What SINPRO suggested and implemeted
🔍 Step 1: Deep Audit Instead of Blind Trend-Following
We advised them not to rush into the integrator’s offer. Instead, we conducted a detailed audit:
● Existing infrastructure: Old but functional surveillance cameras already covered the entrance area and could clearly see faces.
● Weak link: There was no central controller for the turnstile — only outdated standalone readers that often failed.
● Data integrity: The reporting system and employee database were stable and met the client’s needs.
💡 Step 2: A Targeted, Elegant Solution
We proposed not to rebuild, but to upgrade.
Why buy expensive and unreliable terminals if you can use what’s already there?
Software instead of terminals: We provided a license for a high-speed, accurate facial recognition software that worked with live video streams from the existing cameras — much cheaper.
Preserve the foundation: The ACS server and database remained intact, saving money and preserving all historical data and settings.
Fix only the weak spot: We replaced the faulty readers with a modern but budget-friendly turnstile controller.
🛠 Step 3: Implementation
Our role included:
● Integrating three systems into one chain: video surveillance → facial recognition software → updated ACS controller.
● Finding a subcontractor capable of configuring the interface between the recognition software and the ACS.
● Overseeing the process to ensure seamless compatibility between the new and existing systems.
🎯 Results
● ⚡ 3× faster entry: Employees now pass through effortlessly — no queues, no delays.
● 💰 45% budget savings: The client avoided unnecessary hardware and “turnkey” costs by reusing existing assets.
● 🔐 Data preserved: All historical records and reports remained untouched.
● 🧩 Minimal disruption: No construction work or prolonged system downtime was required.
💡 Takeaway
Integrators often push the easiest solution for themselves — selling and installing an expensive “box.”
A true technical consultant digs deeper, studies the existing infrastructure, and finds the most cost-effective and efficient path, even if it’s not the obvious one.
You don’t always need to replace everything.
Sometimes, smart upgrades are all it takes.
