How It Helps
Unlike other systems that only scan for known individuals, eConnect enrolls and stores every single face that enters your venue automatically. This creates a searchable facial identity archive that gives you the power to:
Investigate incidents using historical face search
Identify unknown individuals after the fact
Build case files with timestamps, locations, and visual records
With associations technology, our system identifies patterns between people, including who they enter with, how often they appear together, and where. Whether you're tracking coordinated fraud, gang affiliations, or criminal networks, our platform maps social proximity automatically.
All of this is layered over your existing infrastructure. eConnect integrates seamlessly with:
Your current surveillance camera system
Weapons detection systems for layered threat defense
StarMicros for vendor and visitor badging
POS, access control, and ID scanning platforms
The result?. Total awareness across every face, every vehicle, and every access point—without slowing down operations.
Our Key Capabilities
What We Do for Stadiums
eConnect gives stadiums and arenas the power to unify identity intelligence across facial recognition, license plate tracking, access control, and vendor management—without requiring any new hardware. Our platform is trusted by some of the largest and most advanced venues in the world.
Persistent Facial Enrollment
Every detected face is enrolled and logged. Search by face, not just time or location.
Association Mapping
Automatically map connections between guests, staff, and vendors.

Real-Time Banned Individual Detection
Proactively intercept flagged persons as they approach your venue—on foot or in a vehicle.
Employee, Vendor & Contractor Monitoring
Our integration with StarMicros supports full vendor credentialing and badging, giving you complete awareness of who’s in the building.
VIP Guest Recognition
Automatically identify and alert hospitality staff when high-value individuals arrive—before they reach the gate.
License Plate Recognition (LPR)
Log every vehicle entering your property. Connect license plates to faces, watchlists, and approved vendor schedules.
Weapons Detection Integration
Integrate facial recognition directly with weapon detection systems for real-time threat prioritization and response.

Scalable, Seamless Integration
No infrastructure overhaul needed. eConnect runs on your existing cameras and integrates with your current surveillance, access control, and VMS platforms.
Use Case
Challenge
A major stadium is preparing for a sold-out event with over 30,000 guests expected to enter through multiple gates in a matter of hours. The venue’s security goal is comprehensive: know exactly who is on the property—guests, vendors, staff, VIPs, and potential threats. Security also has a large internal list of banned patrons, and is working with local metro authorities to identify individuals on regional watchlists and active warrants. They also need to identify flagged license plates tied to stolen vehicles, prevent unauthorized vendor access, and alert security in real time about high-risk individuals.
Solution
eConnect deployed a multi-layered identity intelligence system integrating facial recognition, license plate recognition (LPR), vendor badging (via StarMicros), and real-time alerting across the venue. Every face that enters is automatically enrolled, allowing for historical search, alert triggers, and association tracking. LPR captures and cross-references every vehicle entering the property. Vendor access is tightly controlled with credentialed badging, and alerts are pushed to mobile security teams for real-time response.
