We have 400 units and everyone is happy with it.

> — Kim Sperling

> **They are great!** Our building just had the Swiftlane Reader X installed and it's been a game-changer in terms of convenience and security.

> **Support has been great** It provides cost savings and efficiencies by not having to buy key cards or keys. I love the feature of being able to have a guest user call and be let in, and get a visual of who that person is instead of needing to pay for additional security cameras. Support has been great. You get almost instantaneous answers to calls or emails.
> — Donald Bowers, Head of Security

> **Great system** Originally, the goal was to find something that look and function better, and have a good app. Those were the main success criteria, and Swiftlane definitely meets them. The hands-free control, I believe, was what ultimately convinced me.
> — Mike, Director of Production

> **The greatest flexibility and affordability** Swiftlane was recently installed after exploring many options for our retail site that is designed to have locked doors with controlled access 24/7. This option appeared to have the greatest flexibility, affordability and the installation team solved numerous pre-existing issues.
> — Gary Wells

> **Incredibly smooth install process** We just upgraded the building access of the community I manage to Swiftlane and it's been wonderful! The install process was incredibly smooth and the Swiftlane team was always available for any questions I had. We opted to fully go without fobs so that all access to our building was done via their app which has been a lifesaver for the office staff.
> — Kala Short

> **Seamless entry experience** Great system that gives our building quietly powerful self-tools as well as central admin management. Seamless entry experience. I’m thrilled with it and other people in the building are too.
> — Steve White

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does Swiftlane's face recognition system compare to traditional key card or fob access control?

Unlike key cards or fobs, which can be lost, stolen, or shared, Swiftlane's facial recognition access control ties entry privileges directly to a person's unique biometric identity, eliminating credential sharing and unauthorized access.

### How do residents or employees enroll?

Enrollment takes about 60 seconds and happens entirely from the user's own phone through the Swiftlane app. They take a short series of photos, the system builds their encrypted facial template, and they can use face recognition at any authorized door from that point forward.

### Is face recognition optional, or are residents required to use it?

Facial recognition is fully optional for Swiftlane users. Residents and employees choose whether to enroll, and anyone who doesn't want to use face recognition can use the Swiftlane mobile app, a PIN, a key fob, or a phone-based intercom call instead.

### Can someone break in using a photo or video of an authorized person?

No. Swiftlane uses 2D and 3D depth data for anti-spoofing, which means a flat photo, a phone screen showing a video, or a printed image won't unlock the door.

### Where is biometric data stored, and is it ever sold or used for AI training?

Facial data is stored encrypted on SOC 2-certified cloud servers with strict access restrictions. Swiftlane never sells, shares, or uses biometric data for advertising or profiling, and never uses it to train AI models for outside companies. Residents can delete their facial data at any time by removing themselves from face recognition in the app.

### Does the system work if someone grows a beard, changes their hair, or wears glasses?

Yes. The recognition system learns and adapts to gradual changes in appearance, like facial hair growth, weight changes, new glasses, different makeup, and aging. For dramatic changes (e.g., a completely new haircut), residents can rescan their face in the Swiftlane app in under a minute to update their profile.
