identifyed.ca is a biometric access control and identity verification platform built by NewStack, positioned on the site as “Made in Canada.” It is not just a standalone facial recognition module; instead, it combines facial recognition, liveness detection, PDF417 driver’s license reading, NFC passport reading, MRZ, license plate OCR, and ISO 6346 container number recognition into a central console. It targets high-frequency identity verification scenarios such as buildings, port logistics, and financial/notary service counters.
In terms of coverage, it supports continuous verification across “person–document–vehicle–container” workflows: entrances can use 1:N facial recognition for access, counters can perform 1:1 matching between a face and an ID photo, and logistics sites can bind drivers, license plates, and containers together. Deployment is flexible, with explicit support for on-prem or cloud setups. The cloud option emphasizes Canadian data residency, while the system can also be hosted on customer-owned premises. Hardware integration is a major selling point: it claims to work with existing IP cameras, standard cameras, door locks, turnstiles, barriers, intercoms, and elevators, and supports Wiegand, OSDP, relay, REST API, and RTSP.
On compliance, the site says it aligns with PIPEDA as well as provincial privacy frameworks such as PIPA AB/BC and Quebec Law 25. Facial templates are stored as one-way embeddings, with tools for encryption, consent-based collection, audit trails, and deletion rights. However, we did not see information about third-party certifications such as ISO 27001 or SOC 2. Management features include a real-time central console, filtering by site/person/license plate, playback, exportable evidence windows, as well as allowlists, blocklists, watchlists, and alert/access-control triggers.
Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The site only states “One price,” covering facial recognition, ALPR, PDF417, NFC, and the console, without per-camera metering or stacked feature licenses. Its strengths are comprehensive multimodal recognition, reuse of existing hardware, on-prem deployment options, strong audit capabilities, and a 24/7 incident support hotline. The drawbacks are that actual pricing, implementation costs, SLA terms, and the contracting entity need further confirmation. In addition, support for Canadian identity documents is described in the most detail, while support for Chinese documents and license plates is not specified.
It is better suited to Canadian residential properties, office buildings, ports, warehouses, transport terminals, financial advisors, notary offices, and other organizations that require robust identity verification. Access and payment availability for users in China are unknown. Before procurement, buyers should verify network availability, cross-border data requirements, algorithm compliance, and local biometric regulations. If the main deployment is in China, it may also be worth evaluating local access control and recognition solutions from Hikvision, Dahua, Megvii, SenseTime, ZKTeco, and others.
