Product Overview: Herta Security BioCom
Herta Security’s BioCom is a robust and versatile facial recognition and access control solution designed to integrate seamlessly with various third-party systems and devices. Here’s a detailed overview of what BioCom does and its key features.
What BioCom Does
BioCom is a core component of Herta Security’s facial recognition suite, enabling advanced face detection, identification, and access control. It utilizes face biometrics to identify users from access control lists, verify identities, and manage user access to secured locations such as offices and restricted areas.
Key Features and Functionality
Facial Recognition and Detection
- BioCom employs high-performance facial recognition algorithms that can identify users even with partial occlusions of the face, such as glasses, scarfs, or caps, and moderate rotations of the face. It ensures over 90% accuracy in facial recognition even when face masks are worn.
- The system includes face detection and identification capabilities, triggering events such as access grants or alerts based on detected or identified faces.
Integration Capabilities
- BioCom features a communications module that integrates Herta software with third-party systems. This includes integration with door controllers like the AXIS A1001, where the BioCom TCP server sends real-time alarm information to control doors based on identified faces.
- It supports integration with various video management systems (VMS) such as Wavestore, allowing for real-time facial recognition and event management across multiple cameras and devices.
Real-Time Analysis and Alerts
- BioCom provides real-time analysis, ensuring no delays in processing facial recognition data. It can handle large databases efficiently, performing 100 million comparisons in less than one second.
- The system can send real-time information to a listening server when it detects or identifies a face, enabling immediate action such as triggering alarms or opening doors.
User Management and Enrollment
- BioCom allows for user management and enrollment on-the-fly through video capture. It includes tools for the automatic incorporation of a large number of subjects into the database and supervised mode enrollment.
- The system supports external visualization modules and mobile apps that detect, enroll, and identify subjects in real-time, enhancing remote monitoring and control.
Security and Anti-Spoofing
- BioCom includes AI-based algorithms for liveness detection, providing an anti-spoofing system that protects against potential threats such as impersonation using photographs.
Hardware Flexibility
- The solution offers hardware flexibility, allowing it to be adapted to various projects using either CPU or GPU, and supporting edge computing for low-cost and high-speed face recognition.
Additional Modules and Capabilities
- BioSurveillance: A central management application for facial recognition in non-crowded environments, which synchronizes data across all Herta solutions and devices, even in the absence of a network connection.
- Wiegand Integration: Enables the opening of doors and turnstiles for smooth access control.
- Mask Detection: Ensures that individuals accessing premises are wearing face masks, contributing to a safe environment.
In summary, Herta Security’s BioCom is a powerful facial recognition and access control solution that offers advanced integration capabilities, real-time analysis, robust security features, and flexible hardware options, making it an ideal choice for various access control and surveillance applications.
