one API, a lot of doors it opens
Where teams put SightRadar to work.
The same four operations — index, search, compare, detect — power a surprising range of products. Here are the ones teams build most, all on a high-accuracy, Rekognition-compatible API.
Event & wedding photo-tagging
Let guests find every photo they appear in from a single selfie. Index thousands of event shots, then search by face — the headline use case for photographers and event platforms.
Index · SearchKYC & identity verification
Match a selfie against an ID document photo during onboarding. Calibrated 1:1 similarity scores you can threshold, dropped into your signup flow in an afternoon.
Compare · DetectSecurity & access control
Grant entry by recognizing enrolled employees or residents. Pair detect + search to confirm a face belongs to your authorized collection before unlocking a door or turnstile.
Index · SearchTouchless attendance
Mark check-in and check-out with a face instead of a card or PIN. Accurate, fast, and contactless for offices, campuses, factories, and events.
SearchMarketplace & dating trust
Verify that a profile photo is a real, single, live-looking face — and that the same person isn't running duplicate accounts. Quality-gate uploads before they go live.
Detect · CompareFinancial services
Add a face-verification step to high-value transactions or account recovery. An extra factor that's hard to phish, backed by scores you control.
CompareEducation & campus
Identify students and staff for attendance and access to labs, libraries, and exam halls — with per-tenant isolation so one institution's data is never searchable by another.
Index · SearchHospitality & contactless check-in
Recognize returning guests for faster, contactless check-in and personalized service, without storing card data or building your own recognition stack.
SearchPhoto & content tagging
Auto-suggest who's in a photo across your library or social product. Group faces, dedupe people, and let users tag once and never again.
Index · SearchRetail & loyalty
With opt-in consent, recognize enrolled loyalty members for a personalized in-store or kiosk experience — recommendations, fast checkout, and tailored offers.
SearchMember & visitor management
Recognize returning members at gyms, clubs, and co-working spaces, or pre-enrolled visitors at a front desk — faster entry without badges or sign-in sheets.
Index · SearchAccount recovery & anti-fraud
Add a face check to password resets and high-risk actions, and flag when one person is quietly running many accounts. A strong signal that's hard to fake.
Compare · SearchBuilt for consented, lawful use.
Face data is sensitive. SightRadar is for use cases where you have a lawful basis and, where required, consent to process the people involved. We don't support unlawful surveillance or covert tracking — see our Terms and Privacy Policy.
