How Face Scanning Technology Works

biometric scannerThe natural progression from fingerprint scanning technology is facial recognition technology.  While fingerprint door locks are effective security systems, face scanners are arguably even more so because it directly identifies who is trying to access that lock.  But how does facial recognition work?  Luckily, you have come to the right place to find out.

Face recognition door locks rely on the ability to identify, recognize, and measure the unique landmarks of a person's face.  It then matches what the machine sees with its database of authorized users and decides if it matches the right criteria or not.  If it does, voila, the door is unlocked!  Some examples of facial landmarks include:

    Biometric Scanners: You Are the Key

    biometric scannersIn a few words, biometric scanners work by scanning your finger, hand, and/or face and matching it against authorized users and then either allows or denies you entry.  This is not the wave of the future, this is part of the here and now!  Biometric scanners improve security exponentially when combined with other security measures like security cameras.  This relatively new technology surpasses old-fashioned lock-and-key doors because the key is actually you.

    While keys can be stolen, copied, and then used for nefarious purposes, that cannot be done with your finger.  The sensitive equipment in a scanner can reliably recognize each person's unique physical signature.  Another thing to note about traditional doors, their locking mechanisms can be picked by a determined thief.  By manipulating the tumblers in normal lock with the right tools, the door is as good as open.  Fingerprint scanners remove these two weaknesses from your security system.

    Proper Accountability With Time Clock Software

    biometric scanners

    Having your employees clock in is somewhat tricky.  But having a reliable way to do so is just as tricky.  Traditionally, this meant employees taking a piece of paper and using a hole puncher to clock in and out of work.  But this method is too unreliable and cumbersome for not only the employees that have to do it but also the accounting departments that make sure the payroll gets done properly and everyone gets their fair share of the wages.  But what can make it easier?  Time clock software that works in conjunction with a biometric scanner will do the trick.

    Old systems employees use to clock in and out of work are archaic and are easily manipulated.  Anyone can take any other punch card and use it, either by accident or as a "favor" for fellow employee.  At the end of the day, there is no real guarantee that the employee whose name is on that punch card is the one that has been clocking in and out every day and at the appropriate times.  A biometric scanner removes all doubts because it requires the unique fingerprint of each person to clock in and out of work.  There is no way to get around it.
