Face recognition access control has often been met with skepticism, perceived as complex, intrusive, or too expensive, but the Salto XS4 Face aims to change all that.
Leveraging cutting-edge face recognition, Salto XS4 Face simplifies and secures access management without sacrificing privacy, security, flexibility, or user experience. Let’s explore how this innovative system is reshaping modern security and why it could be the ideal solution for your organization.
Advanced Face Recognition Security Without Storing Images
Privacy is a legitimate concern, and Salto XS4 Face addresses it head-on by ensuring that no access images are ever stored. Here’s how it works:
- When a user approaches the XS4 Face Terminal, an access image is captured.
- This image is instantly verified against an encrypted facial template (FIR) stored securely.
- Once verified, the captured access image is immediately deleted.
This approach eliminates the risk of image theft or misuse. Furthermore, built-in liveness detection thwarts spoofing attempts using photos, videos, or masks, ensuring that only genuine users gain access.
Fast and Remote Face Self-Enrolment
Forget about tedious, on-site user registration lines. The XS4 Face self-enrolment service enables remote enrolment via a secure web app:
- Users receive a one-time registration link.
- They take a quick selfie using their mobile device.
- Their encrypted template is created and ready for use within seconds.
This streamlined process significantly reduces administrative burden and scales effortlessly, making it perfect for large organizations or rapidly expanding teams.
Simplified Setup with No Complex Infrastructure
Adopting new technologies can often mean complicated setups and costly integrations, but not with Salto XS4 Face.
- Hardware installation is straightforward.
- Software configuration and commissioning are automated and user-friendly.
- No third-party software or additional integration is required—the entire system, including the algorithm, hardware, software, and ongoing support, comes from Salto.
- It works seamlessly with existing wireless electronic Salto door locks and building infrastructure.
The result? Faster deployments, reduced headaches for integrators, and quicker returns on investment. The software and hardware installation processes are fully automated, simplifying deployment and reducing manual work. To learn more, visit the XS4 Face Help & Support Portal.
