Daxko and Camio have joined forces to safeguard fitness clubs by automating unauthorized entry detection to ensure member safety and revenue recovery.

1 of 2 people entering a fitness club is detected as unauthorized as shown in the red bounding box.
Camio AI counts the people entering the gym and compares that with Daxko’s access granted count to detect unauthorized guests.

The solution works with the existing Daxko Facility Access systems and security cameras, so fitness clubs can be up and running in an hour.

“Camio made it simple to detect unauthorized guests automatically using our existing security cameras. It’s a really convenient way to ensure our members and facilities are well-protected while also recovering lost guest fees and welcoming new members.”
— Mike Gudierian, VP Operations and Facilities, The Alaska Club

How it works

Camio uses Artificial Intelligence to detect and count each person that enters the facility. No new cameras, door readers, or wiring are needed. A small Camio Box (about the size of a deck of cards) connects to any open Ethernet port in the back office of the club.

Camio software counts the number of people that enter that gym and compares that to the information from your access control system. If there is a discrepancy, Camio sends an alert along with video of the event to authorized personnel.
  1. Daxko Facility Access (powered by Brivo) relays access granted events to Camio (cloud-to-cloud, without any new wiring).
  2. Camio AI analyzes the video stream of the camera with a view of the door to count the people that entered the facility and compare that count with the number of access granted events.
  3. Camio sends an alert to authorized personnel each time an unauthorized entry is detected. The email includes a link to the associated video event that can be forwarded to the member involved to either collect a guest fee or welcome a new member.

Cost and ROI

At $125/door per month, Camio pays for itself in the first 6 tailgating incidents each month. Most gyms collect an average of $1,600 in guest fees each month — even after reducing tailgating and adding new members.
