial recognition solution is getting the best image of the face, regardless of lighting or other factors? With Face-priority auto-exposure!...
Securing PII in Biometric Authentication Systems
Securing PII in Biometric Authentication Systems In an increasingly digital world, safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII) has never been more crucial. PII is any data that can, either on its own or when combined with other information, identify...
Facial Authentication – The Future of Access Control
Skip the Wallet: Facial Authentication Is the Future of Access Control The access control industry is at a crossroads. While mobile wallets are gaining traction as a replacement for physical keycards, they still fall short of delivering true security and...
Minimizing Bias in Facial Recognition
Engineering Ethics into AI: Minimizing Bias in Facial Recognition Facial recognition technology, like any deep learning algorithm, is only as effective as the code and the dataset it is trained on. For companies with global reach, the ethical imperative lies in...
Facial Recognition vs. Identity Recognition
Facial Recognition vs. Identity Recognition: What's the Difference? Facial recognition and Identity recognition may sound similar, but they serve very different purposes. One detects a face, while the other confirms who that face belongs to by linking it to...
