A system comprising a transceiver; at least one memory that stores computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor operationally coupled to the transceiver and the at least one memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to access the at least one memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to: receive a radio frequency,RF, fingerprint of an RF signal detected by the transceiver within an area under surveillance,AUS, the RF fingerprint comprising at least one of: i) a hardware address of an electronic device that emitted the RF signal or ii) a radio type identifier of a radio of the electronic device, wherein the AUS is a physical area defined by one or more boundaries; determine a stored persona that includes a stored RF fingerprint that matches the received RF fingerprint; determine that the electronic device that emitted the RF signal is associated with the stored persona; determine, based at least in part on the determination that the electronic device is associated with the stored persona, that a user associated with the stored persona is authorized to be present in the AUS, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to: receive, from an access control system, access control information including access credentials received at an access control device associated with an ingress point of the AUS, while the RF signal is being detected within the AUS, and wherein the one or more ingress points are points on the one or more boundaries of the AUS; and determine that the stored persona includes stored access credentials that match the received access credentials, wherein the determination that the user associated with the stored persona is authorized to be present in the AUS is further based at least in part on the determination that the stored persona includes access credentials that match the received access credentials, while the RF signal is being detected within the AUS. receive a radio frequency,RF, fingerprint of an RF signal detected by the transceiver within an area under surveillance,AUS, the RF fingerprint comprising at least one of: i) a hardware address of an electronic device that emitted the RF signal or ii) a radio type identifier of a radio of the electronic device, wherein the AUS is a physical area defined by one or more boundaries; determine a stored persona that includes a stored RF fingerprint that matches the received RF fingerprint; determine that the electronic device that emitted the RF signal is associated with the stored persona; determine, based at least in part on the determination that the electronic device is associated with the stored persona, that a user associated with the stored persona is authorized to be present in the AUS, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to: receive, from an access control system, access control information including access credentials received at an access control device associated with an ingress point of the AUS, while the RF signal is being detected within the AUS, and wherein the one or more ingress points are points on the one or more boundaries of the AUS; and determine that the stored persona includes stored access credentials that match the received access credentials, wherein the determination that the user associated with the stored persona is authorized to be present in the AUS is further based at least in part on the determination that the stored persona includes access credentials that match the received access credentials, while the RF signal is being detected within the AUS. receive, from an access control system, access control information including access credentials received at an access control device associated with an ingress point of the AUS, while the RF signal is being detected within the AUS, and wherein the one or more ingress points are points on the one or more boundaries of the AUS; and determine that the stored persona includes stored access credentials that match the received access credentials, wherein the determination that the user associated with the stored persona is authorized to be present in the AUS is further based at least in part on the determination that the stored persona includes access credentials that match the received access credentials, while the RF signal is being detected within the AUS.
