Piggybacking/Tailgating

Detection Alarm Recording

Even when the right people with the right credentials are allowed to go through the right doors, the wrong things can happen. That's because friend and foe alike are too often able to slip through supposedly secure portals by "piggybacking" or "tailgating" through the door behind the credentialed employee. Such a low-tech loophole can even outsmart high-tech smart cards designed to boost security by authenticating via biometric signature that the cardholder has access to the secure area.

T-DAR^® Tailgate Detection, Alarm & Recording System
The patent pending Newton Security T-DAR^® system is a powerful tailgating and piggybacking detection and prevention system that can be seamlessly integrated with a electronic access control system to provide the highest levels of control over who enters the secure areas of your facility. This unique system utilizes stereo machine vision analysis in an overhead perspective to accurately count the number of persons passing through a given portal after a valid access signal while allowing for carts, parcels and other non-human objects to pass unannounced. This product establishes a 5’ by 5’ square field of protection that is configured to determine the direction of travel of persons passing through the access-controlled portal into the protected area. In the event of an unauthorized entry the T-DAR^® annunciates locally via a voice/strobe light Annunciator and remotely via event video playback and alarm contact closure.
