Turnstiles & Face Recognition Access Control Installation for a Student Accommodation Building in KwaZulu-Natal

Turnstar Titan Turnstiles & Face Recognition Access Control for Student Accommodation

Stealth Security Solutions recently completed the installation of an advanced access control solution for a major student accommodation building in KwaZulu-Natal.

The project involved the supply and installation of Turnstar Titan Full-Height Turnstiles integrated with Hikvision Face Recognition Readers to improve student safety, strengthen access control and provide building management with greater visibility over student and staff movements throughout the facility.

With more than 1,000 students residing within the building, effective access control is essential to maintaining a safe, secure and well-managed living environment.

Project Scope

The solution was designed to address several key challenges, including unauthorised access, visitor control and occupancy management.

The installation included:

  • Turnstar Titan Full-Height Turnstiles
  • Hikvision Face Recognition Readers
  • Student and Staff Access Management
  • Secure Building Entry Control
  • Occupancy Monitoring
  • Access Event Reporting
  • Resident Enrolment and Database Configuration
  • System Commissioning and Training

Improving Student Safety & Building Security

Student accommodation facilities often face challenges relating to unauthorised visitors entering the premises and difficulties in managing large volumes of residents.

The newly installed system ensures that only authorised students, staff members and approved personnel can gain access to the building.

Each individual is verified through facial recognition technology before access is granted, significantly reducing the risk of unauthorised entry.

Managing High Occupancy Environments

With over 1,000 students occupying the building, management required a solution capable of handling large numbers of daily access events efficiently and accurately.

The integrated turnstile and facial recognition system provides:

  • Accurate monitoring of resident movements
  • Real-time access records
  • Improved occupancy management
  • Enhanced visibility of building activity
  • Faster entry and exit processing
  • Reduced security risks

The system also assists management by providing detailed access reports and audit trails when required.

Preventing Unauthorised Visitors

One of the primary objectives of the project was to address the challenge of students bringing unauthorised individuals into the building.

The Turnstar Titan full-height turnstiles create a controlled access point that prevents tailgating and unauthorised entry attempts, while facial recognition technology ensures that only registered users can gain access.

This significantly improves overall security and helps create a safer environment for all residents.

Benefits of the Solution

  • Enhanced student safety
  • Face recognition access control
  • Prevention of unauthorised access
  • Improved occupancy monitoring
  • Faster resident access
  • Full audit trail and reporting
  • Reduced security incidents
  • Scalable solution for large accommodation facilities

The Result

The completed installation has provided the student accommodation building with a modern, secure and highly effective access control platform.

The combination of Turnstar Titan turnstiles and Hikvision face recognition technology has strengthened building security, improved resident management and helped create a safer environment for both students and staff.
