Members in, freeloaders out
Ottica AI verifies members by face for fast, frictionless entry while flagging anyone who is not a paying member — all processed securely on-site, with nothing to share or scan.
Shared tags are lost revenue at the door
Access tags and cards are routinely shared, lent and passed back through the door, letting non-members train for free and eroding membership revenue. In unstaffed and 24-hour facilities the problem is worse, and manual checks create queues that frustrate the very members who are paying. Every shared credential is a paying membership you did not sell.
Tag and card sharing is rife
A single tag can let multiple people in, turning one membership into many free workouts.
Unstaffed hours are vulnerable
24-hour and low-staff facilities are especially exposed to unauthorised access and tailgating.
Check-in queues frustrate members
Manual verification at peak times slows entry for the members who are doing the right thing.
Frictionless for members, closed to everyone else
Ottica protects membership revenue while making entry effortless for genuine members.
Streamlined face-based check-in
Members are recognised as they approach the entry, so check-in is instant and queues at peak times disappear.
Enhanced security and access control
Only verified, paying members gain entry, protecting your facility during staffed and unstaffed hours alike.
Real-time non-member alerts
When someone who is not a current member attempts entry, staff are notified instantly so they can respond.
Eliminate tag and card sharing
Because access is tied to a verified member, shared tags and lent cards stop working — recovering lost membership revenue.
Secure on-premise processing
All facial matching happens on a local server at your facility. Member biometric data never leaves the site or goes to the cloud.
Smart cameras at the door
Ottica supplies smart cameras and on-site hardware for your entry points, engineered to run member verification as one integrated system.

Questions, answered.
No. Ottica recognises only enrolled, paying members. A non-member attempting entry triggers an alert but is not identified or retained — only anonymous aggregate analytics are produced.
Recognition applies only to members who choose to enrol with consent. Where a member prefers not to enrol, you can continue to offer your existing access method alongside Ottica.
Entirely on-premise, on a local server at your facility. No data is sent to the cloud, and records are automatically deleted after your configured retention period.
Entry is tied to the verified identity of a current member rather than a transferable token, so a shared tag or lent card no longer grants access to anyone but the member it belongs to.
