What is piggybacking?

What is piggybacking, and how can it be prevented in security revolving doors and security gates?

Piggybacking occurs when someone tries to gain access to a secure area by entering simultaneously with an authorised user. Whether intentional or accidental, piggybacking involves two individuals passing through a security door using a single authorisation.

In security revolving doors, piggybacking occurs when two users attempt to enter through the same segment. In security portals, it happens when two users try to access the secure area simultaneously.

Tailgating and Piggybacking in a Security Portal

Our high-security doors are designed to prevent unauthorised piggybacking using advanced technologies, such as ceiling-mounted sensor systems like StereoVision. These systems detect when more than one person occupies a segment intended for a single individual.
