Newton Security, Inc. Provides Tailgate Prevention Alarm and Recording System

for Washington, D.C.’s Reagan National Airport

New security measure uses three-dimensional stereo video to prevent unauthorized entries.

Seattle, WA---July 7, 2003—Washington, D.C.’s Reagan National Airport recently upgraded its internal security system with the installation of the patent-pending T-DAR^® (Tailgate Detection Alarm Recording) system, created by Newton Security Inc. T-DAR^® detects and prevents the two most common forms of illegal access in restricted areas: tailgating and piggybacking.

Tailgating is the act of an unauthorized person slipping through a door after an authorized person. Piggybacking occurs when an authorized person holds a protected door open for another person that he or she knows or perceives to have authorized access. This piggybacking act completely removes the authorization system from the process and circumvents a security system’s ability to reject a revoked or counterfeit pass or badge.

The tailgating/piggybacking solution installed at Reagan National Airport utilizes vestibules equipped with a T-DAR^® system. These vestibules are constructed with glass walls and a second door assembly around an existing access controlled door. The T-DAR^® system acts as a traffic cop, ensuring that both doors are not opened at the same time and that only one authorized person is in the vestibule when access is granted. Once the access control reader, located on the inside of the vestibule, has been activated the T-DAR^® system locks the public-side glass door electronically. In less than one second the system analyzes the vestibule for the presence of only one person, making the transaction transparent to the end user and having virtually no impact on throughput. Additionally, this configuration meets the local and national requirements for life safety and emergency egress.

“This application of the T-DAR^® system is an excellent example of the way modern high-technology solutions can dramatically improve Homeland Security,” said John W. Bramblet, President and CEO of Newton Security Inc. “T-DAR^® not only provides alarm conditions when an unauthorized person attempts to enter a controlled area, but also captures valuable visual documentation that can be accessed and acted upon immediately. It can also detect a second person in the area of the protected doorway and it prevents even authorized personnel from opening a controlled access doorway if there is another person in the protected area,” Bramblet added.

Newton Security, Inc.'s machine-vision technology combines stereo cameras with software designed to enable a computer to "see" its surroundings and then react appropriately. The T-DAR^® system is available worldwide through Newton Security, Inc.'s integration partners: Honeywell, Johnson Controls, Inc., Siemens Building Technologies, Inc., and ADT Security Services, Inc., a unit of Tyco Fire and Safety Services.
