Smart City & Public Safety
Facial Recognition Technology
We deploy AI-powered facial recognition systems for public safety and secure access control — integrated with existing CCTV infrastructure, watchlist management, real-time alerting, and full governance and compliance frameworks to ensure responsible, accountable use of biometric technology.
What We Deliver
Facial Recognition Capabilities
Ethical, accurate facial recognition — from AI engine through CCTV integration, watchlist management, compliance framework, and operator training.
Watchlist Matching
Real-time matching of faces detected by CCTV against watchlists of persons of interest — generating operator alerts with confidence scores and facial comparison images for human review.
Access Control Biometrics
Frictionless facial recognition access control — verifying identity at entry points for secure facilities without cards or PINs, with anti-spoofing liveness detection.
CCTV Integration
Integrating facial recognition AI with existing CCTV management systems — adding biometric capability to cameras already in place without ripping out infrastructure.
Watchlist Management
Secure, audited watchlist management platform — adding, updating, and removing subjects with full authorisation controls and automatic expiry of entries.
Edge & Cloud Processing
Flexible deployment models — edge processing on smart cameras for low latency, cloud analytics for retrospective search of large video archives.
Governance & Compliance Framework
Data protection impact assessments, code of practice, operator policies, and ongoing compliance monitoring — ensuring facial recognition is deployed legally and ethically.
How We Work
Our Facial Recognition Deployment Process
From legal assessment through live deployment — a structured approach that ensures facial recognition is accurate, accountable, and compliant.
Legal & Ethical Assessment
Assessing the legal basis for deployment, data protection obligations, and ethical considerations — defining the governance framework before any technology deployment begins.
Use Case & Algorithm Selection
Defining precise use cases and selecting AI algorithms validated for accuracy across demographic groups — avoiding biased systems that create false positive risks.
CCTV & Infrastructure Integration
Integrating the facial recognition engine with existing cameras and CCTV management systems — validating video quality and coverage for target use cases.
Watchlist & Policy Configuration
Configuring watchlist management, alert workflows, human review processes, and operator interface — with audit trail for all access and decisions.
Testing & Accuracy Validation
Comprehensive testing including false positive/negative rates, demographic bias testing, and operational scenario validation before go-live.
Training, Go-Live & Governance
Operator training, live deployment with close monitoring, and ongoing governance review — ensuring the system operates within legal and ethical boundaries.
Why SharpLogic
Why organisations choose us for facial recognition
Ethics-first approach
We build governance frameworks before we deploy cameras — ensuring facial recognition is used only for legitimate, lawful purposes with full accountability.
Demographic accuracy
Algorithm selection validated across demographic groups — we will not deploy facial recognition that has materially different accuracy rates for different populations.
Human-in-the-loop
Facial recognition systems designed with mandatory human review of all alerts — technology that assists, not replaces, human decision-making.
GDPR & legal compliance
Data protection impact assessments, lawful basis assessment, and ongoing compliance monitoring — managing the legal complexity of biometric data deployment.
