Gunnebo Entrance Control launches HiSec Nova with new detection, drive and system intelligence technologies

Gunnebo Entrance Control has launched HiSec Nova, a new security portal introducing three newly developed technologies covering occupancy detection, drive control and system intelligence.

Developed for environments where organizations require effective control of authorized entrance without the need for ballistic or attack-rated protection, HiSec Nova combines advanced detection capabilities with a compact footprint together with simplified installation and servicing.

Says Emiliano Ciantra, Product Manager at Gunnebo Entrance Control: "HiSec Nova was developed from the ground up around three priorities: detection accuracy, aesthetic design and ease of ownership. We wanted to take a fresh look at how a security portal performs, how it is maintained and how it can be integrated into different environments. The result is a system that simplifies installation and servicing while delivering the levels of detection and control organizations expect from an advanced security portal."

At the center of the system is Visira, a newly developed detection technology available in two configurations. Using high-density digital sensing technology and engineered algorithms, Visira verifies occupancy within the portal to support accurate single person detection.

For applications requiring enhanced analysis, Visira Omni combines dual-camera technology with AI-driven image analytics to deliver volumetric 3D passage analysis and accurate people counting. Unlike traditional volume-based systems, it can distinguish between individuals and carried items, helping to maintain detection accuracy in more complex access scenarios.

HiSec Nova also introduces SmoothDrive, a newly developed drive mechanism engineered to improve portal operation and long-term performance. The system delivers controlled, near-silent movement, while integrated impact detection contributes to both user safety and system durability.

Supporting these technologies is NexusCore, a new electronics architecture that processes information in milliseconds, enabling rapid system responses while coordinating sensing, control and mechanical functions throughout the portal.

Emiliano concluded: "The development of HiSec Nova provided an opportunity to rethink several of the core technologies that sit behind security portal performance. By bringing together new approaches, we have been able to enhance performance while simplifying installation, servicing and day-to-day operation.

"We also wanted to reduce complexity for the teams responsible for installing and maintaining the system. By improving access to key electrical and mechanical components, HiSec Nova supports faster installation, simpler servicing and reduced maintenance requirements over the lifetime of the portal."
