What is NightKey?

NightKey® is a state of the art Identity Management System. It is the first publicly available large scale biometric access control and ID verification system designed for the hospitality industry. Built from the ground up by people that have had many years of experience in various and all aspects of the hospitality industry. It has been developed to give venues the best tool possible for managing patrons at a license venue.

The collection, storage and retrieval of personal information of a patron entering a licensed venue is something that should not be taken lightly. When done correctly, there are huge benefits that can be achieved for all concerned. It is important that the collection, storage and retrieval be done in accordance with legal and ethical obligations and this is ensured through the use of the NightKey® System.

How does NightKey work?

The process taken by NightKey® in dealing with the personal information of a patron is an easy to use, step by step, fully auditable process ensuring that at each stage the patrons' private details are appropriately protected and that the venue is compliant with the law. This provides both the patron and the venue with peace of mind when considering ID scanning and verification.

It involves a quick registration process made up of three easy steps:

Firstly the scanning of an ID, a biometric link to that ID is created and the capture of a high quality photo of the patron to complete the enrolment process. Once registered access to the venue is as easy as the patron placing their right index finger on the biometric reader as the only verification required is the patrons FingerPIN®. 

NightKey® comes with NightKey Manager, a sophisticated software tool. This allows you to quickly and easily review entries into your premises by nominating a date and search time. This information is displayed in the form of a filmstrip as patrons enter the venue. The filmstrip displays the photo from a patron ID and a live photo taken at point of entry for quick identification of a particular patron.

Our experience is that NightKey® is the only proven Australian solution that will improve the success and long term viability of your venue. Contact us today for a free, no-obligation assessment of your needs!
