ELIDEye AI-Powered Visual Anti-Tailgate System

The ultimate purpose of an access control system is to ensure that access to a secure area is restricted to “authorized” personnel only. Tailgating is the most prevalent security risk that defeats this purpose, consequently jeopardizing the privacy/safety of the information/people in a secure area. This phenomenon occurs when an authorized individual uses standard access techniques (card, fingerprint, face) to gain access to a secure area, and without his/her consent or knowledge, an unauthorized person seizes the opportunity to enter the secure area before the door closes. Unfortunately, standard access control systems cannot tackle/prevent tailgating because they are unable to count the actual number of people entering a secure area after an authorized person has gained access and opened the door. ELIDEye is an advanced anti-tailgate system with artificial intelligence (AI) that can be integrated with any standard access control system to detect and alert against all tailgating offences, hence providing enhanced security. It is equipped with a built-in webserver that allows the user to control and configure the device operation from any standard web browser.

Features & Benefits

Tailgate Detection

Protection against various security breach scenarios such as tailgating, piggybacking and crossing.

Enhanced Security

Provides a high level of security by ensuring only a single person can enter each time an authorized personnel’s card is swiped/badged.

Enforces proper card/fingerprint usage

Encourages employees to adhere to proper access control protocols.

Affordable

AI-powered rather than using expensive mantrap vestibules, turnstiles or electronic sensor beams.

Non-intrusive

Mounted on the ceiling. Day-to-day movement of employees is unobstructed.

High Compatibility

Effortless integration with any standard access controller, requiring only two signals – valid entry and door sensor.

Low maintenance costs

No hardware that is subject to wear and tear; hence, no periodic repairs or maintenances is necessary.

There are three types of tailgate offences

Tailgating

Act of an unauthorized person follows an authorized person to a restricted area without the consent of the authorized person.

Piggybacking

Happens when a person tags along with another person who is authorized to gain entry into a restricted area, or pass a certain checkpoint.

Crossing

When an authorized person badges at the exit reader to leave a secure area, with or without his/her consent, an unauthorized person takes the opportunity to enter the secure area before the door closes.

Highlight

ElidEye is able to differentiate humans from other moving objects. Therefore, when an employee walks in with a trolley, stroller or luggage, it will only detect the employee. It will not falsely detect the moving trolley as another person.

During piggybacking, two or more people move together closely. It is difficult to isolate and detect the exact number of people during piggybacking. ElidEye has superior ability to detect precise locations of people even if they are close to each other. This feature enables ElidEye to effectively detect piggybacking.

ElidEye is able to track the movement of people. Therefore, it can differentiate between entering and exiting people. It is suited for detecting crossing. Alarm will not trigger if one person enters and another person exits the secure area at the same time.
