Door Controller - COSEC ARGO FACE
Advanced AI-powered Facial-Recognition Door Controller
Key Features
Contactless Credentials: Supports face recognition, mobile access via Bluetooth (BLE), QR codes, RFID cards, and PIN numbers.
Dual Camera System: Equipped with a 2MP surveillance-grade RGB camera for user identification and an infrared (IR) camera for live face detection to prevent spoofing/masquerade attacks.
High-Speed Performance: Uses a deep learning AI algorithm to match faces in less than 1 second (under 0.5 seconds for 1:1 matching).
Massive Capacity: Stores up to 50,000 user profiles, 200,000 face templates, and 500,000 event logs.
Durable Build: Features a 3.5-inch IPS touchscreen with Gorilla Glass, plus an IP65 weather-resistant and IK06 vandal-resistant rating.
Connectivity: Includes Ethernet, Power over Ethernet (PoE), Wi-Fi, USB, and optional 3G/4G/LTE support.
Overview
The Matrix COSEC ARGO FACE is an advanced AI-powered facial-recognition door controller designed for access control, time-attendance, visitor management and workforce-management applications. It uses deep-learning-based face recognition with fake-face detection and can perform 1:N identification against up to 200,000 face templates in under one second, while 1:1 verification can be completed in under 0.5 seconds. The terminal supports up to 50,000 users, 200,000 facial templates and 500,000 event records, providing capacity for enterprise-scale deployments. Authentication options include face, PIN, RFID card and Bluetooth Low Energy mobile credentials, while card variants support technologies such as EM Prox, MIFARE, DESFire, NFC, HID iCLASS and HID Prox depending on the selected model. A 3.5-inch capacitive IPS touchscreen with Gorilla Glass 3 provides a durable and intuitive interface for users. The COSEC ARGO FACE is engineered for flexible integration with modern building-security infrastructure. Communication options include Ethernet, built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB and optional 3G/4G/LTE through a USB modem, while IEEE 802.3af PoE allows power and network connectivity to be delivered through a single Ethernet cable. The controller provides interfaces for an external reader through RS-232 and Wiegand, along with a door-lock relay rated up to 30 VDC / 2 A. Its compact enclosure measures approximately 186 × 74 × 50 mm for wall mounting and can also be flush-mounted for a cleaner architectural appearance. By combining the RGB and IR cameras, deep-learning processing, multiple credential technologies and network connectivity in a single device, ARGO FACE is well suited for corporate offices, commercial buildings, factories, data centres, educational facilities and other environments requiring fast and contactless access. VEGA Digital IT Solutions LLC provides Matrix COSEC ARGO FACE solutions as a professional vendor and system integrator across Dubai and the UAE, supporting complete access-control projects from design and installation through programming and commissioning. VEGA Digital can integrate COSEC ARGO FACE with Matrix COSEC access-control platforms, electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, door contacts, request-to-exit devices, emergency break-glass units, external RFID readers, PoE/network infrastructure and compatible time-attendance or HR systems. Services include site surveys, device positioning, facial enrollment, RFID and mobile credential configuration, Ethernet/Wi-Fi and PoE setup, door-lock and reader integration, access-level programming, attendance configuration, testing, commissioning, troubleshooting and system expansion. For current projects, Matrix lists the COSEC ARGO FACE E/M/I variants as phased out from 10 August 2026, with repair support through 10 August 2029, so supply for new installations should be confirmed based on availability or an appropriate current Matrix replacement selected.
