The ROC Access Face1 multimodal reader has been named “Best in Biometrics” at the 2026 Security Industry Association New Products and Solutions (SIA NPS) Awards at ISC West. ROC Access Face1 is a transparent-mode biometric reader designed for both high-throughput and high-security applications. Built for more than credentials, it transforms the access point from a passive checkpoint into a proactive intelligence layer.

Move Beyond Credentials to Real-Time Intelligence

The SIA NPS Awards are widely regarded as the security industry’s premier and most prestigious awards program, recognizing the most impactful innovations shaping the future of physical security. SIA’s recognition of ROC Access Face1 as “Best in Biometrics” underscores ROC’s ability to bring together biometric identity verification, video analytics, and intelligent access into a single operational system at the point of entry.

ROC Access Face1 is an ultra-compact transparent-mode biometric reader designed for both high-throughput and high-security applications. it boasts the industry’s first forged carbon fiber construction with a field upgradable sensor and combines proactive intelligence features with high-assurance biometric access.

“An access control reader should provide value 24/7, not just for the brief moments when users request access. Integrated weapon detection, watchlisting and a host of configurable analytic features set a new standard for the biometric terminals market. We’re honored to receive this prestigious award from SIA, which in combination with feedback received from our own customers, confirms the market readiness and need for this innovative solution.”
