ELIDEye

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. Unfortunately, standard access control systems are not designed to tackle this problem. ELID Eye is an AI-powered visual anti-tailgate device that can be seamlessly integrated with your standard access control system to detect and alert against tailgating offences, hence providing enhanced security.

  • 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

 

How It Works

Once installed, ElidEye autonomously trains and adapts itself, learning detailed information about the environment and appearance of people within the field of view. This is done by applying state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning algorithms to the video feed acquired by the built-in camera module. Subsequently, ElidEye detects and tracks all people within the field of view, thereby determining whether a person is entering or exiting the secure area. It checks the number of entering people against the number of valid entries and permits only a single authorized person to enter between a door open-door close cycle. If the aforementioned rule is violated, the system triggers an alarm. Equipped with a powerful quad-core processor, ElidEye is able to perform all these complex operations and precisely detect tailgating, piggybacking and crossing, in real-time.

Tailgate Offenses

Response Options

  • Annunciator – An alarm may be triggered such as a bell, buzzer or a pre-recorded voice clip
  • Image Capture – Take snapshots of the tailgating offence
  • Video Recording – Record a short clip of the tailgating offence

Highlights

HIGHLIGHT 1

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.

 

HIGHLIGHT 2

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.

 

HIGHLIGHT 3

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.

Features

  • 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
  • Affordable : AI-powered rather than using expensive mantrap vestibules, turnstiles or electronic sensor beams
  • Non-intrusive: Mounted on the ceiling. Employees are unaware of its existence except when an alarm is triggered in response to a tailgating offence
  • Easy Installation and Compatibility: Effortless integration with most access controllers, requiring only the valid entry and door sensor signals
  • Enforces proper card/fingerprint usage : Encourages employees to adhere to proper access control protocols
