Things go wrong all the time, but security and accountability have to be there no matter what. That’s why FingerTec USA's fingerprint door lock models like the FingerTec R2 and R2i not only incorporate the most commonly used communication protocols, TCP/IP, in order to guarantee constant monitoring, but also come equipped with USB backup. In the event of a communication error, the R2 and R2i still draw on this supplementary system to provide the same revolutionary level of biometric specificity and accountability. This fingerprint door lock and time attendance system is secure when you need it.

Software is a key component in access management. Since everyone’s situation is different, and security and accountability should follow suit, FingerTec fingerprint reader software runs on the safe and situation-tested Linux platform, providing the ability to customize to your business’s particular needs and to adapt fluidly to rapid environmental changes. Additionally, in order to make access management familiar and easy to use, the file maintenance system is Windows-based on your end, allowing for easy organization and simple presentation. This two-pronged software approach maximizes both hardware and personnel efficiency.

With such well-suited software and products like the R2 and R2i, FingerTec attendance and door lock systems are secure now, in the future, and every situation in-between.

Every business has assets, information, technologies and so on that have to be protected from competitors and thieves that want to make some money off of the sale of confidential information. Your company is going to want to layer security features like security cameras, encrypted computers, and locked doors on top of one another to deter and even prevent any theft or attempt at corporate espionage.

The bad thing about typical doors that use a bolt and key is that that key is a very weak link in the chain of security. As is the locking mechanism itself. The key can be lost and found by parties who would use it to unlawfully enter a building and steal what is inside. That key can also be copied by someone with bad intentions on their mind. But if you were to replace that old door's key and locking mechanism with a fingerprint door lock, you can effectively remove those two weaknesses.

Fingerprint door locks rely on a person's fingerprints to unlock. Fingerprints are unique to each person and cannot be duplicated. Also, fingerprints cannot be lost so you do not have to worry about someone picking it up off the side of the road.

When you think about the advantages of using a fingerprint lock to keep things secure, it makes sense to switch over.

When I say fingerprint door locks are "clutch" I mean they are a very important point of security for many businesses. This is especially true with businesses who own proprietary products, prototypes, and confidential information. A grand majority of people only have experience with a regular old door that is both locked and unlocked using a regular old metal key. So what is so bad about that? These keys can be lost. If you are "lucky" they are simply lost forever, nowhere to be found. But if you are not lucky, some unscrupulous individual might have already picked it up and will try to see what it unlocks. With time and desperation enough they will eventually succeed.

But replace that old-fashioned door and lock with a fingerprint door lock and you will not have that problem. The key to such a door is attached to you at all times so you run no risk of simply losing it. And unlike keys, fingerprints cannot be duplicated. You have so much security and control over who has access to that entrance that you will soon realize that having a regular door that uses a key is all but useless. It is also less reliable.

A month or so ago a friend of mine who runs a small PC repair and maintenance had his store broken into. Even though the front of the store was securely locked behind a steel gate that slid from the top of the entrance way, there was a side door that was not nearly as secure; this was how the thieves got in. Thankfully they did not steal much except for a PC monitor and a broken laptop that was being serviced and was left out by accident. My friend was smart enough to install a few video cameras in the store so with the help of the police we were able to find and catch them. Also, the stolen stuff were eventually returned.

It turned out well in the end but my friend was very very upset at the time. Previously I had advised him to install a better side entrance and a fingerprint door lock. Instead, he opted for a regular lock and key door which was obviously picked open by the intruders. I did not want to be the one who told him so but the day after the store was robbed he looked at me and said, "You were right, I should have installed that fingerprint door lock."

"So we are going to be installing a new security system and door lock mechanisms soon. After the recent attempt by thieves to pick the lock and break in I think it is the best time to upgrade our security."

"Makes sense. Will it be effective enough to stop or at least significantly slow down any future attempts?"

"Oh yes. As part of our new security upgrades every door in the building is going to be installed with fingerprint door locks."

"Really? That is pretty cool. How do those things even work?"

"In a nutshell, fingerprint door locks scan your thumb or any other finger for that matter and then matches it up with authorized prints in the database. If it matches, you are in. If not, you are out of luck."

"Cool tech."

"I agree. With our old series of doors that needed locks we were unable to really keep track how many keys we made and who had what keys. It was too hard to track who lost their keys so this will definitely get rid of that worry. The lock also has a built-in tracking system that allows us to see who entered and exited each door; there was definitely no way we could have done that with keys."

