  3. Control iD: Autonomous Entry, Attendance and Occupancy Management
Side view of a woman near a facial-recognition security terminal; two large smartphone-like devices display Face ID enrollment interfaces with a smiling face.

Control ID is a an affordable entry management solution designed for sites that need powerful access control without the complexity of a full traditional installation.

Built around intelligent edge devices and a dedicated dashboard, Control ID gives organisations a modern way to manage people entering and moving through their facilities. It supports facial, QR and card credentials, SIP intercom communication, anti-passback, time and attendance, occupancy monitoring and evacuation support in one simple system.

Control ID can operate independently or integrate with the wider Openitem platform, making it suitable for both new installations and customers who want to extend their existing access control environment. With self-provisioning and support for third-party device acquisition, Control ID gives businesses flexibility, speed and control from day one.

Device Integration

Control ID is built for organisations that want a modern, flexible and intelligent way to manage entry.

Key Features Explained

Facial Access up to 100,000 Faces

Control ID supports facial access for up to 100,000 faces, alongside QR and card credentials. Facial access provides a fast, contactless and convenient option for authorised users while reducing reliance on physical credentials where required.

Woman stands at a biometric facial-recognition entry device by a glass door; sign on wall reads 'Up To 100,000 Faces'.
Two people use wall-mounted access panels; signs read 'QR Access Visitors' and 'Card Access Regulars' indicating different entry methods.

QR and Card Access

Control ID supports QR and card-based entry, giving organisations flexibility across staff, visitors, contractors and temporary users.

QR access is ideal for short-term permissions, while card access remains a familiar option for regular users.

SIP Enabled Intercom

Control ID includes SIP enabled intercom functionality, allowing visitors or users at an entry point to communicate with authorised personnel before access is granted. This is useful for reception areas, gates, service entrances, delivery points and remote entry locations.

Anti-Passback on Face, QR and Card

Control ID supports anti-passback across facial, QR and card access methods to help prevent credential sharing and repeated unauthorised entry. This improves security, strengthens occupancy accuracy and supports better movement control across zones.

Standalone or Integrated with Openitem

Control ID can operate as a standalone solution with its own dashboard, or integrate with the broader Openitem platform. Customers can deploy it independently for a specific site or connect it into Openitem when broader access control and reporting are required.

Custom Sounds

Control ID supports custom sounds for device feedback and user interaction.

Custom audio can be used for access granted, access denied, visitor prompts, safety messages or site-specific instructions.

Time and Attendance

Control ID can record user entry and exit activity to support time and attendance tracking.

This provides useful visibility for workforce management, contractor activity and operational reporting.

Zone Occupancy

Control ID helps monitor zone occupancy by tracking movement into and out of defined areas.

This gives managers visibility of how many people are present in specific zones, buildings or facilities.

Evacuation Support

Control ID can assist during evacuations by showing who is currently recorded as being on site or within a defined zone.

This supports faster, more informed emergency response and roll-call management.

Self-Provisioning and Third-Party Device Acquisition

Control ID supports self-provisioning and flexible device acquisition through approved third-party channels. Customers can acquire compatible devices, provision them into the Control ID environment and manage them through the dashboard.
