eGates
Introduction
eGates
An automated system allowing the user to pass quickly and seamlessly through, whilst maintaining security.
eGate Border Control Systems
Automated border control systems, commonly called eGates, are automated self-service checkpoints that use the biometric data stored in modern passports or ID cards to verify the identity of those passing through a checkpoint. The most common use for eGates is within passport control at an airport, but eGates are suitable for many more applications.
A modular system allowing the eGate solution to be tailored to suit any requirement:
- Optical Passport scanning, e-Passport and fingerprint readers, facial recognition and Contactless Smartcard options
- Anti-spoofing, live detection and anti-tailgating security
- Unique identity code for each user and receipt slip printing
- Automated man-trap detention capabilities (2 door)
- Dedicated management console and visual displays
By utilising a completely flexible and upgradable modular architecture, Westminster’s e-Gate solution can be tailored to meet the exact requirements of the project and be fully able to cope with future requirements and technology progression.
Handheld eGate user interrogation terminals allow security teams to inspect the ID documents of eGate users and verify their identity and usage history of the eGate system.
The ID registration kiosks allow eGate users to register on the system and verify their identity at their leisure, before entering the eGates themselves, thereby speeding up the process and ensuring less holdup and identification failures.
