Visitor Management and Access Control using Face Recognition System (FRS)

Shaheen AI covers all phases of the premises access solution. The figure below provides a summary of the employee as well as visitor engagement via FRS based entry and tracking

Features overview

Visitor arrival and registration

Visitors can pre-register via weblink or register at the front desk. Visitors can use a smartphone camera, laptop camera or front-desk kiosk to register their face. Visitor groups also can be managed on a single host invite. Once registered, the backend database can setup access rules like timing, entry points, and keep out locations.

Pre-arrival registration

Register biometrics before arrival via weblink.

Walk-in registration

Koisk module to accept registrations on-arrival.

Support for visitor groups

Visitor groups can be managed in a single invite.

Host notification on arrival

Host is notified by SMS/Email on visitor arrival.

Quick access using QR code

Pre-registered visitors can enter using QRcode scanning.

Visitor on-premise features

Wi-Fi-guest portal access is a part of the completion of registration, enabling seamless connectivity for visitors. Visitors, contractors or employees to new office locations can be provided with wayfinding services in real-time. This allows the person to locate the meeting rooms, printers, and washrooms effortlessly. Additionally, in case of emergencies visitors can be provided with evacuation guidance via SMS, email or through the captive portal:

Guest Wi-Fi access control

Automatic provisioning of Wi-Fi access for visit duration.

Utilities access via API integrations

Manage access to utilities such as lockers via APIs.

Wayfinding to meeting rooms and utilities

Wayfinding from current location using QR Code scan.

Emergency alerts to visitors & host

During emergencies, alert via SMS, email, call.

Security and surveillance

Security is one of the key reasons to deploy the Shaheen AI FRS-based visitor management system. Besides the registration and access control component, Shaheen AI further enhances your physical security via the following:

Blacklist visitors and prevent access

Prevent appointments for visitors who are blacklisted.

Alert on face detection of blacklisted person

Send alerts to host/company if blacklisted face detected.

Monitor visitor movement on-premise

Monitor on-premise movement of visitor from entry to exit.

Define No-Go zones for restricted access

Get alerts if person is seen in restricted areas.

Reports and Dashboard

Included in the solution is a comprehensive set of reports and real-time dashboard information that covers the following:

Real-Time visitor presence & count

Know which and how many visitors are on-premise.

Historical data, repeat visitors, timelines

Descriptive analytics of historical visitor data.

Export data to CSV, Excel, PDF formats

Get automated daily, weekly, monthly reports as needed.

Integration with Digital Twin

Integrate and display data on digital twins if implemented.

Technical Architecture and Highlights

The FRS-based visitor management solution by Shaheen AI relies on the Shaheen Vision, Shaheen Manage and Shaheen Insights modules of the Shaheen AI platform. Below is the network architecture for the vision controller (Shaheen) and the cameras.

The Shaheen is the central intelligence layer that keeps track of all the meta data and actionable components. This is where the entire integration with the door access/badging system occurs, along with the central database of visitor and employee verification. The core architecture of Shaheen is a high scalable approach, allowing it to run on premise, at enterprises, sites or in a cloud environment.

The figure below provides a high level view of the structure that showcases the ease of integration, both from a camera ingest point to the ability to ‘push’ actions to a variety of different systems.

Some of the key highlights of the Shaheen AI platform is around data privacy and storage. The data collected from the various on-premise services, customer facial biometrics, demographics, and behavioral data is merged and consolidated into a unified view. The data is secured against unauthorized access or data breaches using modern security functionality like TLS transport, RBAC functionality, and other capabilities. There is further integration done with existing security functions to ensure full compliance with regulations.
