BAS-IP Obelisk Awarded as Best of the Best Design Concept 2021 by Red Dot

The Red Dot Award is an international competition for communication, product, and concept design solutions. It is a globally recognized quality mark in the world of design innovations. Winning the Red Dot award is a testament to design and innovation leadership that reflects the organization’s innovation capabilities in sustainable design.

Best Design Concept 2021 by Red Dot

Obelisk – a device for safe access to residential compounds, centers, and closed areas. Obelisk is made as a monolithic composition, which looks like a pedestal, and has an integrated external intercom system powered by artificial intelligence. The perfect combination of technology and unusual look helped Obelisk win the Red Dot “Design Concept 2021”.

Obelisk is made of metal, and other materials can be used for decoration, such as wood, granite, or even grass. Using various finishing materials can make it almost invisible or, vice versa, make it stand out in modern rooms or offices.

This device remembers all residents and regular visitors. Using deep learning technology, Obelisk recognizes a person’s face in a matter of seconds and provides verified users with access to the territory or premises. It has a built-in voice control system for a more convenient and secure interaction, a contactless button for communication with a concierge, and many other features.

Obelisk is an indispensable tool for residents, office workers, property owners, and security companies. This device is not limited to providing access to premises for property owners or protecting them from uninvited guests. It also ensures a comfortable authentication process.

Authentication can be done helped by a code, an access card, face recognition, a smartphone app, Bluetooth, a QR code, or a one-time URL. For enhanced security, Obelisk uses flexible multi-factor authentication. For example, when installed in an enterprise, the device can control access by matching the card with the visitor’s face. In residential compounds, you can leave a temporary access code to a courier and check it later with their identification document (ID).

The Red Dot Best of the Best award is awarded only to the most innovative solutions in the field of key changes in the product.

We are proud of our award!
