An effective security access control system is a crucial first line of defence in safeguarding your building, assets, and the safety of all occupants. It helps to manage who can enter your premises and ensures that only authorised personnel are granted access. By investing in a smart security access control system, you can rest assured knowing that

By investing in a smart security access control system, you can be assured of:

• Easy identification of individuals on your property, providing a streamlined and secure way to confirm the identity of anyone attempting to enter.
• Swift resolution of any security issues that may arise, enabling a quick and accurate response to potential threats or breaches.
    

At Johnson Controls, we are committed to maximising safety, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring seamless business continuity. We continuously innovate to offer cutting-edge security solutions tailored to your needs. Our services encompass everything from traditional access controls to advanced intruder prevention systems, from high-definition video surveillance to robust cybersecurity measures - all designed to protect your people, facilities, and assets.

One of the cornerstones of our comprehensive security offerings is access facial recognition technology, which takes access control to the next level. By integrating sophisticated biometric identification systems, we enable the recognition of unique physical attributes, such as facial features, to verify an individual’s identity. This biometric system provides a higher level of security and convenience by eliminating the need for physical access cards or cumbersome keypad codes.

With facial recognition technology, you can now experience the future of access control. Our advanced, secure, and personalised biometric solutions ensure that only authorised individuals can gain entry, significantly enhancing the security and efficiency of your building’s access points. Whether it's for corporate offices, healthcare facilities, or high-security environments, our facial recognition systems offer a seamless, contactless, and reliable method for controlling access, all while maintaining privacy and user-friendly operation.

Investing in our facial recognition-powered access control systems means you’re not just keeping up with the future of security - you’re staying ahead of it.

Biometric facial recognition is an effective touch-free access control solution.  Used to verify authorised users entering controlled areas of warehouses, factories or offices. . Used to verify authorised users entering controlled areas of warehouses, factories or offices. Access facial recognition is fast becoming popular in a range of industries and works by

• Capturing an image of an individual’s face
• Reading the geometry of the face, assessing aspects including facial landmarks and the distance between features, to determine a ‘facial signature’
• Comparing and analysing the unique signature to a database of known faces
• Granting or denying access based on whether there is a database match

Advantages are vast, and include:

• Faster performance compared to other biometric technologies
  Facial recognition technology offers unparalleled speed when compared to other biometric solutions such as fingerprint or retina scans. It eliminates the need for physical contact or precise alignment, enabling quick and seamless identification. Whether it’s scanning a single individual or managing high-traffic entry points, facial recognition provides instantaneous verification, reducing delays and improving overall user experience.
   
• More efficient than traditional access control methods
  Traditional access control systems such as PIN codes or passwords often require multiple steps, increasing time and effort. Facial recognition streamlines this process by reducing the number of touchpoints, providing faster and more reliable access. Users no longer need to input lengthy passwords or worry about remembering codes, resulting in a smoother and more efficient entry experience. This not only enhances security but also minimises bottlenecks in high-usage areas .
   
• Easy integration with existing systems
  Facial recognition is a well-established technology that seamlessly integrates with modern access control systems and infrastructure. As it is already widely adopted in most smartphones and smart devices, organisations can easily implement and scale the solution without requiring significant overhauls or costly upgrades. Its compatibility and adaptability make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their current security measures.
   
• A highly convenient and contactless solution
  Facial recognition eliminates the need for physical keys, access cards, or cumbersome PINs that can easily be lost, stolen, or compromised. Users no longer have to manage multiple passwords or carry items that might be forgotten. This contactless solution provides a hassle-free experience while ensuring maximum convenience and safety. Its touch-free nature also makes it particularly valuable in promoting hygiene in shared environments, such as offices, hospitals, and public facilities
