Tailgating and Piggyback Detection Questions
What does tailgating and piggyback detection do in xSERVA?
Counts the people who pass a door against the credentials presented. When two people go through on one face, card or QR, xSERVA raises an alert tied to that exact door event.
Why does it matter?
A valid badge used by two people is the most common way a secure door is bypassed, and no card reader can see it.
Is it tied to the access record?
Yes. Every detection is attached to the access event it relates to, so an alert always arrives with the context to act on it.
