What is a Mantrap?

A mantrap, also known as a security vestibule, is a secured space equipped with two or more interlocking doors and a single person detection system to insure that only one person can pass through into a high security area such as a data center or research lab.

When a mantrap is equipped with the patented, T-DAR stereo vision system, the cutting-edge technology provides you with the highest-level of anti-tailgating and anti-piggybacking safety and security.

The T-DAR® Anti-Tailgating Anti-Piggybacking Barrier for Mantraps

There is only one stand-alone technology that reliably provides piggybacking and tailgating prevention while permitting the passage of carts, luggage and parcels - the patented, stereo vision T-DAR® system in a mantrap configuration.The T-DAR security solution for mantraps is totally effective, compared to competitive technologies currently available, such as video analytics, break-beam systems or pressure mats.

T-DAR stereo vision technology interlocks two or more access-controlled doors allowing for only one door to be opened at a time and controls tailgating and piggybacking by scanning and ensuring that only one person is in the area before locking the first door then releasing the second door into the secure area.

T-DAR mantraps may be as small as five feet by five feet or, as an example, at an international airport terminal the mantrap into a secure baggage area requiring high-volume traffic is nine feet wide by 36 feet long and houses 16 T-DAR stereo camera heads.
