Face recognition access control has traditionally been met with hesitation — often viewed as complex, intrusive, or prohibitively expensive. But with the launch of Salto XS4 Face, everything is changing.
Face recognition access control has traditionally been met with hesitation — often viewed as complex, intrusive, or prohibitively expensive. But with the launch of Salto XS4 Face, everything is changing.
Salto XS4 Face leverages cutting-edge face recognition to simplify and secure access management without compromising privacy, security, flexibility, or user experience. Let’s dive into why this innovative system is reshaping modern security and why it might just be the perfect solution for your organization.
Advanced face recognition security without storing images
Privacy concerns are real — and rightly so. Salto XS4 Face addresses this head-on by never storing access images. Here’s how it works:
- When a user approaches the XS4 Face Terminal it captures an access image.
- This image is instantly verified against an encrypted facial template (FIR) stored securely.
- Once verified, the captured access image is immediately deleted.
This approach eliminates the risk of image theft or misuse. Plus, built-in liveness detection prevents spoofing attacks from photos, videos, or masks, ensuring only genuine users gain access.
Fast and remote face self-enrolment
Gone are the days of tedious, on-site user registration queues. XS4 Face self-enrolment service enables remote enrolment via a secure web app:
- Users receive a one-time registration link.
- They take a quick selfie from their own mobile device.
- Their encrypted template is created and ready to use within seconds.
This streamlined process significantly reduces admin burden and scales effortlessly — ideal for large organizations or rapidly growing teams.
Simplified setup with no complex infrastructure
Adopting new technologies can often mean complicated setups and costly integrations. Not with Salto XS4 Face.
- The hardware installation is straightforward.
- Software configuration and commissioning are automated and user-friendly.
- No third-party software or additional integration is required — the entire system, including algorithm, hardware, software, and ongoing support, comes from Salto.
- Works with existing wireless electronic Salto door locks and building infrastructure
This results in faster deployments, reduced headaches for integrators, and quicker returns on investment. The Software and Hardware installation processes are fully automated, simplifying deployment and reducing manual work. To learn more about visit XS4 Face Help & Support Portal.
