Tripod Turnstile + Biometric Attendance Terminal

Solution

Tripod turnstile integrated with biometric check-in for controlled gym member access.

Overview

Since 2022, HFSecurity has been working with multiple fitness centers across Malaysia to upgrade their gym access control and membership management systems. The solution provided includes tripod turnstiles combined with HFSECURITY’s biometric attendance devices, enabling automated member check-in and controlled entry through facial recognition, QR code, or RFID card verification.

This system helps fitness centers ensure that only registered members and authorized staff can enter, prevents misuse of gym memberships, and supports accurate attendance analytics for operational management.

Project Requirements & Challenges

The fitness centers needed a system that could:

  • Verify membership identity with high accuracy

  • Prevent unauthorized entry or use of shared membership cards

  • Handle high-frequency access during peak gym hours

  • Connect to existing gym membership management systems

Traditional manual check-in or simple card access methods were not sufficient, as they allowed easy sharing of access rights and lacked accurate attendance records. Therefore, an integrated biometric access control solution was essential.