"True enough."

Growing up you may have seen a spy movie or two. You know how they all seem to have the coolest, most efficient software and machines.

As far as we're concerned, there has always been organization in police investigations of thefts and other crimes. The crime scenes we see on television shows always use fingerprinting as their way of catching the "bad guys." Well, sadly before these techniques were implemented crime scenes were not as respected as they are now. In fact, before the FBI started realizing how valuable fingerprints were in uniquely identifying people as forensic scientific evidence, they weren't even taken that seriously.

The other thing we now can implement is the use of fingerprints as a form of identification for files. Important documents may require an inking. Many businesses and homes use finger scanner technology for door locks. Yes, the fingerprint door lock is another addition to security measures. Fingerprints have gone from a 'post-crime' way of identification to a pre-crime preventative measure. Pre-emptive home and office security is wise for people protecting valuables and personal safety.

Things have come a long way since fingerprint reading has been implemented. If it weren't for this study of the ridges in our fingers, then a lot of these inventions and security advances would not be possible. Such a simple thing has made such a significant difference so it's important to use it to its full potential in protecting property.

Offices used to be filled with closed doors and rows of cubicles. However the 21st century's definition of an office is a more open and collaborative environment. A lot of this is a result of the advancement in technology and in security.

What was once standard is flying out the window and being replaced with more cost effective and accurate solutions. One example is the eminent takeover of personal devices, which have made "bring your own tech" (BYOT) a common office practice. Because of this, security and employee work shift tracking software has become more popular.

Obviously offices are now filled with WiFi and PBX hosted phone systems too. Computers are smaller and files are shared online. Things have generally shrunk and have become less paper-oriented. It saves storage space for more practical items.

Biometric time clocks are another big switch. Since more time is being spent outside of the traditional office space, complex systems are now in place to record breaks, meetings, and absences. When people are coming and going more often access security has to advance as well, hence the implementation of fingerprint door lock technology.

Obviously this is just the start but it is a big step forward. Considering there is a whole century ahead of us and technology advances exponentially faster, there is a lot to look forward to.

Yes, the holidays are joyous and jovial. But they also have a stressful side. This is a definite truth for store owners. While the holidays bring in customers and profits, they are also a prime time for petty theft. You want to make sure that your business, your earnings, and your stockroom are all safe. The last thing you need is to go to open shop the next day only to find that there's nothing left to open.

Have you considered a fingerprint door lock? This would be the optimum time to consider it. The only people who will have access to the "employees only" spaces are employees. The door locks have databases that can store information on your entire staff so that they can enter and exit easily, however it keeps unauthorized out. And while it's a rare occurrence, if you have problems with any employees you can revoke access remotely whenever you like. The safety standards of fingerprint reader software are much higher than with manual door locks. Some models will allow access with cards as well to help save time.

Your money's safety is crucial this time of year. You are going to need the revenue to boost you into the New Year. Take the time and invest in biometric technology today. It's easy to install and will save you a lot of worry.

Kevin McCallister could have saved himself a heck of a lot of effort if he had a fingerprint door lock. All of those traps he planted around the house to prevent a robbery by the "wet bandits" must have been a real pain to clean up after the whole debacle. Of course, life in the early 1990s was not as advanced as it is today. And if for whatever reason you want your home to feel safer when everyone's out and away you can depend on finger scanner technology to deny door access to any strangers.

Biometric technology has surfaced as one of the most reliable forms of security. It has proven to be reliable in offices when it comes to door access and employee clock in software. So much so that it is even being implemented for personal use at home.

Only employees working with a certain access ID or within that department's database will be authorized. It keeps order in check.

Let’s be honest, we have all done it; Had a classmate mark you as present when you were in fact absent,
or had a co – worker punch your time card when you were running late. The fact of the matter is people
want to do the right thing, but when there is not accountability, they can falter. Fingerprint time clocks
makes us be our best selves by encouraging us to show up on time, and accepting responsibility when
we can’t. It makes it easy to do the right thing, by removing the shortcuts and excuses.

The fingerprint door lock is another useful accountability tool. We would all love to believe that we are
immune to forgetting our keys, and that no nefarious entities can get them. The fact of the matter is, an
average 360,000 homes get broken into a year in the United States. Often by people who obtain or copy
keys. Don’t assume it won’t happen to you. Be secure with a fingerprint door lock. The futuristic look
of the lock alone is enough to deter most crooks. Now you do not have to worry about how many copies
of your keys are floating around when you move to a new home.

