Construction site facial recognition London
Our plug‑and‑play facial recognition systems boast a wireless pod comprising a compact and secure anti‑vandal steel unit that utilises contactless biometrics and a full‑height turnstile to secure access control in construction.

What Is Facial Recognition for Construction Sites?
Facial recognition for construction sites is a form of construction biometric access control. It essentially automates identity verification for people working on site, ensuring that entry is only granted to those who are enrolled in the system.
London’s busy building environment presents numerous challenges that demand a well structured security system, this is due to the fact that London’s high footfall count in the vicinity of many sites makes for a high risk project in terms of security.
This is why traditional PIN codes or access cards aren’t the best option, as they are easily lost, shared, or stolen, making them arguably unreliable. By contrast, facial recognition ensures a touch free entry system ideally suited to London’s high traffic construction sites.
Examples of Construction Site Facial Recognition Systems
Access control in construction typically involves options such as keycards, PIN pads, or manual checks by security personnel.
While these can work for simple sites, they struggle to keep pace in London’s bustling developments. Thus, we at VIS Systems implement facial recognition technology alongside turnstile access control security systems to offer a modern, efficient, and secure alternative.
By matching faces to stored profiles, our system eliminates the possibility of unauthorised entry, something especially important at major London projects.
POD Facial Recognition Features & How it Works
Our POD system brings together facial recognition and full-height turnstiles in a modular, portable unit.
Our units can be deployed quickly across London construction sites without the need for extensive cabling or permanent infrastructure.
Connectivity through integrated 4G enables real-time cloud-based workforce monitoring, making it easy to manage access across multiple London sites no matter where you are.
The contactless nature of the biometric scanner not only enhances hygiene standards but also reduces manual administration by automating attendance logging and contractor records in line with GDPR compliance.
The key benefits bring about a futuristic way of ensuring compliance and safety, so you can rest assured your site is always in safe hands.
The system’s operations begin with user enrolment, either remotely through secure cloud portals or on-site using our setup pods. Faces are scanned and encrypted, then saved securely.
As workers approach the unit at the entry of a construction site in London, the facial recognition scanner rapidly identifies them and sends a signal to unlock the integrated turnstile.
That’s it!
Our plug‑and‑play installation model requires minimal setup, making it easy to relocate the system across different London construction sites. Simply get in touch with our team to find out more about how easy it really is to keep your site safe.
The Benefit of Full‑Height Turnstiles with Facial Recognition
The benefits are endless when it comes to utilising the power of unchangeable biometric data, it combines full‑height turnstiles with facial recognition, a real 360 approach to security.
These systems are especially valuable in London, where anonymous site access can disrupt workflows or result in theft and non‑compliance.
The turnstile acts as a physical barrier that cannot be bypassed, while facial recognition ensures the person entering matches their enrolled identity. Not only does this enhance everyday security, but it also contributes to improved incident response and better compliance with UK health and safety standards.
Not only that, but the benefits of enhanced hygiene cannot be overlooked, the touch-free system helps manage hygiene in densely populated London sites, reducing what is ultimately unnecessary contact during peak traffic times.
Why You Need Facial Recognition on London Construction Sites
In London, the capital, it is likely that any construction site is relatively large-scale, operating often with multiple contractors, supply chains, and time-sensitive schedules. That being said, site managers need reliable systems for construction site access control systems that reduce risk and promote accountability.
Facial recognition systems reduce administrative tasks by removing manual checks and paper timekeeping processes that can get easily lost or misplaced. They also remove the risk of people clocking in for one another and ensure accurate workforce monitoring that aligns with the UK health and safety compliance regulations across the capital.
More importantly, facial recognition systems help demonstrate diligence to local authorities and ensure your site meets stringent access control in construction standards. So with that being said, it is crucial that you do everything to keep not just your staff and contractors, but your reputation legally safe and sound.
