Advanced Anti-Piggybacking Technology - StereoVision.
StereoVision is an overhead sensor control system that uses a combination of optical and near-infrared sensors to prevent piggybacking / unauthorised entry in a security revolving door or mantrap portal. The technology measures the time it takes light to travel from the overhead system to an object in the compartment and back. In doing so, StereoVision can accurately tell the difference between two people entering at the same time vs. one person entering alone, even if the individual is carrying additional equipment such as a bag or suitcase. The sensor system is not affected by sunlight or reflections.
StereoVision Anti-Piggybacking Systems for Advanced Security
High security doors and portals provide access to authorised users while preventing access from unauthorised users. Through the use of access verification devices including biometrics, organisations can ensure only those given the proper credentials are allowed access to the secure areas of their buildings. Access control devices integrated with security doors can control both tailgating and piggybacking helping organisations comply with government regulations and provide a safe environment for employees, visitors and vendors.
StereoVision Sensor Access Control vs Weight Systems or Contact Mats
Another simple, yet very effective method to prevent piggybacking is to install weight systems or contact mats. These additional security technologies will detect a higher weight than your normal weight, and will deny access based on this conflict.
However, weight systems or contact mats will always deny access in case of higher weight. Regardless if the higher weight is due to one person carrying a heavy load or more people entering. StereoVision technology allows access to the first person and will deny access to more people entering. Furthermore, to install weight systems or contact mats, you may need floor excavation. Which is not always possible or favourable.
