The Perfect Anti-Tailgating Solution For Gyms: Suprema & Vivotek Using AI Powered Intelligence🥊

The Problem Every Gym Faces
Tailgating is one of the most common issues in gyms. Non-members slip in behind paying members, leading to lost revenue, overcrowding, and safety risks. Traditional access control helps, but it’s not foolproof — people still find ways to sneak in.

The Real Game-Changer
The breakthrough comes when Suprema access control and Vivotek AI cameras actually talk to each other. Instead of just recording or unlocking doors, they work together to actively stop tailgating in real time.

Stage 1: Entry Validation 📷

When members approach the door, the AI camera built into Suprema’s access control reader already checks how many people are in frame. If it detects more than one person trying to enter on a single scan, the system refuses entry until each member scans individually. This forces people to check in properly and drastically reduces casual tailgating.

Stage 2: Smart People Counting ⚡

Once members swipe their cards, the Suprema access control system tells the Vivotek Camera how many people to expect. For example, if two cards are scanned, the camera expects two people to pass through. If a mysterious third person tries to sneak in, the AI instantly detects the anomaly, flags it, and alerts management.

The result? The system isn’t just logging data — it’s actively validating entry, making tailgating almost impossible to pull off undetected.
