Distribution: Restricted to Sponsor and Project Team The SeeLock module of Compute.Access is a project that has the objective of reducing the possibility of unrestricted access to offices. The basic idea is to use the barcode on staff and students’ identification cards along with face recognition techniques to determine if an individual that intends to enter an office is authorized. The motivation behind the project includes reducing recurrent costs, as well as increasing functionality. Purchasing an existing option off the market would expose the university to a cost of approximately $100 million over a period of 10 years. As a result, the Principal has decided to approve a project to develop a prototype with a preliminary estimated budget of $5 million. The additional required functionality allows cross referencing a picture of an individual aiming to enter an area with the ID presented, as well as allowing an authorized person to indicate whether there is duress. If a duress signal (to be determined) is detected, control of the door is passed directly to a security unit, along with a video feed of the door area. It is assumed that the items listed in appendix A can be outsourced. On demand reports of user accesses should be available. The prototype is to be installed at the main Computing office however full documentation of the procedures used to create the product is expected to allow easy replication to other locations. It is important that the system be completed and tested at a point in time when traffic is low, and as such the system needs to be completed by December 2023 to allow testing in the first week of January 2024.
