If the system is running in a verification mode (1:1) as it should for access control applications, then the number of faces in the database will have no bearing on matching accuracy and false alarm rates.

I may have expressed myself poorly. While running in verification mode the number of users enrolled in the database will have no bearing on 1:1 verification matching performance, because the user presumably asserts his/her identity and the live image(s) is compared to the database image(s) corresponding to that user only. The number of images captured during runtime and enrollment for each user will likely have a bearing on matching accuracy. However, the technical matching performance for each user may either improve or degrade with the nature and number of images used depending on how the system makes use of them.

Shouldn't the door controller be on the secure side of the door?

What if I take a full sized picture of an authorized person and hold it up in front of my face? At least it would be cleaner than chopping their head off!
