Device and system for electronic access control and surveillance

A device for electronic access control and surveillance, comprising:

• an electronic access control (EAC) module, comprising;
• a reader sensor that reads access request data, wherein the EAC module is constructed and arranged to generate access control data in response to receiving the access request data, the access control data having an authorization result establishing whether to authorize passage through a portal between a first area and a second area;
• a surveillance module constructed and arranged to receive surveillance data;
• an analytics module that analyzes at least one of the surveillance data and the access control data;
• a housing, wherein the EAC module and the analytics module are co-located at the housing at a region proximal the portal.

A system for electronic access control and surveillance, comprising:

• a device for electronic access control and surveillance, the device comprising:
• an electronic access control (EAC) module, comprising a reader sensor that reads access request data and in response generates access control data, wherein the EAC module is constructed and arranged to generate access control data in response to receiving the access request data, the access control data having an authorization result establishing whether to authorize passage through a portal between a first area and a second area;
• a surveillance module constructed and arranged to receive surveillance data, and
• a housing, wherein the EAC module and the surveillance module are co-located at the housing at a region proximal the portal;
• and
• a server in communication with the device, wherein at least one of the device and the server analyzes at least one of the surveillance data, the surveillance analytic data, the access control data and the access control analytic data.
