Face Recognition is not just a door opener.

In an era where threats can emerge fast and in multiple locations at once, using Face Recognition (FR) only for basic door access control is no longer enough.

The next critical step is to make FR part of a centralized security platform that can see the full picture (cameras, IoT, drones), send real-time alerts, and link directly to automated responses.

This is exactly what ASAP (All Smart AI Platform) was designed to do from the beginning.

Face Recognition in Modern Security: More Than Door Access

Monitor high-risk areas & manage watchlists

FR works together with Intruder Detection, License Plate Recognition (LPR), and Path Tracking to identify persons or vehicles of interest in context.

This helps the operations center “see the whole story and decide faster” rather than looking at isolated events.

Instant alerts to the people who must decide

When a face matches a watchlist entry, the system can send real-time notifications to selected devices:

• Mobile phones
• Apps
• Radios
• Sirens
• APIs, etc.

This reduces delay between the control room and the field.

From alert → automated response (Automation)

When upgraded to ASAP+, the platform can:

• Dispatch drones automatically to the incident area
• Trigger field devices based on predefined SOPs

whenever FR/LPR detects a situation that meets defined conditions—reducing time lost in critical minutes.

Linking Compliance and Worker Safety

FR can be used together with PPE Detection and Behavior Analysis to monitor high-risk spots on production lines and tie them into Compliance Monitoring.

This enables automatic alerts and reporting aligned with global standards such as ISO 27001, GDPR, NIST, SOC 2, ISO 45001—all within a single platform.

Why FR Should Run “On a Platform,” Not Just “On a Camera”

1) Unified Security System: Physical + Cyber in one view

ASAP connects data from CCTV, drones, bodycams, IoT, and cyber systems so they operate as one team, reducing silos and delays during emergencies.

2) Edge AI before Cloud: Faster and safer

Canal One’s IoT & Smart Integration architecture supports Edge AI Processing, which:

• Reduces latency
• Minimizes unnecessary transmission of personal data to the cloud

Ideal for sites with unstable networks or scenarios where every second counts.

3) On-the-Go Monitoring: Decide from anywhere

Users can view incidents and reports from:

• iPads
• Smartphones
• Existing control screens
• Existing communication devices

and follow events in real time, wherever they are on site or in the city.

4) Phase-by-phase growth, no rip-and-replace

ASAP is designed to connect to your existing devices immediately, then gradually add capabilities (such as ASAP+ for advanced automation) as you’re ready—helping you control CapEx/Opex over the long term.

Real-World Use Cases (Enterprise & Smart City)

• Integrated Operations Center (IOC)
  Combine FR / LPR / intrusion detection with environmental sensors in a single screen.
  Send real-time alerts on critical events to stakeholders, with one-click SOP action buttons ready to execute.
• Workforce safety in factories
  Use FR together with PPE and behavior analytics to reduce human error and generate automatic compliance reports to support audits.

Privacy-First Design from the Architecture Up

Canal One follows Privacy by Design, using:

• Edge-first processing
• Role-based access control
• Decision and access audit trails

and integrating international standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 45001, so that FR is used in a transparent, auditable, and policy-aligned way for Thai organizations.

How to Deploy Face Recognition “Effectively and Legally” (5-Step Roadmap)

1. Define objectives & KPIs
   • Access control, watchlist, compliance, incident response
   • Response-time targets and risk indicators
2. Connect CCTV / IoT / bodycams / drones to ASAP
   • Start from high-risk areas
   • Configure real-time notification channels your teams actually use
3. Design SOP → Action for Automation (ASAP+)
   • Automate responses only for confirmed events
   • Reduce false alarms in the field
4. Link Compliance Rules & Reporting
   • Let the system help flag violations and generate reports automatically.
5. Review Data Governance (Retention / Access / Consent)
   • Align with standards and internal policies (ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR).

From “Opening Doors” to “Protecting the Whole System”

Face Recognition is most powerful when it works as part of an integrated platform—not as a standalone door reader:

• Combined situational awareness
• Instant alerts
• SOP and Automation integration
• Strong privacy and compliance controls

All of this is achievable on Canal One’s ASAP Platform, designed for the realities of modern security in Thailand.

FAQ

How is Face Recognition different from a standard door access system?
On the ASAP Platform, FR works with LPR, intrusion detection, path tracking, real-time alerts, and automatic SOPs, helping you see context and act immediately, not just unlock doors.

Which channels can alerts be sent through?
Via LINE OA, iOS/Android apps, radios, sirens/strobes, APIs, and landlines—you choose what fits your teams and workflows.

Does it support automated actions and drones?
Yes. When upgraded to ASAP+, the system can automatically send drones to predefined incident locations and control field devices according to SOPs.

How is personal data handled?
The system uses Privacy-by-Design with Edge-first processing, access control, and audit trails, and integrates standards such as ISO 27001, NIST, GDPR, SOC 2, ISO 45001 to ensure real compliance and accountability.
