A Look at How Residents Enter Seamlessly

swiftlane intercom facial recognition

Built to Scale with Your Portfolio

Apartment Buildings

  • Property managers add and remove tenants via our cloud-based intercom management platform.  Tenants enroll via the Swiftlane app (Android/Apple). Their face is the key to unlock the door.

Condos and HOA Buildings

  • Property owners can use the same great app used for apartments to manage all their guests.  Facial recognition opens the front door for all authorized residents, just like in apartment buildings.

How Our Face Recognition Access Control Works

  1. Property management or the condo board sends new residents an enrollment email.

  2. New resident downloads the highly rated Swiftlane app.

  3. Tenant enrolls via app and uploads facial images – it takes just 60 seconds.

  4. When tenant approaches the intercom, their face is recognized from the resident database.

  5. The door unlocks - keyless, touchless, hands-free.

Visitors Can Use Other Credentials for Entry

  • Call a tenant on the video intercom to request access

  • Use a temporary PIN created by a tenant

  • Alert the tenant upon arrival via text and let them remotely buzz you in

Why Face ID Is the Next Generation in Access Control

  • Touchless and Hygienic

    In a hygiene-conscious world, facial recognition offers a completely contactless experience.

  • Frictionless User Experience

    People often forget or misplace keys, fobs, or access cards. Your face is always with you.

  • Higher Security

    Unlike access cards or PINs, facial data can’t easily be shared, duplicated, or stolen. This minimizes the risk of unauthorized access.

  • Visual Audit Trails

    Facial recognition access systems log exactly who entered, when, and where in real-time.  This improves security oversight and is valuable for compliance and investigations. 

Peace of Mind for Resident Privacy & Security

01.

Advanced Spoof Protection

You can’t fool the face ID system with a photo. Advanced anti-spoofing technology captures 2D and 3D images to ensure the face is real.

02.

Enterprise-Grade Data Security

Data is secured to the SOC II compliance standard for rigorous protection of personal information. Most companies, don’t go the extra mile to certify, rest assured that we don’t take your privacy lightly. 

03.

Privacy-First Biometric Storage

Biometric information is stored on our encrypted server. We never share or sell your biometric information with other parties. Tenants can opt out of facial recognition using our app or using other credentials (PINs, key fobs, etc).
