Grand Terra - 36 Cat Linh is a Grade A complex with retail spaces and offices, only 300 metres from the Cat Linh metro station. Nestled within the economic hub of Dong Da District, it is close to high-end commercial and residential projects and international five-star hotels like Pan Pacific and Grand Mercure Ha Noi. Grand Terra was officially launched in December 2023, delivering sustainable spaces and high-end experiences to retailers and office tenants. ZKTeco is honoured to have had the opportunity to provide them an integrated solution of access control, visitor management, video surveillance and parking management.

Solution 

The Grand Terra consists of a main commercial building and a carpark. ZKTeco’s deployment of the integrated solution include: 

For the Building 

Access Control of the Main Entrance 

For the main entrance into the building, ZKTeco deployed G4-Pro Hybrid-Biometric Access Control Standalone Terminals, which are installed on the SBTL8000 Series Swing Barriers, to form a multi-channel entrance into the lift lobby. All the regular users of the building are registered with their personal information and their face data on the ZKBio CVSecurity Integrate Security Management Software Platform. To access the building to different floors, instead of card swiping like commonly seen, they are only required to scan their faces, and upon successful identity authentication, they are allowed access to the lift lobby.

Access Control inside the Building 

A unit of KF1100 Facial Authentication Reader has been deployed at each stair door of every floor of the building for facial authentication. For the VIP room located at the 9th floor, and the VIP restrooms at each floor, G5 Facial Authentication Standalone Terminals are deployed for identity authentication, only the authorized users and guests are allowed access. For the areas that required enhance security, including server rooms, security rooms and technical rooms, KF1100 Readers are also deployed for the access control, and only the authorized staffs are allowed access. 

Visitor Management 

At the main entrance of the building, a FaceKiosk H13C Facial Authentication Self-service Kiosk is installed for visitor management.Visitors arriving at the building have two methods to register their entry and exit:

A. If the user has sent an electronic invitation (SMS or email) to the visitor prior to the visit, the visitor can register their information by accessing the provided website. After completing the registration, the system will automatically send a QR code to the visitor. When the visitor arrives, they can scan the QR code on the FaceKiosk H13C and then scan their face. After successful identity authentication, they can access the main entrance through facial recognition.

B. Even without pre-registering online, visitors can still self-register their information and scan their face on the FaceKiosk K13C upon arrival. After successful verification, they can also access the main entrance through facial recognition.

For the Carpark 

Parking Access Management 

Users who drive are pre-registered with their vehicles’information such as license plate numbers on the ZKBio CVSecurity. At the carpark entrance, an LPRS1000 License Plate Recognition System, BG1000 Vehicle Barriers, and SpeedFace-V5L Facial Authentication StandaloneTerminals are installed. 

Upon users’arrival to the entrance of the carpark, there are several methods of access and exit of the carpark:

During normal working hours, if a user drives a registered car, the LRPS1000 will automatically identify the license numbers of the car, and grant access and exit; 

During normal working hours, if a user drives an unregistered car which cannot be identified by the LPRS1000, the users may perform facial authentication with the SpeedFace-V5L installed at the gate of the carpark. Upon successful identity authentication, the user will be granted access or exit;

Before or after the normal working hours, in order to enhance security, even if a user drives a registered car identified by the LPRS1000, the user still needs to be verified with facial authentication, in order to be granted access or exit.

Visitor Management 

A TBM01 QR code ticket dispenser is installed and connected to an LPRS1000 system. In case the LPRS1000 reads the vehicle license plate numbers and confirms that it is not a registered user's vehicle, it then prints out a QR code ticket with the relevant vehicle information and allows the vehicle to enter. When the visitor is leaving the carpark, they only need to scan the QR code ticket into the TBM02 QR Code Collector installed at the exit.The system will verify then the license plate, and the visitor will then be allowed to drive out.

Video Surveillance

ZKTeco has deployed High-Definition Video Surveillance Cameras including DL-854N28B-S7, EL-854N38I-E3, and BL-855P48A-S7 at different main access points and various areas of the building, elevators and carpark that require security monitoring. All the recorded videos are transmitted to the ZK-VS-8624-8G ProfessionalVideo Server and managed by the Z8536NMR 36-channel Network Video Recorder. A total number of 6 units of ZK-LED55A-2K-1.8MM large display screens have been installed to form a large video wall to display the live broadcast from all the surveillance cameras in real-time.

