After spotting a gap in the market, Openpath — a provider of touchless access control and workplace safety automation — is now offering Pro Series Video Readers with sleek hardware, and touchless unlock and remote management capabilities.
“Security cameras are so necessary, but they themselves have a challenge around distance and angle — they’re set up for surveillance, but you cannot see the face or identify the specific person very easily,” said James Segil, president and co-founder of Openpath. “We have readers on every door, so we wondered why we didn’t have a camera in every reader, and realized no one else was doing that. We think this will be the new industry standard of security at a door — a reader with a camera in it — and it seems so obvious. We think that for security, having a camera built in becomes the new requirement for the new normal.”
