Tailgate Detection

Most access control systems allow you to control who can gain access at which doors, but once a door is open any number of people can pass through it without being authorised. Following an authorised user through a door is known as tailgating and it is very easy to do. We have all been told that it is good manners to hold doors open for other people and more often than not good manners win over the good security practice of closing the door firmly behind you to stop someone else coming in. Intruders may therefore be willingly let in to a secure area and the access control system is beaten.

Centamans range of free standing and door mounted barrier free tailgate detection systems can help solve this problem by detecting unauthorised entrants as they pass and triggering suitable outputs to drive CCTV to record the events or operate local or remote sounders.

This can give Security and Facilities Managers peace of mind that they are making the most of their security system
