Access control systems allow entry to specific areas to be regulated - usually by an individual swiping a card or electronic key to gain access via a turnstile or door. Irisys’ high accuracy thermal imaging technology detects individuals by their body heat – adding an extra layer of intelligent security.
Most access control systems cannot control the number of people who enter the secure premises - seriously weakening the integrity of the system. When authorised personnel enter through an access control point, it is easy for a person without a card/key to follow them inside. This is known as tailgating.

Thermal sensors receive a signal from the access control system for every card/key holder accepted at an access control point; this is then compared with the number of people entering with valid cards. If a person tries to gain access without presenting a valid card/key, a tailgate alarm is raised.
Benefits of access control tailgate detection:
Increased security at access control points
Detection of unauthorised entry
Enforces the use of a valid card/key
Monitors compliance with access control policies
Improves roll call accuracy by providing information on number of card holder entries
