Demographic Qualifiers

Demographic qualifiers may be added to access control media to enhance the guest experience. Qualifiers may be integrated with other applications to trigger audio or visual playback based on qualifiers such as:

• Language
• Age
• Education Level

Demographic Qualifiers also enable the collection of statistical information about who is using specific access points. Statistical information can be useful when trying to determine things such as percentage of domestic product by zip code or when trying to determine whether or not site entrance traffic patterns are sufficient to meet the demands of your guests.

Last Known Location

Last known location data can be used to track a lost person’s movements around a site. Graphic overlays may be created if desired to track movement of a person across a venue.

• Welcome messages
• Advertisements
• Instructions
• Warnings
• Member party messages including
