Door Security Perfected
Secure the open door. Locks are great, but when an access-controlled door is open, your system is blind to tailgating and direction violations. Door Detective® uses advanced infrared technology to detect and prevent unauthorized entry while maintaining smooth traffic flow—becoming your facility's essential door security firewall.
Close the Security Gap
Door Detective eliminates the blind spot in traditional access control systems by ensuring only one authorized person can pass through an open door per credential, in the approved direction.
Choose a Door Detective that’s Right For You
Four specialized models designed to meet your security requirements and budget. From compact installations to wide openings, each Door Detective offers unique capabilities for different operational needs.
