  • Advanced SaaS investigation features available in Premium to speed forensic search across video and events

Eikonatech fit considerations

  • Assess accuracy and false-positive/negative rates for facial recognition and mask/temperature screening
  • Check available APIs and integration support for RTLS/IoT and reporting exports
  • Which existing workplace, identity, messaging, or access systems should this connect with?
  • Which plan structure best matches your number of locations, visitor volume, and rollout timeline?
  • How well does Eikonatech match your busiest visitor, contractor, or reception workflow?
