How It Works
From employee enrollment to continuous authentication—here's how Owl Eyes secures your workforce at every access point.
The Authentication Lifecycle
Employee Enrollment
One-time biometric enrollment creates a secure template for each employee. Enrollment can be done via mobile device, desktop webcam, or dedicated enrollment stations.
Mobile Enrollment
Employees receive a secure link via email or SMS. They open it on their phone, capture their face (and optionally voice), and they're done.
- No app download required
- Works on iOS & Android
- Remote enrollment supported
Desktop Enrollment
For in-office enrollment, employees can use their workstation webcam. IT can supervise enrollment or allow self-service.
- Webcam-based capture
- IT-supervised option
- Bulk enrollment tools
Enrollment Stations
Dedicated kiosks for high-volume enrollment. Ideal for manufacturing, warehouses, and organizations with shift workers.
- Optimized hardware
- Badge printing integration
- Walk-up enrollment
What Happens During Enrollment
Employee proves identity (badge, manager approval, or ID document)
Multiple angles captured with liveness check to prevent photo fraud
Short passphrase recorded for voice biometric template (Enterprise+)
Biometric data converted to encrypted mathematical template
Daily Authentication
Once enrolled, employees authenticate using their biometrics. Authentication is fast (under 1 second), frictionless, and works across all access points.
Physical Access
Look at the camera, door unlocks. No badge needed.
< 1 secondWorkstation Login
Biometric replaces or augments password login.
< 1 secondStep-Up Auth
Verify identity before high-risk actions.
1-2 secondsVoice Auth
Authenticate over phone or hands-free.
2-3 secondsAuthentication Flow
Real-Time Security
Every authentication is protected by multiple layers of AI-powered security. We detect and block spoofing attempts, deepfakes, and anomalous behavior.
Liveness Detection
Passive and active liveness ensures a real person is present—not a photo, video, or mask.
Deepfake Detection
AI models trained on millions of samples catch synthetic faces and face swaps.
Injection Attack Prevention
Detects virtual cameras, emulators, and man-in-the-middle attacks.
Impossible Travel
Flags if the same employee authenticates from two distant locations too quickly.
Integration & Management
Owl Eyes integrates with your existing identity infrastructure. Sync with your directory, connect to your SSO, and manage everything from one dashboard.
Directory Sync
SCIM provisioning automatically creates and removes employee records when people join or leave.
SSO Integration
Connect with Okta, Azure AD, Ping Identity, and other identity providers via SAML or OIDC.
PACS Integration
Connect to existing physical access control systems via OSDP or Wiegand protocols.
Webhooks & API
Real-time event notifications and full REST API for custom integrations.
Handling Lifecycle Events
Employees change over time. Owl Eyes handles the full lifecycle.
Appearance Changes
Grew a beard? Got new glasses? Templates adapt to gradual changes. Major changes trigger guided re-enrollment.
Device Changes
New phone or workstation? No problem. Biometrics aren't tied to devices.
Role Changes
Access levels update automatically via directory sync. New permissions, same enrollment.
Offboarding
When someone leaves, SCIM sync revokes access instantly. Templates are retained per your retention policy.
