Can you walk into an event with nothing but your face? Yes. Face ID accreditation validates entry in about 2 seconds: the guest uploads a photo at pre-registration and, on the day, a camera recognizes them and opens the door. No ticket, no QR to find, no queue. For the right event, it’s the smoothest entrance there is.
At SOMOS DER we run accreditation — QR and Face ID — for corporate and high-profile events. Here’s how to choose.
How Face ID works
- Pre-registration with photo. Each guest uploads their data and a photo; the client reviews and approves the list.
- Profile generation. A biometric profile is created, each linked to a backup QR.
- Validation at the door. The guest steps in front of the camera and is recognized in ~2 seconds.
The organizer keeps full control: you define who’s on the list and which zones each person can access.
Why it’s faster than QR
With QR, the guest has to find their code, show it, and wait for the scan. With Face ID, they just walk toward the camera. Multiplied across a guest list, those seconds decide whether the door flows or jams.
The 1,500-person case: Shell
For Shell Argentina’s annual event, we ran pre-registration for 1,500 executives — each uploaded their data and photo through a landing page we built and operated. That database fed the facial-recognition system that validated entry in 2 seconds per person, with no physical credential. See the Shell case.
The backup that prevents the awkward moment
No biometric system is perfect — lighting, a mask or a new look can stop a face from validating. That’s why Face ID never runs alone: each profile carries an integrated QR backup. Recognition handles the majority; the backup guarantees nobody is left outside.
When to choose what
- Face ID — corporate, VIP, high-profile or re-entry events where a clean, fast door is part of the experience.
- QR — large general-admission events, where a unique QR is enough and more economical.
The tech matters, but so does who operates it. We bring both — to the door. See our access control & accreditation service.
