Unattended 24 Hour Gym Entrance Swing Gate Turnstile With QR Code Biometric Access Control

Product Description

This intelligent swing gate turnstile is purpose built for unattended 24 hour gyms , smart fitness studios , self service training rooms , and apartment fitness corners where no reception staff is on duty at night . Members scan a QR code or pass facial recognition at the gate ; the controller validates the membership in real time and releases the swing arm in 0.5 seconds , then logs the entry record automatically to the cloud . Access rights can be issued , frozen , renewed or revoked remotely , so a membership sold online becomes usable at the door within seconds without any manual card writing . The gate accepts per visit cards ( deduct per use ) , period passes ( unlimited entries within validity ) , stored value cards ( charge by entry duration ) and temporary visitor tickets for single passage , which lets one device serve both monthly members and drop in guests . To protect membership revenue , entry uses dual verification of “ facial recognition plus membership card ” , comparing the live face with the archived member photo ; if verification fails , passage is refused , which stops card lending , second hand resale and one card shared by several people . Four pairs of infrared sensors provide anti tailgating detection , and the anti pinch mechanism rebounds automatically when the swing arm meets resistance , with an impact force not exceeding 2 kg . The lane is built on a 304 stainless steel frame with an acrylic swing arm , rated for more than 5 million opening cycles , IP43 or IP54 protection , and stable operation from -30 C to 70 C , so it works in air conditioned studios and in outdoor entrance areas . When power fails or a fire alarm signal is received , the arms unlock automatically to keep the escape route clear .

Features and Advantages

1 . Fully unattended operation around the clock

The gate runs without any staff at the entrance . Membership rights are issued , renewed , frozen and revoked remotely , entries are logged in real time , and abnormal attempts are pushed to the operator as alerts , which makes 24 hour and late night gym models viable with a very small operations team .

2 . QR code and facial recognition entry with real time validation

A member presents a QR code from the gym app or simply looks at the terminal . The controller checks the account status in real time and the swing arm opens in 0.5 seconds , so expired , frozen or unpaid memberships are stopped at the door instead of being discovered later .

3 . Four membership modes on one device

Per visit cards ( deduct per use ) , period passes ( unlimited entries within validity ) , stored value cards ( charge by entry duration ) and single passage visitor tickets are all supported . One lane serves monthly members , class only visitors and day pass guests , reducing the number of devices a studio has to buy .

4 . Dual verification against card lending and revenue loss

Entry requires facial recognition plus the membership card , and the live face is compared with the archived member photo . If identification fails the gate stays closed , which removes card lending , second hand resale and one card shared by several people , the most common sources of lost membership income in unattended gyms .

5 . Anti tailgating and anti pinch safety

Four pairs of infrared sensors monitor the whole passage and detect unauthorised following . If the swing arm meets resistance during reset it rebounds immediately with a force not exceeding 2 kg , protecting members , children and members carrying training bags .

6 . Fail safe design and wide compatibility

The arms release automatically on power failure or on a fire alarm signal , keeping the evacuation route open . The controller accepts relay , 12V level and 12V pulse signals plus RS485 or TCP IP communication , and works with IC , ID , barcode , fingerprint , face , iris , NFC , password and remote opening , so it can be connected to an existing gym management platform .

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can the turnstile really work with nobody at the gym entrance?

Yes. Membership rights are created and changed in the backend or through the gym app, and the gate validates every entry by itself. Entry records, rejected attempts and device status are uploaded in real time, so the operator can supervise several unattended studios from one dashboard.

2. How does the gate know whether a membership is still valid?

The controller checks the account in real time when the QR code or face is presented. Expired, frozen or unpaid accounts are refused at the door, and the attempt is logged with time and snapshot for follow up.

3. What happens if one member tries to bring another person in?

Four pairs of infrared sensors cover the whole channel. When a second person follows without a valid credential, the gate alarms and refuses passage, and the event is recorded for the operator.

4. What happens during a power failure or a fire alarm?

The swing arms unlock automatically and stay open, so the lane can be used as an escape route. Normal operation resumes automatically when power returns.

5. Can it be connected to our existing gym management software?

Yes. The controller provides relay switch, 12V level and 12V pulse interfaces with pulse width above 100ms, and supports RS485 or TCP IP communication, so it can be integrated with most gym member systems and third party access platforms.
