Integration of Intelligent Video and Security Access

[Guest]

We are looking for a software recommendation for a security access door. We need the software to track the number of persons entering the security door along with how many have swiped their access card. Can an intelligent software solution be created that can track the number of persons on screen along with how close they are to each other? We are looking to track tailgators.

I'm actually interested in this as well. I heard it is possible and that there are add-ons for video analytics software that will allow you to integrate it into a security access point.

At least one supplier of Analytics has a good integration to a variety of electronic access control systems. They know when a valid card is read and can count the number of people who come throught the door in order to prevent tailgating or piggybacking. One key to having this work properly is the camera placement. It must avoid occulsion of the people coming through the door.

Honeywell are a major Access Control player (Win-Pak etc) and I know that they are integrating the Active Eye video analytics product with others from their security product offerings

I have seen this done by Ipsotek on a Channel 4 documentary last year. It was called Civil Liberties or something similar.

They showed it working on London Underground.

i3dvr has an integration with card access panel that will allow you to both analytics and card access on the same machine. See. www.i3dvr.com for more info