Central Management

All the devices of access control, visitor management, parking management and video surveillance, have been connected to and centrally managed by the ZKBioCV Security Integrated Security Management Software Platform.

Advantages

Ultimate Precision of Identity Authentication for Effective Access Control

As a solution provider with solid background in biometric technologies and research and development, ZKTeco's biometric devices provide highly efficient and accurate identity authentication capabilities. The ZKTeco G4-Pro Facial Authentication Standalone Terminal installed at the main entrance of the office building offers quick yet precise facial authentication. Its advanced facial authentication algorithm, combined with a high-performance 64-bit Octa-core 1.8GHz CPU and a dual-lens 2MP camera, enables facial recognition from up to 5 meters away and can accurately identify faces within 0.5 seconds, which are faster than most of the typical RFID card reading time, making it suitable for managing large-scale access control.

The ZKTeco SBTL8000 swing barrier has a simple and stylish design, and only occupies a compact footprint suitable for installation in the lift lobby. It can achieve speed of throughput up to 30 people per minute, efficiently handling the high traffic during rush hours without causing congestion.

Carpark Covered with Security Protection

In addition to the main entrance of the building, the carpark is another access point that is often neglected, posing security risks. ZKTeco has integrated biometric authentication into the carpark access management with ZKTeco SpeedFace-V5L Facial Authentication Terminals, which can be integrated with the BG1000 Barriers and LPRS1000 System, allowing Facial Authentication access control to be extended to the parking lot. The SpeedFace-V5L enables accurate identity authentication of drivers from up to 1 meter away, enhancing the overall security of the access control system.

Carpark is an often neglected premise as a major access point, posing security risks. To achieve comprehensive security, in addition to the personal and property safety within the office building, the carpark must also be considered as it has staff access and the parked vehicles are valuable assets.

The advantage of the ZKTeco solution lies in extending biometric authentication to parking management, and integrating it with the license plate recognition system, forming a secure, powerful, and efficient parking management system. The SpeedFace-V5L enables accurate identity authentication of drivers from up to 1 meter away, enhancing the overall security of the access control system.

By registering license plates in the ZKBio CVSecurity, users can register one or multiple vehicles. The LPRS1000 system can quickly and accurately identify different license plates, improving the efficiency of parking access while reducing the risk of manual identification errors.

The integration of facial authentication with SpeedFace-V5L with LPRS1000 offers several benefits. First, users can verify their identity using facial authentication, even if they are driving an unregistered vehicle, preventing access issues and congestion. Additionally, the facial authentication feature effectively reduces the security risks in the carpark, especially during non-working hours when the integration of license plate recognition and facial authentication provides a two-step authentication, ensuring that only the genuine vehicle owners can drive their vehicles out, preventing vehicle theft or unauthorized access to the parking area.

Furthermore, the security level of parking management can be flexibly adjusted based on different requirements. For example, on certain specific days when heightened security is needed, the management can set the system to require two-step authentication 24/7 in the ZKBio CVSecurity, minimizing security risks, and then revert to the standard license plate recognition mode when appropriate.

Powerful Video Surveillance Minimizing Security Risks

ZKTeco's video surveillance cameras provide high-definition video monitoring, with the DL-854N28B-S7 and EL-854N38I-E3 models capturing 4MP video, and the BL-855P48A-S7 even reaching 5MP resolution. These cameras also have excellent environmental adaptability to capture clear color images in as low as 0.01 lux, and monochrome images in 0.001 lux. ZKTeco has selected the appropriate models based on the customer's specific requirements. For areas requiring wider coverage, the BL-855P48A-S7 with its 80-meter IR range have been deployed. In locations prone to potential collisions, the DL-854N28B-S7 with its IK10 impact protection rating have been installed. For critical areas, the EL-854N38I-E3 is deployed, as it offers smart video analytics capabilities such as facial detection, perimeter intrusion detection, and area monitoring etc, enabling security personnel to be promptly alerted of any security incidents.

All the video surveillance cameras are connected to the ZK-VS-8624-8G server and managed by the Z8536NMR 36-channel recording device, ensuring the capture of the most precise videos. Despite the large number of surveillance locations, ZKTeco has installed a total of 6 ZK-LED55A-2K-1.8MM large display screens, allowing security personnel to monitor all the camera broadcasts in real-time without having to constantly switch between different views, significantly reducing the risk of overlooking any security concerns.
