INTRODUCTION
Tailgating/Piggybacking
Access control systems are the heart of most security systems. From
smart cards to fingerprinting and even iris recognition technology, there are
many different systems in place to restrict access to secure areas. But there
is one way to completely bypass every one of these systems - with the simple
act of holding the door open. Some people do this out of politeness, while
others are unknowingly followed through these secure doors by unauthorized
persons. All access control systems, regardless of the technology used, are
vulnerable to this problem.
T-DAR
®
Solution
Newton’s patented
T-DAR
®
system uses sophisticated three-
dimensional optical imaging to detect Piggybacking and Tailgating through
secure portals. The Newton T-DAR system detects persons and differentiates
them from carts or other objects in or around the secure side of the portal and
then utilities Newton's sophisticated Stereo Machine Vision technology to
identify and tag each human within the field of view of the tracking (overhead)
camera. It maintains that tag on that person so long as he or she (or some
portion of the person) remains in the view of the camera. That information is
then combined with the data provided by the access device, door contacts
and other input data to determine if the tagged person is a legal transit or is
tailgating / piggybacking.
Once the status of a person is determined to not be a legal transit but
to be tailgating or piggybacking, the T-DAR system then actuates any number
of possible results, all controlled and selected from an easy to use User
Interface. These alarms range from local alarm sirens, flashing lights and
voice annunciation through remote alarm, real-time delivery of video of the
event to security forces, activation of internal or existing DVR systems and
physical events such as the locking of other doors to prevent the intruder from
further penetrating the secure area.
When the T-DAR system is used in conjunction with physical barriers
such as security portals, mantraps and security revolving doors, the system
can prevent tailgating/piggybacking as well as detecting and alarming on
those occurrences. In addition to the model described in this manual, other
models of the T-DAR system are available for use in:
