    Visual Access Control Compliance Monitoring

    For facilities with 100+ access points. Monitor access compliance with visual verification. 99% tailgating detection, 85% reduction in unauthorized access.

    Who It's For

    Corporate security teams, data centers, and regulated facilities requiring strict access control compliance and audit trails

    Problem Solved

    Badge systems cannot detect tailgating, credential sharing, or forced entry. Compliance audits require visual verification that badge logs cannot provide

    Why Mixpeek

    99% tailgating detection accuracy, 85% reduction in unauthorized access incidents, and complete visual audit trail

    Overview

    Badge systems alone cannot ensure access compliance. This use case shows how Mixpeek adds visual verification to access control.

    Challenges This Solves

    Tailgating

    Unauthorized individuals follow badge holders through doors

    Impact: Badge logs show one entry, multiple people enter

    Credential Sharing

    Badges used by unauthorized individuals

    Impact: Access logs do not reflect actual access

    Audit Requirements

    Compliance requires proof of who accessed areas

    Impact: Badge logs insufficient for audit defense

    Propped Doors

    Doors held open bypass access control entirely

    Impact: Complete loss of access control during events

    Implementation Steps

    Mixpeek analyzes video at access points to verify authorized access, detect tailgating, identify anomalies, and create visual audit trails

    1

    Monitor Access Points

    Analyze video at all controlled entrances

    import { Mixpeek } from 'mixpeek';
    const client = new Mixpeek({ apiKey: process.env.MIXPEEK_API_KEY });
    // Configure access point monitoring
    await client.streams.connect({
    stream_id: 'access-control-monitoring',
    sources: [
    { camera_id: 'entrance-main', location: 'main-lobby' },
    { camera_id: 'server-room', location: 'datacenter' },
    // Additional access points...
    ],
    extractors: [
    'person-counting',
    'face-detection',
    'badge-detection',
    'tailgating-detection',
    'door-state-detection'
    ],
    settings: {
    badge_verification: true,
    alert_on_mismatch: true,
    record_all_access: true
    }
    });
    2

    Correlate with Badge Events

    Match visual access with badge system logs

    // Correlate visual and badge access
    client.streams.onAccessEvent('access-control-monitoring', async (event) => {
    const badgeEvent = await getBadgeEvent(event.timestamp, event.location);
    const verification = {
    timestamp: event.timestamp,
    location: event.location,
    badge_swipe: badgeEvent?.badge_id,
    persons_detected: event.person_count,
    faces_captured: event.faces,
    tailgating_detected: event.person_count > 1,
    door_held_open: event.door_open_duration > 5, // seconds
    badge_holder_verified: event.faces[0]?.matches_badge_photo
    };
    if (verification.tailgating_detected || !verification.badge_holder_verified) {
    await alertSecurityTeam(verification);
    }
    await logAccessEvent(verification);
    });

    Generate Compliance Reports

    Create audit-ready access documentation

    // Generate access compliance report
    async function generateAccessReport(dateRange: { start: string; end: string }) {
    const events = await client.analytics.getAccessEvents({
    stream_id: 'access-control-monitoring',
    date_range: dateRange
    });
    return {
    total_access_events: events.total,
    verified_access: events.verified_count,
    tailgating_incidents: events.tailgating,
    unverified_access: events.unverified,
    door_propping_incidents: events.door_propped,
    by_location: events.location_breakdown,
    visual_evidence: events.clips_available,
    compliance_score: events.compliance_percentage
    };
    }

    Expected Outcomes

    99% accuracy in detecting tailgating
