SECURITY & AI
Face Scanner Security System
Python facial recognition at facility entrances with OpenCV encoding, FastAPI verification, and PostgreSQL-backed access logs.
Representative interface preview
The Challenge
Manual verification at high-throughput gates
Borrowed or shared credentials hard to detect quickly
No photo-backed audit of access attempts
Visitor flows handled on paper
Need for sub-second feedback at the turnstile
The Approach
Compared face_recognition and OpenCV detection paths
Built enrollment flow with quality checks on photos
Tuned similarity thresholds with security stakeholders
Integrated relay signals to existing door controllers
Piloted one entrance before expanding hardware coverage
The Solution
Live camera capture at lanes
Configurable confidence threshold
Admin UI for roster and re-enrollment
Attempt log with timestamps and snapshots
Visitor pass workflow with expiry
Mobile review for flagged events
Technical Implementation
Implementation
Hundreds of employee encodings collected with consent
Pilot accuracy review before broad rollout
Door controller integration on successful match
Security dashboard for exceptions
