DSI Security Selects Intellicheck to Enhance Festival Experience, Prevent Underage Drinking

  • May 24, 2023

DSI Security has chosen Intellicheck’s state-of-the-art technology solution to prevent underage drinking at the Gulf Coast Jam Festival. DSI Security officers safeguarding alcoholic beverage sales at the event will be equipped with Intellicheck’s mobile app to validate IDs to prevent the sale of alcoholic beverages to minors.

DSI Security’s Boyd Clark, Manager of Safety and Security for the popular music festival, said Intellicheck’s technology is more than a choice, it is a must have. “As industry leaders, we are committed to an unsurpassed level of safety and security for every event, and we are always mindful of the impact on the communities that host them. It requires that we constantly assess and respond to relevant trends to ensure we are prepared for any challenge. Increasingly, fake IDs have become so sophisticated it is impossible to spot them using the traditional visual methods we have relied upon in the past. We recognized that we needed proven technology that would spot these fakes and at the same time quickly and easily used by our officers. That is why we turned to Intellicheck.”

Gulf Coast Jam takes place in Panama City Beach, FL, from June 1-4. Listed by Billboard as one of “The 10 Best Country Music Festivals,” the Gulf Coast Jam Presented by Jim Beam is the largest music event in the southeast. Headliners include Kenny Chesney, HARDY, Miranda Lambert, and Kane Brown along with some 30 more artists playing during the festival.

Intellicheck CEO Bryan Lewis said the partnership delivers the best of both worlds. “We understand the challenges that come with the advances in technology that are leveraged to create high-tech fake IDs that are readily and inexpensively available to young people. We work with law enforcement agencies across the country addressing these very challenges every day. Using Intellicheck’s innovative technology, DSI officers can accurately and rapidly validate the IDs of age-appropriate customers purchasing alcoholic beverages assuring quick service and avoiding long lines and delays while deterring the potential dangers that come with underage drinking.”

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
