Sentinel Access · Biometrics
Sentinel Access delivers real-time biometric access control based on advanced facial recognition—engineered for precision, speed, and reliability, with decisions in milliseconds.
Technology
Purpose-built facial recognition for access decisions—accuracy, privacy, and unbiased operation at the core.
Sentinel Access harnesses in-house AVA-X models to identify individuals quickly and reliably—ideal for high-security environments. We prioritise accuracy, privacy-by-design, and fair, unbiased operation across demographics.

Context
Badges, RFID, fingerprints, and vein scanners each carry trade-offs—from security gaps to hygiene and admin overhead.
Physical credentials can be lost, stolen, or duplicated, creating security risks.

Manual checks and card-based systems create bottlenecks and delays at entry points.

Touch-based systems like keypads and fingerprint scanners raise hygiene issues, especially post-pandemic.

Traditional systems require complex credential management, with high administrative overhead.

Sentinel Access addresses these issues with contactless, hygienic verification. Facial recognition removes physical credentials, reduces administrative overhead, and verifies in milliseconds—cutting bottlenecks while keeping a clear audit trail.
