Platform Overview

Why Your Venue Needs IDEnforcer

Every night, venues unknowingly admit underage patrons, previously-banned troublemakers, and individuals with prior incident histories — because traditional ID checks rely on a glance under bad lighting. One mistake can cost you your liquor license, a lawsuit, or worse.

IDEnforcer is a complete venue security and intelligence platform that scans IDs in seconds, flags banned or watch-listed individuals instantly, captures visitor photos, and stores everything securely in the cloud — giving you total control over who walks through your door.

IDEnforcer Full System

Bridge + Cloud + Pro Scanners

The complete professional-grade solution. Combines the Bridge desktop app, enterprise flatbed scanners (Thales + E-Seek M500), Eyoyo handheld scanner, webcam capture, and the full cloud platform. Built for high-volume venues that need speed, accuracy, and ironclad security.

IDEnforcer Lite

Cloud + Handheld Scanner / Phone Scanning

The smart, affordable entry point. Use your existing smartphone or an Eyoyo handheld scanner (USB wired, USB wireless dongle, or Bluetooth) with any computer — no dedicated hardware required. Access the full cloud dashboard, watch/ban lists, gallery, analytics, and network sharing. Perfect for smaller venues or those just getting started.

Hardware

Three Simultaneous Scanner Modes

All three scanner methods run at the same time, independently. Enable or disable any from the settings menu. If one has an issue, the others keep working — no single point of failure.

🖥 Thales Flatbed Scanner

Professional document scanner with full front and back color imaging. Reads MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) from passports and foreign IDs. Automatic "flip notice" dialog guides staff through two-sided scans. Auto-watchdog restarts the SDK if it freezes — zero downtime guaranteed.

Passports & MRZ Auto-Recovery

🔬 E-Seek M500 Flatbed Scanner

Multi-sensor platform capturing RGB color, infrared (IR), and UV images of every document. Reads PDF417 barcodes, Code 128, and magnetic stripes. UV and IR imaging helps detect altered or counterfeit IDs. Built-in LED/beep feedback and automatic card ejection.

UV / IR Imaging Counterfeit Detection

📡 Eyoyo Handheld Scanner

Versatile handheld barcode scanner that connects three ways: USB wired, USB wireless dongle, or Bluetooth — so staff can roam freely without being tethered to a tablet or screen. No dedicated driver needed. A keyboard-wedge listener captures output invisibly in the background. Full-screen overlay prevents accidental input. Ideal for roaming door staff or multiple entry points.

USB Wired USB Wireless Dongle Bluetooth No Driver Required
Document Support

Supported ID Types — Read It All

IDEnforcer recognizes and extracts data from virtually every identity document your guests may carry.

🪪 US Driver's Licenses & State IDs

Full AAMVA PDF417 barcode decode. Extracts 30+ fields: name, DOB, ID number, height, eye color, gender, expiration date, and issuing state. Supports all 50 states.

📄 Temporary Driver's Licenses

Identified and handled as a separate document type. The visual OCR pipeline activates for paper temporaries that may lack a full machine-readable barcode.

🎖 US Military IDs (CAC Cards)

Custom parser for Department of Defense Common Access Cards. Extracts rank, branch, and personal identity fields directly from the CAC barcode format.

🛂 Passports & Travel Documents

MRZ parsing via the Thales scanner SDK. Supports ICAO TD3 (standard passports) and TD1 (ID-card format) from any country in the world.

🌎 Foreign & International IDs

MRZ-based extraction handles Mexican, Honduran, Guatemalan, and other national IDs. Mexican BOF format has its own dedicated parser for full field extraction.

🔍 Unknown / Unrecognized IDs

If no barcode or MRZ is present, the advanced 10-step visual OCR pipeline activates automatically — extracting as much information as possible from the card image.

Technology

Advanced OCR Engine — 4-Layer Reading Technology

IDEnforcer doesn't just read barcodes — it uses a layered intelligence pipeline to extract identity data from virtually any ID document, even damaged or unusual ones.

Layer 1

Hardware Barcode Decode

Native barcode decoding via the M500 hardware chip and Thales SDK — the fastest, most reliable method. Software PDF417 decode (ZXing) activates as a fallback if the hardware read fails.

Layer 2

AAMVA Field-Code Parser

Parses the decoded barcode against the AAMVA standard. Extracts 30+ fields including all name components, DOB, ID number, physical descriptors, and expiration date. Also handles Military CAC and Mexican BOF field formats.

Layer 3

MRZ / Passport Parser

Decodes ICAO Machine Readable Zones from passports and international ID cards. Handles both 2-line (TD3) and 3-line (TD1) formats. Verifies check digits for data integrity. Automatically waits for the document face image before completing the scan record.

Layer 4

10-Step Visual OCR Pipeline

For IDs with no barcode or MRZ: (1) card detection + perspective correction, (2) orientation normalization across all 8 rotations, (3) front/back classification, (4) dynamic region-of-interest discovery, (5) Tesseract 5.2 + PaddleOCR PP-OCRv4 dual-engine text recognition with character whitelists, (6) garbage/security-text filtering, (7) intelligent field extraction, (8) date normalization to ISO format, (9) per-field confidence scoring, (10) AI face crop from ID portrait photo.

Fields extracted per scan: First name, last name, middle name, date of birth, expiration date, ID number, state, gender, height, eye color, hair color, document type, issuing jurisdiction, and a per-field confidence score (0–100).
Access Control

Watch List & Ban List

The moment a scan completes, IDEnforcer checks the visitor against both your Watch List and Ban List automatically — before the result even appears on screen. No clicks required.

  • Instant Cross-Reference — checks ID number first, then name+DOB, then name alone. The same person can't slip through with a different ID.
  • Visual Alerts — banned visitors trigger a full-width flashing red BANNED banner. Watch-listed visitors show an amber WATCH banner. Impossible to miss.
  • Smart Date Matching — handles all DOB format variations (YYYYMMDD, MM/DD/YYYY, etc.) automatically.
  • Per-Entry Retention — set each entry to expire after N days or mark as permanent. Temporary bans auto-delete.
  • One-Tap Add From Any Scan — tap Ban or Watch on any scan result; name and DOB are pre-filled. No typing.
  • Custom Reason & Notes — each entry stores the reason, staff member, date, and source venue. Full accountability trail.
  • Cloud-Backed & Synced — all list entries sync to the cloud every 60 seconds. Manage from any device. If internet goes down, the system keeps running locally without interruption and automatically syncs all offline data once connectivity is restored.
  • Network Sharing — share ban/watch list entries with connected partner venues. A person banned at one location is flagged at all connected venues.
  • Quiet Overrides — want to allow someone that a partner venue banned? Add a quiet override — allowed at your venue, network ban stays intact elsewhere.
  • Source Tracking — every network-shared entry shows the name of the venue that added it.

One banned patron.  Zero venues he can get into tonight.

Multi-Venue Intelligence

Multi-Venue Network Sharing

Connect your venues and share security intelligence in real time. If a troublemaker gets banned at a partner bar across town, they're blocked at your door the next night — automatically.

Run 10 venues. Ban someone at 1. All 10 are instantly protected.

📡
Offline-Resilient Operation

Internet outages won't shut you down. IDEnforcer keeps scanning, checking ban lists, and logging scans locally even when offline. All offline data — scans, photos, audit events — automatically syncs and uploads to the cloud the moment your connection is restored. Up to 7 days of offline operation before re-validation is required.

🔒
