Age Recognition
A real-time prompt when someone near the threshold walks in — so the ID check never gets skipped.
One underage sale can cost the license the whole business runs on. Age Filter gives your staff a real- time signal when someone near the threshold walks in — before the transaction, not after the citation.
Age Filter assists operators of age-restricted spaces by providing real-time visual assessments against age thresholds you configure. When a person's apparent age falls on the wrong side of the threshold — or close enough to warrant a check — the system flags it, prompting staff to verify ID before a sale or entry proceeds. The assessment supports the operator's judgment; it is a safety net under your ID-check policy, not a replacement for formal verification.
Critically for regulated environments: the system does not identify individuals and retains no personal information. It returns only an assessment relative to the configured threshold, which allows deployment where identity-based verification would not be acceptable. Both the threshold and the action taken on an assessment are configurable per site. Age Filter is available through Clear Watch's Early Access program for forward-leaning sites.
What It Does
Who Uses It
Compliance Stings Are Routine. A Failed One Can Mean Fines or a Suspended License.
A real-time flag at the door means the ID check happens every time it should — including when the counter is slammed and a judgment call gets skipped. Age Filter standardizes the prompt so the busiest moments don't become the most exposed ones.
- Real-time alert at point of entry when a likely minor is detected
- ID check prompt fires even during high-traffic rushes
- Reduces compliance exposure from inconsistent carding
Regulators Hold Dispensaries to Zero Tolerance. The Door Check Needs Backup.
An age assessment at the entrance backs up the door check without collecting or storing identity information — a no-identification design that fits the privacy expectations of the industry while giving staff a consistent prompt before anyone reaches the counter.
- Age assessment at entry to back up the door check
- No identity matching or storage — privacy-compatible by design
- Supports zero-tolerance compliance without additional staffing
An Underage Person Reaching the Floor Is a Reportable Violation — Even If They Never Place a Bet.
Age Filter flags likely minors at entry points so security intercepts before they're on the floor. The violation is defined by presence, not activity — and the alert fires at the point where intervention is still possible and the incident is still preventable.
- Flags likely minors at entry points before they reach the gaming floor
- Alert fires while interception is still possible
- Supports compliance with zero-tolerance floor-access rules
A Single Clerk on a Busy Friday Makes Judgment Calls All Night. Age Filter Standardizes the Decision.
A threshold-based prompt tells the clerk when to card — taking the guesswork and the awkwardness out of the call. Carding is consistent regardless of how busy it gets, which shift it is, or how confident the clerk feels about a particular customer's age.
- Threshold-based carding prompt removes judgment-call variability
- Consistent across all shifts and traffic levels
- Reduces liability from missed ID checks during busy periods
Peak-Entry Crush Is Exactly When the Pressure to Keep the Line Moving Lets Marginal IDs Slip Through.
Age Filter supports door staff during the moments when speed competes with scrutiny — flagging likely minors in the queue so attention goes where it's needed, and the decision to look harder at an ID isn't left entirely to how fast the line is moving.
- Flags likely minors in the entry queue during peak-crush periods
- Directs door staff attention without slowing the line for everyone
- Reduces slip-through risk when entry pressure is highest
How It Works
Age Filter runs in real time on your Clear Watch entrance cameras. When an assessment trips the threshold, staff on site get the prompt to check ID before the sale or entry proceeds — the intervention that actually protects the license. The same cameras serve Clear Watch's 24/7 live security monitoring after hours, so one platform covers compliance during business hours and protection after close.
FAQs
-
No. Age Filter does not identify individuals and retains no personal information. It returns only an assessment relative to your configured threshold — which is what makes it deployable where identity-based verification would not be acceptable.
-
No, and it shouldn't. Age Filter supports your staff's judgment by flagging when a check is warranted; formal identity verification remains the compliance step. Think of it as making sure the ID check never gets skipped, not replacing it.
-
Yes. The age threshold and the action taken on an assessment are both configurable, so an 18+ vape shop, a 21+ dispensary, and a casino floor each run the rule their regulator expects.
