AuthentiCam™ for Physical Access Control
1. On-Premises without a PAC system –
AuthentiCam™ operates as a fully standalone access control solution, using its web-based on-device local server to manage user registration, authentication, and door control entirely on-site—without the need for a separate Physical Access Control (PAC) system.
The user registers and authenticates directly on the Wink device, making it an ideal option for self-contained environments that require secure, offline operation.
2. On-Premises with a PAC system –
AuthentiCam™ integrates directly with an on-site PAC system, acting as a biometric authentication device that sends verified identity and liveness data to the PAC system, which then makes the access decision and controls the door.
In this configuration, facial motion passwords are stored locally on the Wink device, ensuring fast, secure authentication without reliance on external systems. In this configuration, the Wink device can be paired with additional readers such as card readers or keypads to support multi-factor physical authentication, enhancing security while maintaining system compatibility.
3. Cloud- or Local-Connected via the Authentiface Server with a PAC system –
AuthentiCam™ connects to either a cloud-based or locally hosted Authentiface™ Server, which centrally manages user registration, facial motion passwords, and token issuance.
In this configuration, the PAC system initiates user provisioning by sending the new user’s email address to the Authentiface™ Server. The server then provides the user with a secure registration option either by emailing a link for remote registration on their own device, or by issuing a PIN for local registration directly on the AuthentiCam™ device. Once registration is complete, the Authentiface™ Server securely transmits the user’s authentication token and facial motion password to both the PAC system and the AuthentiCam™.
During authentication, Wink verifies the user’s identity and liveness, then sends a secure token to the PAC system, which makes the final access control decision. This setup supports flexible registration workflows, enables centralized identity management across multiple locations, and maintains full compatibility with existing PAC system infrastructure.
