Dugmore & Duncan Adds Control iD Facial Access Control to Expand Secure Entry Options
Smarter, touchless access for secure entry points.
Dugmore & Duncan is pleased to announce that we now offer Control iD facial access control as part of our growing portfolio of electronic security and access-control technologies.
Access control isn't one-size-fits-all. Depending on the facility, opening, security requirements, and users, the right solution may include mechanical keys, cards, fobs, PINs, mobile credentials—or increasingly, facial identification. Control iD's facial access control technology gives organizations another option for managing secure entry, using facial identification to quickly authenticate registered users and grant access based on predefined permissions.
Where Facial Access Control Fits
Rather than replacing traditional credentials, facial identification can complement an existing access control strategy or provide an alternative for specific applications where convenience, speed, or touchless entry is beneficial.
Potential benefits include:
● Touchless identification – Users can be authenticated without physically presenting a credential.
● Convenience for frequent users – Employees or other authorized personnel don't need to retrieve a card or enter a PIN at designated openings.
● Liveness detection – Control iD incorporates facial liveness detection to help verify that the individual requesting access is physically present.
● Flexible access permissions – Access can be configured according to schedules, departments, user groups, and other requirements.
● Multiple credential options – Depending on the configuration, Control iD solutions can also support cards, PINs, passwords, and QR codes.
● Scalable technology – Control iD offers facial identification solutions designed for facilities with different user populations and access requirements.
The Right Credential for the Right Application
Mechanical key systems remain a fundamental component of physical security, while electronic credentials such as cards and fobs provide proven solutions for many access control applications. Facial identification adds another option when the environment and security objectives make biometric access beneficial.
For schools and universities, healthcare facilities, municipal buildings, offices, and commercial properties, that could mean using facial identification at select entrances or secured areas while continuing to use traditional credentials throughout the rest of the facility.
The goal isn't to replace proven access control methods. It's to select the right technology for each opening and build those technologies into a cohesive security strategy.
Supporting a Complete Door Opening Solution
At Dugmore & Duncan, we help organizations evaluate their facilities, identify the appropriate credential technologies, and integrate mechanical and electronic access control into a complete door opening solution.
