Match a face against your own watch list
Faces on live cameras are matched against the lists your own security team builds and maintains, across a terminal's cameras rather than one at a time. It runs on your hardware inside your own network.

Overview
Keep people moving while protecting restricted areas
Keep passengers moving while protecting restricted areas, monitoring how busy each area is, and finding people in recorded footage.
An airport needs to move large numbers of people through efficiently while keeping restricted areas accessible only to authorised people.
The checks below work with the cameras already installed, helping alerts reach staff while they are still useful.

What FaceOff checks in airports
What this sector asks for most often. Each one runs at the moment a decision is being made, and each returns a result a reviewer can explain to somebody else.
Watch a restricted area continuously
Airside doors, stands, baggage halls and anywhere else that should stay closed can be marked, and entry by somebody who should not be there raises an alert straight away. The area stays watched whether or not anybody is looking at that particular screen, which is the entire point of an alert.
Notice a crowd before it becomes a problem
A security queue, a gate hold room and an arrivals hall each get their own limit and are monitored across several cameras at once, and the area is named when numbers pass that limit. Crowd safety depends on acting early, and early means before the problem is obvious from the control room.
Find somebody in recorded footage without a name
Recorded video can be searched for a person by the clothing they were wearing and the bags they were carrying, returning a snapshot and a record for each person found. A search can run when no name or personal detail is known, which is almost always the situation in the hour after an incident.
Add this to the cameras you already have
These run on an estate that already exists rather than requiring a new one, and a survey checks camera models and mounting distances beforehand and flags positions that may not give a suitable view. More than one check can share the same coverage, so an area can be watched for crowding and for entry at the same time.
Keep an officer deciding, and keep the record
A match arrives as a shortlist of candidates for an officer to accept or reject rather than as an instruction to stop somebody, and the officer's verdict is stored with the alert. What the system did and what a person decided are both on the record afterwards.
Where it is used
What FaceOff runs in airports
Every entry names a product on this site and describes it the way its own page does.
Matching a face against a watch list
CrossCam PersonTrack matches faces on live cameras against the watch lists you build, and an officer reviews each match rather than accepting it.
Protecting a restricted area
SecureZone Monitor raises an alert the moment someone enters an area they should not be in.
Watching how busy an area is getting
CrowdSentinel AI gives each area its own limit and names the area when numbers go past it.
Finding someone in recorded footage
AnonymousPersonID searches recorded footage for a person by the clothing they wore and the bags they carried.
