Effective visitor access control is essential for maintaining security, efficiency, and a seamless visitor experience within any facility. The FAC’R system streamlines this process by combining identity verification, automated check-in, and smart access recognition. From the moment a visitor enters the premises to their final check-in at reception, each step is designed to validate identity, reduce administrative delays, and prevent unauthorized access. This structured workflow not only enhances operational control but also reinforces the facility’s commitment to safety and professionalism—ensuring that every visitor is verified, tracked, and granted access appropriately.
A visitor arriving at the reception area uses the FAC’R check-in device to enter identification details for the specific visit, including reason for visit and ID number. The entered ID is then verified through a Home Affairs lookup to confirm identity and validate the check-in information. Access is granted based on the validity of the request, and the appropriate temporary visitor card is issued.
If the facility is equipped with access control and a scanning system, and the visitor was already scanned at the main gate, the verification process (Hone affairs lookup) would have been initiated at that point. As a result, by the time the visitor reaches the reception or check-in kiosk, they are recognized—streamlining the process and reducing delays or duplication.
Frequent visitors may be classified as “Regulars.” In such cases, the initial check-in and verification remain valid, and future access is granted instantly via a simple facial scan.

Step 3: ID is verified via Home Affairs.

Additional Access Methods:
Pre-verification at Main Gate: If the visitor was scanned at the main entrance (and access control is in place), verification is already underway before reaching reception.
System Recognition: Upon arrival at reception, the system recognizes pre-verified visitors, speeding up the check-in process.
Frequent Visitors:
Returning visitors may be classified as “Regulars.” Regulars gain instant access through facial scanning—no need to re-enter details.