Ever notice how every evil thing on the Hellmouth seemed to find it's way inside Sunnydale High School? No matter what Buffy did, demons, vampires, even hell hounds have found their way through the school hallways. But what if they had fingerprint reader software? Think about how many break ins they could stop. I mean, even vampires were able to waltz right through the front door, but they couldn't with a fingerprint door lock. Fingerprint door locks require not only a specific fingerprint, but also a warm hand. Vampires, as we all know, do not have body heat or blood coursing through their veins. They are, in fact, dead. A cold, dead hand isn't going to get them anywhere inside that school!

Having fingerprint door locks in your facility is going to protect it from unwanted intruders. Whether it's just someone trying to wander in to the wrong place by accident, or someone trying to break in, they won't get passed the verification. You can also set up specific rooms of your building with locks, so only certain higher-up employees can access them. And maybe you can avoid a vampire or two from getting in there as well.

If you've ever watched The X-Files you probably noticed that although agents Scully and Mulder are not cleared for higher level security they always manage to break in and get evidence they were never meant to obtain. If you had a show like that now, the premise could probably never work. Either that or they'd have to get more inventive.

see, had there been finger scanner technology in the buildings with the super secret conspiracy files, The X-Files would have to feature episodes where the two super sleuth alien investigators try valiantly to break in only to go home defeated and settle for watching episodes of Jeopardy. That's not very entertaining to watch, but at least we'd think more highly of the security system responsible for national security.

Biometric technology scans intrinsic physical or behavioral traits of people. The most easily identifiable features that also happen to be the most unique are the fingerprint and the eye. Each person has a different pattern. It is for this reason a fingerprint door lock is a much safer system to have in place. It's a great product for businesses, hospitals, and security facilities of any kind.

Tired of your employees changing the time on the manual employee time clock and then punching in as if they're not actually late? Well, instead of something so unreliable you can use the fool proof method to avoiding time theft and fraud. Fingerprint scanning technology, like a fingerprint time clock, is becoming more popular because it's just easier to set everything up digitally.

If you've been to Disney World in the last few years you'll notice that along with your park pass you need to place your finger on a scanner. This is to verify that you've been in the park, used the same entry card. You cannot substitute someone else's card as yours.

This can bring to ideas to mind: what if you can monitor attendance, so that only authorized can access your building, along with time scheduling your employees? You can use a door fingerprint lock at the entrance and an attendance system to keep payroll and hours in check. So when your office is souped up like Fort Knox, all the fair weather employees will notice they can't sneak away with their usual shenanigans. It also prevents intruders and/or ex-disgruntled employees from gaining access to your confidential documents.

When you think of something as high tech as a fingerprint door lock, you usually would associate it with being in an office. But you can install one just as easily in your own home. It could be really essentially if you have an area of your home where you keep valuables. Just a safe isn't always enough. Maybe you have more than just a few things, or have priceless collectibles. Whatever it may be, a fingerprint door lock can be exactly what you need to keep unwanted guests out.

The great thing about them is you can register your whole family, so that no one living in the immediate household will be left out. Have them register any finger they'd like and from that point on only that finger specifically will let them in. You can install it easily by removing the old door knob and replacing it with the fingerprint door lock.

You can use it anywhere; on the garage door, on the room you hold your valuables, or any other room you don't want accessed. So don't pass it up as an option for keeping your valuables safe.

Sometimes there are certain areas in a building that need to be off limits. It may be that room in your office with sensitive documents that can only be accessed by certain employees. You don't want just anyone getting in and stealing important information. It may be an area of a medical facility that you don't want patients wandering into or that may contain hazardous materials. It could even just be a private bathroom that you don't want outside solicitors to use.

Whatever it may be that you are protecting,a fingerprint door lock is the most secure way to do it. You just need to register the proper employee fingerprints once and they'll be able to access the room anytime they need to. You can add a new employee anytime as well as remove access for ex-employees.

There's no way to get into the room without the actual person present, so you can account for everyone entering and leaving. You'll have minimal risk of outside wanderers getting in, or anyone else who may be trying to gather important information. A fingerprint door lock could even be used at home if you have a room where you store your valuables so you know only your family can access them.

It has a variety of uses, so don't rule it out if you want the best security.
