1:1 or 1:N matching
Verify against one enrolled profile, or identify a person against a gallery of employees.
Biometric Access Control
Biometric Access Control for Facilities & Systems
Gate a door, a workstation, or a secure system behind a face-and-liveness check instead of (or alongside) a badge or password – running fully on-device, with no cloud round-trip to slow down entry.

Overview
Replacing or Reinforcing Badge-Based Access
Badges and PINs can be shared, lost, or stolen; a face-and-liveness check ties access directly to the person standing at the door or workstation. FacePlugin’s Face Recognition SDK runs natively on Android, iOS, Windows, and Linux, which makes it a fit for kiosk-style access panels, turnstiles, and workstation login prompts alike – the recognition and liveness check can run entirely on the device at the door, with no network dependency to a cloud matching service.
Liveness detection is the piece that actually makes this secure rather than just convenient: without it, a printed photo or a phone screen held up to the sensor could pass as a face match. FacePlugin pairs 1:1 or 1:N face matching with passive or active liveness checks so access decisions require a real, present person.

How It Works
A Typical Flow
1
Enroll
Capture and store a biometric template for each authorized person.
2
Scan
The person presents their face at the door, turnstile, or workstation.
3
Match & Unlock
A match-and-liveness result above your configured threshold triggers the unlock or login.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this need an internet connection to work?
No. Once licensed and deployed, the Face Recognition and Face Liveness Detection SDKs can run entirely on the local device or server at the access point, with no round-trip to a cloud service required for the match itself.
Can it identify someone against a list of employees (1:N), not just verify one person?
Yes – the SDK supports both 1:1 verification (does this face match this one profile?) and 1:N identification (which profile in a gallery does this face match?), so it fits both PIN-replacement verification and badge-free 1:N identification at a door.
What stops someone from using a photo of an authorized employee?
The Face Liveness Detection SDK runs alongside the match to confirm a live person is physically present, which is specifically what blocks printed-photo and screen-replay spoofing attempts.
