Camio Brings Automatic Tailgating Detection Using Existing Cameras to OnGuard
Tailgating (or “piggybacking”) is the most pervasive security threat today. Unauthorized people slipping through doors immediately behind authorized personnel compromises data/intellectual property, leads to thefts, and threatens employee safety. It’s a particularly challenging problem because serious security breaches are commingled with polite people holding doors for innocent guests and co-workers.
Camio real-time video search is a modern approach to the problem. Teaming with access control providers like Lenel, one of the largest providers of access control systems, Camio automatically detects tailgaters and enables in-progress intervention every time there is an unauthorized access event. Camio has received LenelS2 factory certification and is now part of the LenelS2™ OpenAccess Alliance Program (OAAP). Because Camio interfaces with OnGuard, Lenel’s open architected system supporting third-party systems and software, thousands of organizations worldwide can connect their Lenel readers to Camio in less than an hour using their existing cameras.
Advanced technologies for a simple solution
Leveraging AI and Machine Learning, Camio is a SaaS solution that turns standard 2D cameras into 3D sensors — without the cost and complexity of installing specialized devices for infrared, laser, or stereoscopic vision. Historically, security cameras had no intelligence to differentiate between people passing in the foreground and people walking through an entrance. Camio gives existing cameras a new sense of depth and understanding by segmenting and tracking people as they move on a 3D floor-plane grid that defines the areas inside and outside of each entrance.
Real-time alerts delivered to any device
Automatic detection is only part of the solution’s power. Each time the number of people passing through an entrance is greater than the number of people authorized to enter, Camio triggers a tailgating alert. Alerts are sent automatically to authorized personnel — and optionally to the people involved in the tailgating incident — and can be viewed from any browser on any device. Investigations are as fast as a Google search, using simple, natural language to find and review tailgating, entry ajar, and door forced open incidents. Intuitive dashboards highlight problem access areas and reveal long-term trends.
From SOC 2 compliance to door alarm triage
Camio is being used with OnGuard at leading universities, insurance companies, manufacturers, and tech companies worldwide. Applications range from SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA and related regulatory compliance to visual verification of door alarms (~93% of ajar/forced open alarms are false alerts). COVID-19 contact tracing is 6x faster with the combination of indexed access control events and social distancing detection. Camio employs the most advanced security techniques such as TLS encryption with Perfect Forward Secrecy and 256-bit AES encrypted storage to meet the most stringent IT requirements. Remote access is secure with no open inbound network ports and Camio operates securely by isolating the camera network from the corporate network.
Building a culture of security
Whether a tailgating incident is an innocent act of kindness or a serious breach, the offender can be sent an automated email tailored to a company’s culture. Notifications help enforce security policy and demonstrate safeguards for regulatory compliance and certifications.
It’s impossible to have a secure environment when you’re not sure who is on the premises. Access control solutions are the first line of defense. But they can’t measure what they can’t see to provide real-time information and empower security and management teams to take action. Camio puts cameras to work to identify and understand the problems that warrant human attention. The platform learns continuously to expedite video review for 50 times greater efficiency through 90% fewer false positives and five times faster search. That’s good for security and good for business.
