Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Common questions about our gym access control system in Singapore.
How does a face recognition gym access control system work?
The facial recognition terminal matches the member's face against the registered records, checks whether the membership is active and authorised for access, and then opens the connected barrier. If access is not authorised, entry is refused.
Can the gym operate 24 hours without staff?
Yes. With facial recognition access control, turnstiles or swing barriers, membership management software and appropriate security arrangements, gym operators can support automated 24-hour member access.
Can it integrate with existing gym management software?
Integration may be possible through API connections, depending on the compatibility and availability of the existing gym software's API.
What happens when a membership expires?
Access permissions can be configured according to membership validity. When a membership expires or becomes inactive, the system can restrict gym entry until the membership is renewed or reactivated.
Can condominium gyms use this system?
Yes. The solution can be configured for condominium and MCST gym facilities to manage authorised resident access and monitor gym usage records.
Is face recognition better than access cards?
Face recognition provides hands-free identity verification and reduces reliance on physical access cards that may be lost, borrowed or shared.
Does the system require members' NRIC information?
NRIC collection is not necessarily required for facial recognition enrolment. Gym operators should establish an appropriate member identification and personal data handling process.
Is facial recognition covered under Singapore's PDPA?
Facial data must be handled responsibly under applicable Singapore PDPA requirements. Gym operators should provide appropriate notices, protect personal data and establish suitable data retention and deletion procedures.
