Control iD Review

Control iD IDFace: The Future of Access Control

Control iD IDFace: The Future of Access Control

Access control has come a long way from traditional keys and swipe cards. As organizations demand stronger security, faster throughput, and more hygienic solutions, biometric technology has taken center stage.

The Control iD IDFace reader—part of the ASSA ABLOY Group portfolio—represents a major step forward in modern access control. Powered by advanced facial recognition technology, the IDFace delivers a secure, touchless, and highly efficient way to manage access to buildings and restricted areas. When paired with PMT Security’s OMNIA access control system, it becomes part of a fully unified, enterprise-ready solution.

Why Choose the Control iD IDFace Reader?

The IDFace reader is far more than a simple facial scanner. It is a flexible, multi-technology access control device designed to meet the needs of modern facilities.

Advanced Facial Recognition Technology

The IDFace uses dual 1080p Full HD cameras—one visible light and one infrared—combined with a high-accuracy recognition algorithm. It can identify up to 10,000 enrolled faces, even when users are wearing masks. Built-in liveness detection protects against spoofing attempts using photos or video playback, ensuring a high level of biometric security.

Multi-Factor Authentication Flexibility

While facial recognition is its primary feature, the IDFace reader supports multiple authentication methods, including:

  • Proximity cards (MIFARE™ and 125kHz ASK)
  • QR codes
  • PIN/password entry

This flexibility allows organizations to implement layered security policies or accommodate different user groups within the same system.

Touchless, Secure, and Convenient

Facial recognition enables fast, hands-free access, improving user experience while reducing contact with shared surfaces. This makes the IDFace ideal for high-traffic environments where hygiene, speed, and convenience are critical. Access can also be controlled using schedules, groups, and permissions for added security.

Built for Indoor and Outdoor Environments

With an IP65 rating, the IDFace reader is designed to withstand dust and water, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations. Its sleek, modern design integrates seamlessly into commercial buildings, residential complexes, education facilities, healthcare environments, and more.

Standalone or System-Integrated Operation

The IDFace can operate as a standalone device using its embedded web interface or be deployed as part of a larger access control ecosystem—making it ideal for both small installations and enterprise-scale projects.

Seamless Integration with OMNIA Access Control

One of the key advantages of the Control iD IDFace reader is its native compatibility with OMNIA access control software from PMT Security. This integration creates a powerful, centralized access control environment that combines advanced biometrics with enterprise-grade system management.

Integration is straightforward using Wiegand or OSDP connections and typically includes:

1. Physical Connection

The IDFace reader is wired directly to an Impro OSDP/Wiegand reader module.

2. OMNIA Configuration

Within OMNIA, administrators can easily add the IDFace reader, enroll users, assign permissions, and define access rules—all from a single interface.

3. Centralized System Management

Once integrated, all access events, credentials, biometric data, and system configurations are managed through OMNIA. This allows organizations to maintain a single, scalable platform for all access points, whether biometric or card-based.

The result is a unified, future-ready access control solution that combines cutting-edge facial recognition with the reliability and scalability OMNIA is known for.

Ready to Modernize Your Access Control?

The Control iD IDFace reader offers a secure, touchless, and flexible approach to access control—perfect for organizations looking to future-proof their security infrastructure.
