Why Biometric Technologies are catching the eyes of security equipment manufacturers?

Today, security is biggest ever concern. Every corporate office, production unit, organization, educational Institute, Government offices and building and almost any premises need promised security equipment’s. They all are ready to spend a lot of money behind it but they demand guarantee in the security. It is a truth that “prevention is better than cure”.

The invention has been done in security equipment’s in every decade. Today, lots of security equipment’s based on different technologies are there in the market. However, it is also a fact that the fraud people has found a solution to break the security bare and also this is the reason of new invention each and every time.

The latest technology in the security is biometric technology. It has shown a lot of promises. It is too early to say that biometric technology is the full proof. However, we can say that biometric technology is better than the current other technologies. It is now catching the eye of security equipment manufacturers. I want to discuss something that proves biometric technologies superior.

Let’s discuss the basic of biometric technology. Biometric technology takes the human’s unique characteristics to verify the unique person. It includes fingerprint, eye retina scan, face scan, and many more other. The device, which can scan these characteristics, is attached with the computer system. The system makes an entry for each person and saves the unique data and after that system verifies that person by comparing the stored data.

The other security system based on physical entity like identity card can be fraud. The fraud can stole that identity and can use it for malicious attack. Biometric unique characteristics cannot be stolen or duplicated. That’s why it is superior.

The personal data privacy is also good advantage. Personal biometric characteristic is stored in one database and it doesn’t require disclosing it anywhere. So personal identity must stay secure and no one can duplicate it makes the breaking of the system also hard. It can reduce the cost of maintenance as well. In other system like identity card, when someone join the authorized group we need to make the identity card for that. On the other side, in biometric system there is not any requirement of these all formalities.

Biometric systems are speedy and accurate than other system. To secure the premises where every day hundreds of or even thousands of people passes the biometric security system can work very easily. The system based on Face Recognition is perfect suits for access control in the situation like this.

The other application of biometric system is Time Attendance. You can track the incoming and outgoing timings of employees. No one can fraud the time attendance system and can do the fraud entry. Therefore, you can track the exact incoming and outgoing timings.

Biometric security systems are providing a lot of benefits to fulfill the requirement of us regarding the verification and identity. As I have stated that it is not full proof but still we can say that it has enough promises to convince the people who require the high-level security.

Effective security solutions with biometric technology

Security everywhere is very vital issue today. We're all on alert or in fear after the attack in Mumbai and the biggest attack in the United States. Public sector such as banks, hotels, hospitals and shopping malls are the most likely targets to be attacked. Nobody wants to be a victim of this type of activity. Crime or attack can happen anytime, anywhere. No one feels fear free even in religious place as well. Terrorism has not left even the temples, mosques, churches and other religious places also to become its targets.Such dangerous acts are taking away our freedom to live freely. We cannot blame our government for that. Our government cannot provide security to individuals. We must take our own measures to protect ourselves. Now it is the time to adopt innovative high-technology systems.

Earlier we do not have any technology that detects the dangerous acts.  Now Security guards are not the solution or can avoid this type of activities. Let’s take basic introduction of the Biometric technology, which can help us to protect us from these attacks. Biometric technology has covered physical and behavioral aspects. It relies upon real human attributes and human behaviors like eye retina, fingerprints, signature, keystrokes, voice identification etc.  This technology uses both the aspects as identification and authentication. Due to the perfect result of the system it is reliable and trustworthy.

How it works: We have discussed that it works on real human attributes. It scans the required attributes of human and stores them in the database of the system. It is all the pre defined settings. When someone tries to access, the system again scans attributes and matches the attributes with the stored database and if finds match then only allow him to access.  If the system do not find match it gives error message or alarm or give message for new registration.

We can amend this technology with door access control, time attendance system, face recognition system, visitor management system etc.  Let’s take a look to these systems one by one.

Door Access Control:  Door Access control system is a fast authentication and smart access control. The system scans facial attributes, stored them to match it with the identity. The system is to be set at the sensitive entrances like bank entrance, hotel entrance or your premises entrance. It restricts to enter non-recognized person.  There is no need to spend time behind security and no need to manage registers, Identity cards and keys. With smart monitoring it saves records also.  It is the better security solution and smart access control for public sectors.

Face Recognition system: You might hear that the important data stolen from the PC. Face recognition system prevent the unauthorized access to your corporate information.  It scans facial attributes for verification. It specially designed as it can capture faces from moving. It sends the data to the center database for verification. The system restricts the unauthorized identity to access your PC and save your important data.

Time Attendance System: The days are gone were we keep records of employee or visitors in offices or in organization. It becomes very difficult to manage all the things - logbooks, identity cards, IN time, Out Time, Punch cards and all.  Time attendance system based on biometric technology works as facial recognition system. It is the standard cameras that stores face records and keep logs of employees as soft data.

Visitor Management System: Visitor management systems keep track of your visitors within your premises. System again takes the input, scans the attributes and sends them to database center for verification.

All these security systems are really powerful and effective to overcome our so many problems in which security is the most critical issue now a day.

