A common problem suffered with all access control systems is the practice of following a valid user through an open door - known as tailgating.
Tailgating is one of the biggest threats to a secure environment, particularly in larger offices, facilities or public buildings with large numbers of people, where it becomes virtually impossible for employees to be expected to recognise each other. The choice of technology used must take these issues into account, balancing appearance and usability, with safety, easy disabled access, and security.

The Tailgating Threat

Tailgating is one of the biggest threats to a secure environment, particularly in larger offices, facilities or public buildings with large numbers of people, where it becomes virtually impossible for employees to be expected to recognise each other. The choice of technology used must take these issues into account, balancing appearance and usability, with safety, easy disabled access, and security.

G4S Security Systems can offer a high security tailgate detector which is designed to increase the level of security at any door which uses an access control system.

Fastlane® Door Detective

Fastlane Door Detective is designed to increase the level of security at any door that uses access control. Door Detective creates an infra-red field across a doorway to monitor the passage of every individual entering and leaving through that door. In the event of an unauthorised entry the system will provide local and remote indications to alert the individual concerned and security.

Additionally the system can lock doors and trigger cameras to monitor illegal transactions and ensure events are recorded for later analysis. This ensures only one person gains access through a secured door for each valid card transaction, thereby providing improved security at any standard door where access control is employed.

Advantages:

• Detects all unauthorised entry attempts
• Increases the security of access-controlled doors, even when open
• Integrates seamlessly with all door hardware
• Local alarm sounder and remote alarm output
• Compact aesthetic design
• Like having a guard at the door, 24/7
