Salto expands its biometric access portfolio, extending face recognition access to the North American market and beyond.
Salto continues to expand its biometric access portfolio with Salto XS4 Face, a face recognition access control solution designed to deliver fast, secure, and hands-free access while prioritising privacy, flexibility, and user experience.
Salto XS4 Face’s face recognition technology is engineered to provide convenient, secure access to Salto access points, requiring only the user’s face as a credential and granting access in under a second. Each user gains access effortlessly through a unique access credential – their face – eliminating the need for physical keys or keycards.
Expanding biometric access into North America
With the introduction of XS4 Face to the North American market, Salto continues to strengthen its global biometric access strategy. This expansion reflects growing demand for secure, frictionless, and privacy-first access solutions across commercial and enterprise environments in North America. By extending face recognition access to this market, Salto is broadening the reach of its biometric portfolio while maintaining a consistent, unified approach to smart access across regions.
XS4 Face makes access simple and intuitive, whilst meeting the highest security and privacy requirements. With automated and streamlined hardware and software installation, deployment is faster and easier, removing common installation and operational challenges. Built-in security and privacy ensure a safe, seamless user experience, enabling quick access to spaces and saving time while maintaining a secure environment.
Simple deployment, single-sourced solution
XS4 Face is designed for straightforward deployment, with simplified hardware installation and automated software configuration and commissioning. No third-party software or additional integration is required. The entire solution, including algorithm, hardware, software, and ongoing support, is delivered by Salto and works seamlessly with existing Salto door locks and building infrastructure.
Fast, mobile self-enrolment
XS4 Face provides an intuitive enrolment service, making onboarding users quick and easy – without the need to download an app. Onboarding can be done from anywhere, on any device. Users do not need to come to a central point to register their faces. Instead, XS4 Face guides them through an easy mobile self-enrolment process, ensuring a frictionless onboarding experience.
Advanced face recognition access control technology
Salto XS4 Face is designed with privacy at its core. The local, on-premise system does not store any images. When a user approaches the XS4 Face Camera, their image is captured and converted into a biometric template for comparison with the gallery of enrolled users. In all cases, the access request image and the resulting biometric template are deleted within 0.3 seconds.
Built-in liveness detection helps prevent spoofing attempts that use photos, videos, or masks, ensuring only genuine users gain access.
Effortless and secure access
Powered by Salto’s advanced access control technology, XS4 Face works with existing electronic Salto door locks and building infrastructure. XS4 Face merges convenience and security, ensuring a smooth entry experience every time.
XS4 Face is currently integrated into Salto Space, pioneering Salto SVN data-on-card access control.
Flexible credentials within the Salto smart access ecosystem
As part of Salto’s smart access ecosystem, XS4 Face supports multiple credential options, allowing organisations to design access strategies that fit different users, environments, and security requirements. These include face recognition, mobile or digital keys, RFID keycards or fobs, and PIN codes.
With XS4 Face, Salto delivers a secure, scalable access control solution that balances privacy, convenience, and control - supporting organisations worldwide as they adopt biometric technologies within a unified, future-ready smart access ecosystem.
