You can wave any object at the sensor. Maybe an unauthorized tag will yield a different beep or make the light flash a different color. Maybe the person in front of you will be in a position to see the light on the reader, maybe they'll notice, and maybe they'll consider it odd. Getting that far, and then actually deciding to challenge you or report it, is a vanishingly small chance.
There is no point in badging an unlocked door, or in expecting people to do so. You have to actually close it between entries. This is a physically and socially ridiculous thing to do with traditional doors; if it's what you want, you need a turnstile.
- esotericn 7y agoAgree. The whole idea of 'challenging tailgating' falls apart because someone walking in after you is not performing a strange act. You would have to actively close the door _on_ people, including your colleagues, which goes against social norms to such an extreme extent that it's just not happening.
- tim333 7y agoWith my apartment block people sometimes follow in and I'll ask can I help you or similar if they look iffy.
- Ntrails 7y agoIf, as a company, you actually care about tailgating, there is no "challenge" aspect. There's a barrier that lets one person through at a time at most, and you remove any and all social aspects to it.
- esotericn 7y agoExactly!
- mdhen 7y agoRight, which is why you need a more secure system of entry. I've worked in finance and defense. Finance used turnstiles, defense used some light in person security.
- GFischer 7y agoThat´s exactly what I have at work, and it does deter tailgating. Some people do ask for the owner of a badge to do a second pass but security always appears at that point.
