Access control

Managing building and property access with video analytics

Streamline access control and management

To control who has access to a building, premises or other property, you have to be sure that only authorised individuals gain entry. Scanning badges, passes or other forms of user ID is one way to manage it; biometrics is another approach. You want the access control process to be accurate — to maintain a high degree of security and protection. But you also need it to be efficient, to avoid delaying those who are authorised to enter.

The pandemic has added another dimension to access control: as well as keeping premises secure, organisations want to check that only people who are healthy gain entry, to limit the potential spread of infection and help keep employees safe.

With Konica Minolta video analytics solutions, you can streamline all of these access controls — and more. Our solutions combine smart IoT-based Mobotix video cameras with artificial intelligence (AI) to perform screening and monitoring, and measure and analyse what they see against pre-defined thresholds or other criteria. An intelligent video analytics solution does away with the need for continuous human monitoring — the operator is notified by the audio (or other alert) when action needs to be taken.

Customer success stories

During the pandemic, we helped customers like Würth Hungary and Primus Foundation Schools to keep people safe with efficient, non-invasive temperature screening solutions based on Mobotix cameras with thermal imaging capability. Primus Foundation Schools used the system to screen the temperature of its 600 students, 100 staff and all visitors smoothly and unobtrusively. Würth replaced a time-consuming manual measurement process for its warehouse staff with a video analytics solution that also integrates with its existing entry system.

Customer benefits

Using video analytics solutions streamlines access control and temperature screening processes, shortens waiting times at the entrance to a premises, and saves on surveillance resources. Where temperature screening is involved, using cameras both accelerates the process and reduces risk compared with taking temperatures manually, as it removes the need for close personal contact.
