How It Works

How FACES2 protects your facility

How FACES2 Access Control works
01
AI Central Monitoring

Dashboard tracks all activity, logs events, and integrates with AI Threat Detection.

02
Credential Presented

Employee, visitor, or contractor presents ID, mobile credential, or biometric.

03
Verification

System confirms identity, validates credentials, and checks access permissions.

04
Real-Time Alert

Unauthorized attempts trigger instant notifications to security teams.

05
Entry Granted / Denied

Door unlocks for approved users; entry denied for unverified attempts.

Notes
MIFARE Classic
13.56 MHz
Very common globally
Low to Med
Common in older 13.56 MHz systems, campuses, hotels, transit, and multi-use cards. Better than basic prox, but older versions have known security weaknesses.
MIFARE DESFire EV1/EV2/EV3
13.56 MHz
Very common for modern systems
High
One of the best global choices for secure access control. DESFire EV3 supports AES and Common Criteria EAL5+ security certification.
HID iCLASS
13.56 MHz
Very common in North America
Med to High
Popular in enterprise and institutional access control. Older iCLASS is less secure than newer iCLASS SE or Seos.
HID Seos
13.56 MHz, mobile capable
Growing in enterprise
High
HID’s modern secure credential platform, often paired with mobile credentials. Multi-technology credentials support migration from Prox and iCLASS.
LEGIC
13.56 MHz
Common in Europe
Med to High
Used in corporate, university, hospitality, and multi-application systems, especially in Europe.
JCOP / Java Card
13.56 MHz
Specialized but important
High
Used where custom secure applets, PKI, encryption, or government and enterprise identity requirements are needed.
Mobile Credentials
BLE / NFC / wallet
Rapidly growing
Med to High
Phones are increasingly replacing cards. Security depends on the platform, reader, and credential design.
AI tailgating detection flags an unknown person following a recognized employee through a secure door
AI Detection

Tailgating stops at the door

A valid credential opens the door for one person. FACES2 watches who actually walks through. When an unknown individual follows a recognized employee inside, the system flags the event instantly, alerts security, and logs the video evidence.

Recognizes every face at the entry, not just the credential holder
Real-time alerts to security staff with the clip attached
Every event logged with time, door, and identity for audits
Time & Attendance

Timesheet actuals, no punch clock

The same crowd facial matching that catches tailgaters also captures timesheet and attendance actuals. Dual-lens entry cameras match every face moving in or out, so the live In/Out Board always shows who is on site and actual hours flow straight to payroll.

Crowd facial matching logs every in and out punch, hands free
Live In/Out Board shows who is on site right now, with late arrivals flagged

Dahua DH-IPC-HDBW5441FN-AS-E2 dual-lens dome, discreet enough to disappear into any ceiling. Independent lenses cover entry and exit at once, so a single camera tracks both directions for FACES2 crowd matching.

Capabilities

Every way in, under control

Secure Credentials

Encrypted JCOP smart cards and fobs resistant to cloning, managed centrally across sites.

Biometric Options

Face, palm, and fingerprint verification where security requirements demand more than a card.

Mobile & QR Access

Phones as credentials and QR codes for visitors and contractors, issued and revoked in seconds.

Modern Retrofit

Retrofit legacy hardware to modern cloud-based infrastructure.

Visitor Access

Pre registration, self serve check in, time limited credentials, and full visit records.

Centralized Management

Every door, credential, schedule, and event across all sites in one console.

Part of the Ecosystem

Access is the anchor

Doors are where identity, video, and incidents meet. FACES2 Access Control shares its events and credentials with the rest of the platform.
