Face Recognition and Verification for the Middle East
FaceTagr gives organisations in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman on-device face recognition for staff and student attendance, exam candidate checks, visitor access and CCTV. It runs on the phone or on-site hardware, typically matches in under a second, and keeps working when the network does not.
Deployed in: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Bahrain.

Deployment options
FaceTagr can run on the device, on your own premises for larger deployments, or in-country. In-country hosting is available in Dubai.
Why on-device matching suits large, multi-site teams
Site and branch connectivity is uneven. Matching on the device keeps check-ins working, and results sync when the network returns.
Passive liveness and face matching help stop buddy punching and proxy attendance.
Because matching runs on the device, you decide what leaves it.
Data protection
Biometric data is regulated across the region, for example by the UAE PDPL, the Saudi PDPL, Qatar's PDPPL, Bahrain's PDPL and Oman's PDPL, and by data privacy rules in Kuwait. We help you set up each deployment to fit your local rules. Confirm your requirements with your legal advisor.
FaceTagr's face recognition engine is tested by NIST FRTE, with up to 99.91% match accuracy.
