One system for every hospital entrance
Vira helps hospitals know who is coming through their doors: visitors, vendors, contractors, people the hospital has barred, and people who turn up on the state registry. Vendors and contractors check in the same way as visitors. Your security team is alerted the moment there’s a possible match, and you decide what to do.

1Main entrance
The cameras already at your entrances recognise people on the hospital's own watchlist, such as someone under a trespass order or a former employee who is barred. A possible match goes to staff to review.
How watchlist recognition works2Lobby kiosk
The visitor scans the barcode on the back of their driver's license. A photo is taken and a badge prints. Name and date of birth are checked against official state sex-offender registry data, never by searching faces. A possible match goes to staff to review.
How check-in works3Security desk
Every possible match, from the registry or from a camera, lands here for staff to review. Vira never turns anyone away on its own.
For security teams4Loading dock
Vendors and contractors check in the same way as visitors: license scan, photo, badge. Everyone who checks in appears on the same list of who is in the building.
How check-in works5Emergency entrance
The cameras here, and at every other entrance, are watched for people on your watchlist. Your staff are alerted and decide what to do. The live picture is looked at and let go, so nothing is recorded.

Vira works with most modern security cameras, directly or through the video recorder they already connect to, often kept in a room like this. Vira does the work outside your hospital, and nothing is recorded.

What Vira does
At the kiosk
Visitors scan the barcode on the back of their driver’s license at an iPad kiosk. A photo is taken and a badge prints. Vendors and contractors check in the same way.
From the ID
Name and date of birth from the license are checked against official state sex-offender registry data, added state by state from each state’s official list. It never searches the registry by face.
At the entrances
Existing cameras recognise people on the hospital’s own watchlist, such as people under a trespass order or former employees who are barred.
You stay in control
Your staff are alerted the moment there’s a possible match, from the registry or from a camera. Vira never turns anyone away on its own. You decide what to do, and every decision is kept on record.

Privacy
Privacy officers ask hard questions. Vira is designed so the answers are short, and we work through your hospital’s privacy and security review with you.
What Vira keeps from a check-in
For each person on your hospital’s watchlist
Your cameras
Vira works with most modern security cameras, either directly or through the video recorder they already connect to. An entrance camera may need to be pointed a little differently so it sees faces, not the tops of heads.
There is no equipment to install for the cameras. Vira does the work outside your hospital: the video is sent over an encrypted connection, checked, then thrown away. It is never saved.
Day to day
We’ll walk you through check-in, the registry check and match review, using made-up example data, and answer your security, IT and privacy questions.
