In access control, biometrics is often seen as the ultimate solution for securing entry points. But its effectiveness depends entirely on the ecosystem it’s part of. A biometric camera alone doesn’t guarantee business continuity on a construction site or smooth operations in an office building. That’s where LinkView comes in: by integrating IDEMIA biometrics into a complete solution combining delegated management and 24/7 supervision, we transform a standalone tool into a high-value operational service.
Why biometrics alone isn’t enough
Facial recognition offers undeniable advantages: :
- Reliable, fast identification
- No badges, eliminating risks of loss or duplication
- Contactless access, perfectly suited to sensitive environments
But the reality is more complex. On a construction site, for example, biometrics alone doesn’t handle automated authorization control, exceptional access requests, hardware failures, or out-of-hours support needs. Without a comprehensive supervision framework — one that manages the entire access process, from automatic credential validation to real-time device monitoring — the system remains vulnerable.
The LinkView–IDEMIA integration: a complete response
To address these limits, we’ve built native technological integration. IDEMIA biometrics isn’t an “add-on option” but an integral part of the LinkView platform.
This means :
- Interoperability by design: biometrics communicates directly with the central platform, and alerts are raised in real time.
- Continuous supervision: our operations center constantly monitors sensor status and all granted or denied accesses.
- 24/7 assistance: in case of an unexpected situation, an operator can intervene remotely, immediately.
- Proactive maintenance: anomalies are detected early to prevent service interruptions.
In short, biometrics becomes the identity verification layer within a complete, high-performance system designed for reliability and continuity.
Real-world applications
- Multi-company construction sites
Every day, dozens of contractors enter and exit, often on different schedules. Biometrics ensures secure identification, and LinkView goes further: real-time tracking of movements, instant alerts when unauthorized access is attempted, and immediate operator intervention if anomalies arise. - Casinos and sensitive areas
In these environments, biometrics reduces identity fraud risks and guarantees strictly controlled access. Supervision ensures no gaps: if an anomaly is detected, a corrective action is triggered instantly, without relying on on-site staff. - Industrial and logistics sites
With teams working staggered hours, biometrics simplifies identification. Centralized supervision ensures continuous availability, even without local personnel.
Why this approach is transformative
Many biometric integrations are still treated as an “afterthought”: a reader is installed, then connected — awkwardly — to an existing system. This creates gaps, added costs, and reliance on manual intervention.
With LinkView, integration is designed from the study phase. The result:
- A coherent system with no stacking of tools
- Real-time, fully remote supervision
- Complete traceability to meet regulatory compliance requirements
- A scalable solution, ready to integrate other technologies (video, advanced reporting, etc.)
At LinkView, we believe technology alone isn’t enough — the service model makes the difference. The IDEMIA integration reflects this philosophy: biometrics, combined with 24/7 supervision and proactive maintenance, becomes a true lever for both security and operational performance.
Because secure access only matters if it works seamlessly, without adding burden to your teams.
