Systems and methods for access control using multi-factor validation

An access control system for a restricted area, comprising:

• a memory storing instructions;
• and
• a processor coupled with the memory and configured to:
• determine a confidence level associated with first recognition information from a first recognition system is below a threshold, wherein the first recognition system is comprised in a node installed at an access point of the restricted area comprises a non facial recognition system, wherein the first recognition information corresponds to information on an identity of an individual attempting to access the restricted area;
• receive second recognition information from a second recognition system that is comprised in a different node and includes a mobile verification system configured to wirelessly communicate with a mobile device of the individual, in response to determining the confidence level;
• compare the second recognition information to stored recognition data;
• transmit a signal to an access gate to provide access for the individual to the restricted area in response to the second recognition information matching the stored recognition data;
• and
• deny the access for the individual to the restricted area in response to the second recognition information not matching the stored recognition data.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a processor for controlling access to a restricted area, the instructions comprising code to:

• determine a confidence level associated with first recognition information from a first recognition system is below a threshold, wherein the first recognition system is comprised in a node installed at an access point of the restricted area, wherein the first recognition information corresponds to information on an identity of an individual attempting to access a restricted area;
• receive second recognition information from a second recognition system that is comprised in a different node and includes a mobile verification system configured to wirelessly communicate with a mobile device of the individual, in response to determining the confidence level;
• compare the second recognition information to stored recognition data;
• transmit a signal to an access gate to provide access for the individual to the restricted area in response to the second recognition information matching the stored recognition data;
• and
• deny the access for the individual to the restricted area in response to the second recognition information not matching the stored recognition data.
