Face recognition for security & access

Knowing who is in sensitive areas — and being alerted to people who shouldn't be — is central to security. Manually checking identities at every entrance and restricted area is impossible at scale.

Vianix face recognition identifies known individuals and flags unknown faces in real time at entrances and sensitive zones, with full on-premise deployment available for organisations with strict privacy needs.

Overview

What is face recognition?

Face recognition uses computer vision to identify or verify individuals from camera feeds by matching faces against an enrolled database. It enables recognising known staff or VIPs, flagging unknown or unauthorised people in sensitive areas, and supporting access control and attendance — with consent and data handling that, for Vianix, can be kept fully on-premise.

FAQ

Face recognition — questions answered

What can face recognition do?
It recognises enrolled known individuals (staff, VIPs), flags unknown or unauthorised people in sensitive areas, and can support access control and attendance — all in real time from camera feeds.
Is biometric data kept private?
Yes. Vianix can run face recognition fully on-premise so all biometric data stays inside your network and never reaches any external cloud, aligned with India's DPDP Act 2023.
Does it need consent?
Face recognition involves biometric data, which is regulated. Vianix supports the consent and data-handling requirements, and we help align deployment with your obligations.
Can it flag unknown people only?
Yes. A common, lower-sensitivity use is flagging unknown faces in staff-only or restricted areas, without identifying every individual.
Does it work with existing cameras?
Yes, where placement and image quality allow clear face capture. We assess camera suitability during a site survey.
Does this work with my existing CCTV cameras?
Yes. Vianix is camera-agnostic and works with your existing IP cameras and NVR over RTSP and ONVIF — including Hikvision, CP Plus, Dahua and other major brands — so there's no need to buy new hardware.
How are alerts delivered?
Vianix sends real-time alerts via WhatsApp, SMS, email or the on-site dashboard, each with a short video clip as proof, routed to the person responsible for that camera or zone.
Can it run on-premise so data stays private?
Yes. Vianix offers full on-premise deployment where all video and processing stay inside your own network and nothing reaches any external cloud — aligned with India's DPDP Act 2023.
How quickly can it be set up?
Most deployments go live in days. We connect to your existing cameras, configure the detections you need, tune them, and hand over — so your team starts getting alerts quickly. The best starting point is a free proof-of-concept on your own feeds.
