System and method for authorizing presence of entities in monitored zones

A system for authorizing presence of at least one entity in at least one zone, the system comprising:

• at least one monitoring system comprising at least one detector, at least one beacon, and at least one tamper detector communicatively coupled to each other, wherein the at least one monitoring system is configured to:
• detect, via the at least one detector and at least one processor of the at least one monitoring system, an occurrence of a triggering event associated with the at least one entity and transmit, via the at least one beacon and the at least one processor, a credential authentication request in response to the occurrence of the triggering event,
• wherein the triggering event comprises one or more of:
• a geofence entry of the at least one entity within the at least one zone, an input received on a first electronic device associated with the at least one entity, or an expiration of a preset time interval for authorizing presence of the at least one entity in the at least one zone,
• periodically determine, via the at least one tamper detector and the at least one processor, tamper status of the first electronic device associated with the at least one entity,
• in absence of a response to the credential authentication request from the first electronic device within a predetermined time interval or a failure to authenticate the first electronic device based on a response to the credential authentication request or detection of a tampering event at the first electronic device based on the tamper status, trigger, via the at least one processor, a fallback authentication sequence to authorize the presence of the at least one entity in the at least one zone,
• transmit, via the at least one beacon, a biometric authentication request as the fallback authentication sequence to authorize the presence of the at least one entity in the at least one zone;
• and
• at least one second electronic device associated with the at least one entity, the at least one second electronic device configured to:
• receive, via a transceiver, the biometric authentication request from the at least one monitoring system;
• obtain, via a user interface and a processor, biometric data of the at least one entity in response to the biometric authentication request;
• and
• transmit, via the transceiver, the biometric data of the at least one entity to the at least one monitoring system,
• wherein the at least one monitoring system further comprises a response device, and is configured to:
• receive, via the beacon, the biometric data of the at least one entity,
• authenticate, via the at least one processor, the at least one entity based on the received biometric data,
• authorize, via the at least one processor, the presence of the at least one entity for the preset time interval upon the authentication, and
• deactivate, via the at least one processor, the response device based on the authorization.
