Sniper Action Photo Launches Instant Facial Recognition Across Multiple Global Attractions

Sniper Action Photo is proud to announce the launch of our next-generation Guest Media Fulfillment Platform, now featuring instant Facial Recognition: the fastest and most seamless way for guests to find every photo taken during their visit.

This upgrade eliminates the need for QR-codes, wristbands, RFID tags, or manual lookup methods. With a single facial scan, guests instantly access their complete gallery whether captured by automated cameras, roving photographers, or multi-experience photo stations. The system works across varied lighting, angles, expressions, sunglasses, helmets, and high-speed action.

As always, Sniper Action Photo continues to deliver world-class automated photography and video solutions built for high-volume attractions. Facial recognition now raises the bar even higher.

Launch Partners

Below are the first attractions now operating on our new facial recognition platform:

Mystic Mountain, Ocho Rios, Jamaica


Mystic Mountain guests participate in several high-adrenaline activities including the world-famous Bobsled, the Sky Explorer chairlift, Ragamuffin roller coaster, and zipline adventures.

With facial recognition powered by Sniper Action Photo, guests simply scan their face and instantly retrieve every photo from every activity. Located steps from the busy Ocho Rios cruise ship port, the system handles extremely high daily volumes with ease.

Mystic Mountain

Buena Vista del Rincón , Guanacaste, Costa Rica


At Buena Vista, guests experience a wide range of activities: ziplines, horseback riding, waterslides, and more. Sniper Action Photo supports both automated camera systems and roving photographers, with all photos uploaded instantly to each guest’s personal gallery.

It’s not unusual for some guests to walk away with 40–50 fully organized photos, all found instantly through facial recognition.

Buena Vista Del Rincon

Moody Gardens: ICE LAND , Galveston, Texas


At the massively popular ICE LAND attraction, a souvenir photo is captured at the entrance and guests then continue through the massive ice-carving attraction.

At the end of the experience, they scan their face at a kiosk to instantly load their photos and choose from a variety of on-site print sizes or a digital copy. Guests who skip the kiosk can still retrieve their photos online afterward using the same facial recognition system. With thousands of visitors per day, instant matching keeps kiosk lines short and throughput high.

Custom Solutions & Events

Every attraction is unique, and many experiences need more than a standard photo setup. Our team works with operators to design custom photo and video solutions for seasonal events, special installations, resort activities, and one-of-a-kind guest experiences.

From holiday and themed photo booths to scenic lookout stations, group photo moments, VIP activations, and branded selfie setups, we tailor systems that fit your space, your workflow, and your creative vision. Automated cameras, roving capture, and kiosk fulfillment can all be combined in flexible ways to support everything from high-volume events to boutique resort experiences.

Kiosks & Fulfillment

Our touchscreen kiosks work seamlessly with our Guest Media Fulfillment Platform to deliver a fast, intuitive, and completely self-serve experience for guests. With a single facial recognition scan, each guest’s full gallery loads instantly — even when photos come from multiple automated cameras or roving photographers.

The kiosk interface is optimized for high-traffic attractions, with smooth navigation, responsive touch controls, and streamlined purchase flows that keep lines moving and maximize sales. Guests can browse, preview, purchase, and download their media immediately, without staff assistance.

Behind the scenes, the Guest Media Fulfillment Platform handles all organization, matching, video processing, branding, and delivery automatically. Purchased media is available at the kiosk, emailed instantly, and stored securely for online access — ensuring a unified experience across all touchpoints.

Roving, Portrait & Green Screen

Our system supports roving photographers, portrait stations, green screen setups, and other manually triggered photo experiences — all fully connected to our Guest Media Fulfillment Platform. Staff can capture photos anywhere on your property using mobile devices or DSLR cameras, and every image uploads instantly into the system.

Using facial recognition, each photo is automatically matched to the correct guest, even when multiple photos come from different stations or roving photographers. This removes the need for codes, manual sorting, or time-consuming uploads at the end of the day.

Portrait and green screen stations can include branded backgrounds, themed overlays, and optional automatic background removal for clean, high-impact images. Seasonal events, scenic lookouts, VIP moments, and custom branded setups all integrate seamlessly.

Facial Recognition

Our facial recognition system gives guests instant access to their photos without codes, cards, or typing. With a single scan at any kiosk, the system automatically identifies the guest and loads their complete gallery within seconds.

Designed specifically for adventure attractions, our face rec handles real-world conditions effortlessly — helmets, sunglasses, variable lighting, motion, groups, kids, you name it.
Intelligent filtering ensures accurate results even when guests are captured from different angles or across multiple cameras.

All matching happens inside our Guest Media Fulfillment Platform, where photos from automated cameras, roving photographers, and guided tours all merge into a single unified gallery — instantly organized and ready for purchase.

Video Systems

Our video systems are purpose-built for fast-moving attractions, delivering smooth, high-quality HD footage that captures the excitement and energy of every ride. Whether it’s a coaster, zipline, chairlift, or surf pool, each setup is designed to perform reliably in demanding outdoor environments.

Every camera is calibrated for stable exposure, sharp motion rendering, and consistent color, even as lighting and weather change throughout the day. The result is polished, professional-grade footage that guests love to purchase and share.

Our platform can automatically capture multiple clips, stitch them together, and optionally add branded intro/outro segments or stock footage. It also tracks individual guests within each clip - automatically panning and zooming to keep each person centered, even when multiple guests appear together. The finished video is fully rendered and packaged without any staff involvement, creating a ready-to-share product every time.

Reporting & Analytics

Our global reporting and analytics system gives operators real-time visibility into every aspect of their photo and video operations. From sales performance to camera uptime, capture rates, traffic trends, and guest engagement, all data is available instantly through a clean, intuitive dashboard.

Designed for multi-attraction and multi-location operators, the platform consolidates data across all sites into one unified view. You can monitor daily performance, compare locations, track seasonal patterns, and identify revenue opportunities — all without waiting for manual reports.

Advanced query tools allow operators to drill into specific details: which products are selling, how many guests are being captured, kiosk performance, peak hours, guide activity on roving systems, and more. Every metric is updated live and accessible from anywhere.

Automated Cameras

Our automated camera systems deliver unmatched photo quality for high-volume attractions like theme parks, mountain coasters, ziplines, chairlifts, and adventure parks. Every shot is perfectly framed, sharply focused, and correctly exposed, even in difficult lighting conditions.

A key advantage of our system is our Next-Gen TTL flash technology, designed specifically for automated outdoor photography. It precisely measures each scene and adjusts output in real time, ensuring every guest is lit perfectly whether it’s bright sunshine, deep shade, sunset, or complete darkness. This is one of the core reasons our photos consistently outperform all competitors.

Combined with our proprietary triggering and exposure controls, the result is reliable, high-quality images for every guest, every time.

Photos are uploaded instantly into our Guest Media Fulfillment Platform, matched using facial recognition, and available immediately on kiosks and online. Operators get a fully hands-free system that increases capture rates, boosts revenue, and performs flawlessly in any environment.
