Adding Security Value with AI-Powered Facial Recognition

VAANGO currently offers two cutting-edge technologies. SMART Desk is a holistic platform that is built to manage your office from the front desk. It enables entering and exiting your premises smoothly without compromising security. SMART Desk is built using next-generation technologies including artificial intelligence, machine learning, and facial recognition, making it the most secure platform in the world today. Face Check is an AI-powered software that crunches the feeds from multiple cameras, consolidates them, and provides a real-time feed of faces entering and exiting a building. This technology helps building owners understand who is inside their building in real-time, search hours of video footage quickly, and locate a specific person in the building instantly. Face Check can be applied to the transformation of enterprises, communities, and offices. The combination of building a proactive security system powered by face recognition technology can improve the security experience of enterprises and visitors.

“Our mission is to offer best-in-class solutions utilizing deep tech with top-class UX at affordable prices to our customers.”
