Clayton Brown, Executive VPIn a world where security and access challenges prove to be plentiful and unpredictable, Smarter Security offers a range of entrance and access control solutions that help more than 50 percent of Fortune 100 companies stay secure amidst evolving security risks. Smarter Security has a strong history and foundation of understanding entry control problems and knows how people expect their buildings, lanes, and lobbies to be secure. Blending hardware innovation with the latest technology trends and software, Smarter Security specializes in providing Fastlane® optical turnstiles, intelligent access control, and risk adaptive software solutions.
What sets the company apart from its competitors is the SmarterESP (enterprise security platform). This platform uniquely integrates disparate systems and sensors throughout the building. When prescribed combinations of concerning events are detected, it automatically triggers your prescribed responses. Its competitive advantage lies in its ability to bring in a diverse set of information to monitor the facility for abnormal behavior, evaluate it, and make real-time decisions to secure the building. “SmarterESP is the first risk-adaptive solution using commercial off-the-shelf components,” says Clayton Brown, Executive Vice President, Smarter Security. “It also provides seamless integration with HVAC or building automation systems via BACnet.”
Nevertheless, it is the intelligence, design, and performance of Fastlane turnstiles that have made Smarter Security a leader in entrance and access control security solutions. Often used in Class A building lobbies, government facilities, corporate and university campuses, Fastlane turnstiles automate tailgate detection, minimize false alarms, and enforce society or building policies. Unlike competitors’ turnstiles, they are equipped with an infrared matrix and neural network technology that makes thousands of calculations per second based on passage speed, luggage being carried or pulled, distance to the pedestrian behind, and direction of movement. The turnstiles aren’t just smart but incredibly reliable. Multiple installations have even survived floods and hurricanes.
Moving beyond federal and corporate buildings, Smarter Security also serves financial institutions with SmarterLobby, which can integrate with weapon detection systems to sense concealed weapons and automatically lockdown turnstiles barring an armed individual from entering a facility. To further enhance this offering, Smarter Security has launched ballistic resistant glass barriers that can protect security guards as well as other occupants inside the building in active shooter disasters. One banking institution in the Midwest partnered with Smarter Security to leverage its weapon detection solution to protect their tenants from any active shooter situation and to prevent anyone from entering their facility with a gun or knife. “When our systems detect suspicious activities in the lobby as defined by the client, the turnstiles lockdown instantly to ensure no person enters or exits the building. We made this financial institution a weapon-free zone,” mentions Brown. “Along with handling tailgating, these turnstiles also functioned as policy enforcement devices, a job that usually falls on the building’s security guard. The turnstiles now assist the client to automatically enforce the building managers’ policies to respond to threats by evaluating data in real-time.”
Smart Security’s turnstiles are also designed to secure entries into buildings that need wider turnstile lanes, such as hospitals. Offering easy access to multiple entries, for either gurneys, pallets, building maintenance equipment, or pedestrians, Smarter Security has created the industry’s only ‘side-by-side’ collusion technology that detects collusion and eliminates the need for a separate gate. Another offering by Smarter Security is Door Detective® that detects tailgating and unauthorized access anywhere within a building’s interior doorways. As people often hold doors they accessed, using their pin or authorization credentials, for others, it leads to unauthorized or undetected entries. Door Detective combined with SmarterAccess adapts to such behaviors in real-time. It can see through spaces using the latest software and adjusts access permissions accordingly. “It is similar to turnstiles but for the interior of the building at different points,” explains Brown. The company also provides frictionless and biometric smart mounting for cameras, sensors, hand sanitizers, and more devices required in a smart building.

For such distinctive products and customer service, Smarter Security has been on the Inc 5000 list for six years and won the Security Industry Association’s Best New Product: Access Control Software and Hardware Solutions in 2019. Already leading the critical smarter access and management software industry, the company is now looking forward to improving its existing systems with the latest technologies and risk adaptivity. From an expansion viewpoint, Smarter Security hopes to add more government facilities along with SmartCity and Smart Building projects to its customer base to secure their premises better. “Our ability to understand a client’s needs for turnstiles, access doors, or their security operations based on real-time activity is truly ground-breaking,” ends Brown.

Smarter Security Introduces The New Door Detective SG With Innovative Sidegate Detection® Technology
Top
This cutting-edge addition to the Door Detective product range is poised to revolutionize the realm of access control and door security. It brings forth advanced functionalities that cater to the evolving requirements of contemporary facilities.
Door Detective SG
"Smarter Security's new Door Detective SG brings an entirely new weapon to the Security Director's arsenal," said Jeff Brown, CEO of Smarter Security. "Many years ago, Door Detective® introduced the concept of securing doors while they are open."
"SG stands for sidegating or side-by-side collusion attempts to sneak unauthorized people into secure areas where they do not belong. So, this is a perfect solution for extra-wide or double doors in data centers, labs, and hospitals. Unlike other door security, Door Detective SG kills this risk, which is a major win for our government and commercial customers," said Brown.
Doorway-Mounted Device
The Door Detective is a doorway-mounted device designed for real-time detection and analysis. It excels at accurately identifying single individuals, detecting multiple persons, thwarting tailgating or piggybacking attempts, and pinpointing directional violations.
Sidegate Detection®
Technology One of its standout features is the innovative Sidegate Detection® technology, which effectively identifies side-by-side collusion attempts occurring at single and double-door entrances, emergency exits, and other vulnerable access points. This technology proves invaluable for security professionals as it takes a proactive stance in preventing security breaches, theft, and other criminal activities that could lead to significant financial losses and harm an organization's reputation.
Demonstrations And Insights
To witness the Door Detective SG in action and gain firsthand insights into its groundbreaking Sidegate Detection® technology, we invite you to join us at the Dallas Global Security Exchange (GSX) conference from September 11th to 13th.
