All use cases

Physical Access Control

Replace badges, key cards, and PINs with face recognition. Walk up, get recognized, walk through. Frictionless and secure.

The Problem

Badges get lost. PINs get shared. Keys get copied.

Traditional access control systems are easy to circumvent and expensive to manage. Lost badges need replacement. Shared PINs create security holes. Visitor sign-in sheets are slow and unreliable. And you never really know who entered your building.

The Solution

Your face is your credential

OpenBiometrics turns any camera into an access control point. Enroll authorized people once, then recognize them in real-time as they approach. Sub-second identification with 99.86% accuracy. Works with existing door controllers via webhooks or direct GPIO integration.

How it works

1

Enroll

Register authorized personnel by uploading a photo or capturing one on-site. The system creates a face embedding and stores it in a watchlist.

2

Detect

A camera at the entrance captures faces in real-time. OpenBiometrics detects every face in the frame, even in challenging lighting conditions.

3

Identify

Each detected face is compared against the watchlist using FAISS-powered vector search. Matches are returned in under 50ms, even with thousands of enrolled faces.

4

Grant Access

On a positive match, a webhook fires to your access control system to unlock the door. Full audit trail with timestamps, photos, and confidence scores.
