Extra insights
The company's key products and services are:
The product, called Alcatraz Rock, is designed to replace an access control system entirely, or complement it through integration, and can be easily and quickly installed at any entrance, offering reliable, consistent and secure access control and range.
Alcatraz Rock works with 3D facial recognition and is attracting a lot of attention because it offers access control and recognition and authorization without the need for touch (biometric authentication), as required for access control via fingerprint scanner, badge, etc.
What we believe:
The Alcatraz AI team relies on the synergy of high competencies, mutual trust, and effective communication to deliver successful results.
The core principles we believe in are:
- Striving for synergy
- Collaborating at the level of intuitively anticipating the actions of everyone on the team
- Cohesiveness and understanding
- Belief in innovation
- Innovative grasp of direction in product development, reflecting both the business decision and the customer emotional experience
- Work-life balance.
Additional Information:
The company also offers multi-factor authentication (multi-factor authentication and authorization) depending on customer requirements - for example, it can be two- or three-factor authentication that includes facial recognition, access card and PIN.
Bringing hardware, software and AI to work together through synchronisation from the machine, to the device firmware and the back-end of the platform, forming all devices into a synchronously functioning group, makes the product unique and interesting and places Alcatraz AI in the cutting edge technology category.
