What it could enable

We’ve built a working face-detection, identity-matching and presence-awareness prototype that runs on local hardware — an in-house R&D project, not an off-the-shelf product. Here’s the kind of thing it opens up.

Access Control

Face-based entry instead of keycards — running on local hardware, with no third-party platform.

Presence & Occupancy

Recognise who’s in a room and trigger actions in response — lighting, alerts, or other automations.

Attendance Logging

Timestamped presence from a single camera — the basis for badge-free, hands-free attendance.

Computer Vision & AI

How it works

  • Real-time face detection from camera feeds — running entirely on local hardware
  • Identity matching against enrolled faces with multi-angle comparison for reliability
  • Presence and occupancy detection — know who is in a space without badges or manual check-ins
  • Local-first processing — biometric data stays on your hardware, nothing sent to the cloud, no per-face API bill from a cloud vision vendor
  • Guided enrolment that captures multiple face angles to improve recognition

We’ve built this from scratch as a working prototype. If access control, presence detection, or attendance logging sounds useful for your business, get in touch and we’ll give you an honest read on what’s achievable.

See it in practice

Morag is our active homelab project built on this stack — a distributed system that recognises who is in a room, responds to their voice, and controls the space around them. It’s how we push the technology to its limits before recommending it to clients.

Privacy & governance, by design

Face recognition means handling biometric data — a special category under UK GDPR. We build for that from the start, and we’ll help you deploy it the right way.

Local-first, data-minimising

Recognition runs on your own hardware — biometric templates stay on-site and aren’t sent to a cloud vision vendor. We capture only what a use case needs, and set clear retention so data doesn’t pile up.

Lawful basis & DPIA

Using biometrics to identify people needs an Article 6 lawful basis and a separate Article 9 condition, and the ICO expects a Data Protection Impact Assessment. We help you scope those — including where a less-intrusive alternative is the better answer — before anything goes live.

Every commercial deployment is assessed on its own facts — lawful basis, transparency to the people involved, access control, retention and security. This is an in-house R&D capability we tailor per engagement, not an off-the-shelf product; we’ll give you an honest read on what’s appropriate for your setting.
