Atlanta –Salto, a global leader in electronic access control solutions, continues to advance smart access innovation with Salto XS4 Face, a face recognition access control solution designed to deliver fast, secure, and hands-free access while prioritizing privacy, flexibility, and user experience.

Salto XS4 Face’s face recognition technology is engineered to provide convenient, secure access to Salto access points, requiring only a face as a credential and granting access in under a second. Each user gains access effortlessly through a unique access credential – their face – eliminating the need for physical keys or keycards.

XS4 Face makes access simple and intuitive, while meeting the highest security and privacy requirements. With automated and streamlined hardware and software installation, deployment is faster and easier, removing common installation and operational challenges. Built-in high security and privacy ensure a safe and seamless user experience, allowing users to access spaces quickly, saving time while maintaining a secure environment.

 

Simple deployment, single-sourced solution

XS4 Face is designed for straightforward deployment, with simplified hardware installation and automated software configuration and commissioning. No third-party software or additional integration is required. The entire solution, including algorithm, hardware, software, and ongoing support, is delivered by Salto and works seamlessly with existing Salto door locks and building infrastructure.

 

Fast, mobile self-enrollment

XS4 Face provides an intuitive enrollment service, making onboarding users quick and easy – without the need to download an app. Onboarding can be done from anywhere, on any device. Users do not need to come to a central point to register their faces. Instead, XS4 Face guides them through an easy mobile self-enrollment process, ensuring a frictionless onboarding experience. 

 

Advanced face recognition access control technology

Salto XS4 Face is designed with privacy at its core. The local, on-premise system does not store any images. When a user approaches the XS4 Face camera, their image is captured and converted into a biometric template for comparison with the gallery of enrolled users. In all cases, the access request image and the resulting biometric template are deleted within 0.3 seconds. Built-in liveness detection helps prevent spoofing attempts that use photos, videos, or masks, ensuring only genuine users gain access.

 

Effortless and secure access

Powered by Salto’s advanced access control technology, XS4 Face works with existing electronic Salto door locks and building infrastructure. XS4 Face merges convenience and security, ensuring a smooth entry experience every time.

XS4 Face is currently integrated into Salto Space, Salto’s pioneering SVN data-on-card access control.

 

Flexible credentials within the Salto smart access ecosystem

As part of Salto’s smart access ecosystem, XS4 Face supports multiple credential options, allowing organizations to design access strategies that fit different users, environments, and security requirements: face recognition, mobile or digital keys, RFID keycards or fobs, and PIN codes.

With XS4 Face, Salto delivers a secure, scalable access control solution that balances privacy, convenience, and control as part of a unified smart access ecosystem. For more information, visit the Salto XS4 Face website. Watch the Salto XS4 Face video here.
