On Event Day

A valid scan, and the turnstile turns

The guest holds up the QR from their email. The device reads it, checks it belongs to this event, records the attendance online, and drives the door relay — all in the time it takes them to walk up to the barrier.

What Happens

Four things, in about a second

QR is readFrom the guest's phone screen, straight off the email.
CheckedIs this pass real, and does it belong to this event?
RecordedAttendance is posted online immediately, not batched later.
Door opensThe relay fires and the tri-bar or door releases.
Door Connected

Open a barrier, or just take the register

The same device does both. It's one setting, and it's worth deciding before the day rather than on it.

Door connected

Controls the barrier

The device drives the relay, so a valid scan physically releases the tri-bar or door. Nobody gets past without a pass that checks out.

  • Tri-bar turnstile or door release
  • Entry is enforced, not just observed
  • Frees your staff from checking passes by hand
  • Right for ticketed or restricted events
Record only

Takes attendance, opens nothing

The relay is never driven — the device simply records who scanned. Useful at an open entrance where you want the register but not a barrier.

  • Attendance recorded exactly the same way
  • No turnstile or door hardware needed
  • Good for open halls and free events
  • Can be switched on later if you add a barrier
Extra Checks

What else the device can insist on

Available on the BMO TF, and switched on only if your event needs them.

Liveness check

A blink is required, so holding up a photograph doesn't get anyone through.

Thermal screening

An optional temperature reading against a warning threshold, with the option to log or block.

Badge validity window

On-screen badges can be set to stay valid for a limited number of seconds rather than indefinitely.

Where it's set

All of it lives in one settings screen

Door connected, liveness, thermal type and threshold, and badge validity are all on the device's operation settings. We configure them with you when the scanner is installed, and they can be changed between events.

  • One screen, no separate access-control system
  • Changed per event if your needs differ
  • Same device runs staff attendance afterwards

Do you need a barrier, or just the register?

Tell us about the entrance and we'll advise whether a turnstile is worth it, quote the hardware, and set it up.
