Explanation

A camera and DVR system is the most cost-effective solution for detecting tailgating within a limited budget. It provides continuous, recorded monitoring of the entrance, creates an evidentiary record for review and accountability, and serves as a deterrent. A full-time guard is expensive and is not feasible under budget constraints. Revoking all proximity badge access is operationally disruptive and doesn't detect tailgating - it just eliminates access entirely. A motion detector near the entrance would trigger on every authorized person entering, generating constant false positives and providing no way to distinguish tailgating from normal access. Only the camera/DVR solution both detects and records the specific behavior of concern.
