Access Control & Intelligent Security Infrastructure

End-to-end physical-access infrastructure for the buildings, gates and inspection lines that decide who — and what — gets through. Multi-modal biometrics, thermal entry screening and inclusive identification engineered for every operating context.

Overview

Identity, entry and inspection as one system of record

Vanguard unifies biometrics, credentials, intercoms, gates, barriers, thermal screening and inspection lines under a single access-control fabric. Every transaction is policy-driven, logged and replayable — and authentication modalities are chosen to suit the user, the context and local cultural or privacy preferences.

  • Centralised identity policy with per-door, per-zone and per-time rules
  • Multi-modal biometrics: face, palm vein, iris, fingerprint and palm-print — choose what fits each user
  • Contactless thermal entry screening for body temperature, mask compliance and elevated-skin-temperature alerts
  • Inclusive identification — iris and palm-vein options for users whose face is partially covered for personal, professional or cultural reasons
  • Anti-passback, mantraps, two-person rules and escort enforcement
  • End-to-end encrypted credentials with OSDP v2 and FIDO2 support
  • Integrated visitor pre-registration, host approval and badge issuance

Hardware Portfolio

Engineered devices, delivered as one catalogue

Every device in this category is specified, integrated and supported by the same engineering team — not a marketplace of loosely-coupled vendors.

FAR <0.00008%
Palm-Vein Biometric Readers

Contactless near-infrared scanning of subcutaneous vein patterns — works through gloves, with no surface contact and false-accept rates beyond fingerprint-grade.

Up to 1.2 m
Iris-Recognition Terminals

Contactless iris matching for users whose face is partially covered — by PPE, headwear or for personal and cultural privacy. Works at distance with eyewear and low-light tolerance.

±0.3 °C · mask
Thermal Entry Screening

Wall-mounted thermal screening terminals with ±0.3 °C accuracy, mask-compliance detection and elevated-skin-temperature alerts at the door.

<300 ms match
Biometric Access Terminals

Multi-modal face, palm-print and fingerprint authentication with anti-spoof liveness and step-up MFA.

Face-Recognition Terminals

Wall-mounted units with mask-tolerant matching, anti-spoof liveness and demographic-blind enrolment.

Fingerprint Readers

Optical and capacitive readers tuned for industrial wear environments.

RFID & Smart-Card Systems

MIFARE DESFire EV3 and SEOS readers with key diversification and field provisioning.

Video Intercoms

IP intercom stations with HD video, two-way audio and direct VMS integration.

Speed Gates

Optical lanes with sub-second throughput, anti-tailgating and tandem detection.

Turnstiles

Tripod, full-height and waist-high turnstiles for stadium, transit and industrial use.

1.5 M cycles
Barrier Gates

Boom barriers rated for high-cycle vehicle access with loop and radar detection.

Vehicle Access Systems

ANPR-driven gate control with allowlist, tenant and visitor flows.

Visitor Management

Pre-registration, host approval, QR badges and watch-list screening.

Up to 200 kV
X-ray Inspection Systems

Single- and dual-view X-ray for parcel, baggage and cargo screening.

Security Inspection Scanners

Walk-through metal detectors, body scanners and trace-detection portals.

Capabilities

Built for the workloads your operators actually run

Palm-vein authentication

Contactless near-infrared scan of internal vein patterns. Hygienic, glove-tolerant and effectively impossible to forge — false-accept rates an order of magnitude below fingerprint.

Iris recognition

Contactless biometric for users whose face is partially covered — by PPE, headwear or for personal and cultural privacy. Reads at distance, through eyewear and in low light.

Thermal entry screening

Contactless body-temperature reading at the door (±0.3 °C), with elevated-skin-temperature alerts and mask-compliance detection — gated to access decisions.

Face & mask-tolerant recognition

Anti-spoof face matching that works with surgical masks, helmets and eyewear, with demographic-blind enrolment.

Smart authentication

Choose card, mobile, palm-vein, iris, face or step-up MFA per door, per shift, per risk score.

Inclusive & privacy-respectful identification

Offer iris, palm-vein and card-only options so every user — including those whose face is not visible — can authenticate with dignity and without exception.

Centralised management

One policy plane controls millions of access events across every site and tenant.

Multi-location deployment

Replicated controllers operate autonomously if a site loses uplink and reconcile when restored.

Visitor tracking

Every guest is pre-screened, badged, escorted and signed-out — with full audit.

Vehicle monitoring

ANPR-driven gates pair plate, driver and cargo manifest for end-to-end accountability.

Anti-tailgating & anti-passback

Optical lane and mantrap analytics enforce one-credential-one-person and prevent reuse across the same controller.

High-throughput operations

Engineered for airports, transit hubs and stadia — peak loads without queue collapse.

Software & Platform

Access policy is authored once in Gilead Command and pushed to every reader, gate and intercom in your estate.