Next level security system – Biometric door access control


Security is always concern whether you buy a new home, office or any private or public sectors. Whenever you want to buy a new home or want to go somewhere a safety is the main point that you first consider. Technology is also growing very fast and some bad factors like terrorism along with technology growth. Crime is also growing in city because of this down economy and recession. We have to develop some kind of advance level of security to overcome all these issues and to make ourselves safer. Hiring security guard is not being well enough in this situation. We have to think about individual security that does not rely on other, which works continuously and automatically and make you feel safer. We have seen many terrorist activities in last decade of time that takes land from our feet. So what is the better solution and system which can fulfill our entire requirement? What is the robustness of the system on any critical situation? Which technology can be used to prevent these kinds of activities?  Biometric technology is the only solution to overcome this situation.

Biometric technology is a new edge technology which relies on real human features like. It has ultimate identification process and execution is based on these real futures. Human features like   eye retina, signature, voice, DNA and keystroke can be used for identification. You must have seen the technical gadgets being used in some of the James bond movies where people use their eye to open that fancy door or to open a lock of some of the precious things inside. At first glance we might think that these are fake gadgets and can’t be real but with the help of biometric technology it became real. Te cost is not that much high that no one can afford with comparison to the security level it provides. Let me explain how the system actually works and how identification and authentication take place.

As I said before it used some of the physiological and behavioral attributes of human being. Physiological attributes like eye retina, voice, DNA and behavioral attributes like keystroke and signature can be used as identification features. This technology scans all these attributes of the human according to its pre defined user setting. It stores all these attributes in its central database. When someone tries to access the system it scans all the attributes again and then compare it its central database. If it finds the mach in its database it allows to process that particular personality otherwise it gives alarms or asks for new registration according to system set up. Along with identification and authentication process it also keeps track of other factors like how much time particular person has remain in your premises and time when someone access the system. It generates report on regular basis according to date you have specified to generate the reports. The entire system can be converted into payroll system for your company which generates entire reports at the end of every month according to your convenience. Now we have seen the working process of this system. Let’s see which kind of security instrument we can develop with this technology.  

With integration of this technology, we can develop a door with Biometric Access Control, access control system, time attendance system, pay roll system, visitormanagement system and face recognition system. Each of above system has same purpose of security hence different utilization. Door access control can be used to restrict the entry of particular person at sensitive doors. Time attendance system can be used to track entry of each of your employee. Face recognition system can be integrated with laptops and computers to protect your private data if someone steals. The same way it can be integrated and used with other instruments. There is no heavy cost for this system and it can be used with existing operating system. So think of biometric technology when it comes to security.

Various Security device based on biometric technology and biometric authentication


Accuracy and speed is two major concerns about security of any places and the tools or security devices which are being used to enhance the security of particular places whether it is home, office or any other public place. Sometimes it is necessary to have the advance level security device and tools which can serve these two purposes and on which you can trust for security. Especially places like bank, hotels, office and at some doors you need to establish the system which can restrict the un-authorized entry and prevent some of the destructive activities.

If we talk about enhanced level of devices and system, biometric technology is the right thing to choose for your safety. It is a new technology which works on the real human features like face, eye retina, finger prints, signature, voice and key stroke. You may be wondering that there must be a log card or some kind of physical log card which can be sued for identification process. But as I have said before, here we are talking about the advance level of safety which can work accurately with efficient speed. So these are the features that system uses for an identification process. It has scanner which scans these feature from particular human input and then convert into digital format which can be stored in computer for further authentication of any person. Based on different input that you have chosen for your office or home, you need to add extra hardware components. if you wish finger print identification then you need to have biometric scanner and if you want to have face as an authentication feature then you need to have extra camera that can scan the entire face and make synchronization with system interface.

Biometric technology has large range of areas from which different application can be made which is based on this technology. Biometric access control, facerecognition system, time attendance software , visitor management , and door access control system are the well known system which has been already implemented with this technology. Let’s analyze all these systems in detail with aspect to different security purpose.

PC security based on Facial Biometrics

If you are at good position in your company who takes some of the important decision that is based on company’s progress then it is important to secure your private data in your laptop or computer which must not be stolen or accessed by any other person in the organization. The same way, some of the important computer likes server computer or master computer which monitors the entire movement of the organization. With help of facial biometrics you can secure your computer in which authorized person needs to give one of the features that I have explained above as an input. It also reports the who had try to access your computer and when with accurate time and face of the person.

Biometric access control to secure sensitive doors

At some of the places like a way to your safe or server room or electricity room there must be a biometric authentication that can restrict the unknown entry and can prevent the damage to your organization. So according to importance of specific door, you can adopt this system and you can have Biometric Access Control at these doors. You can choose any of the features as per your safety requirement for an authentication process.

Time attendance and visitor management system

These are the two most common and most utilized application based on biometric technology. For accurate and speed, facial biometrics is a good option to choose for an authentication. Along with providing accurate tracking of your employees and visitors , it also provide some additional facilities like calculating the total no. of days anyone was present in the month, time of the visit and other calculation based on salary count. This way it also works as pay roll management system for your company. Time attendance visitor management based on this technology provides advance security and accuracy as well than other system in the market.

Secure your doors with your eye retina as an authentication


If you might be wandering how you can secure your doors with your eye retina since it only been seen in hi-fi action movies or the movies of James bond which used his eye to open the door of very high voltage weapons or highly classified things. Nowadays technology has grown up very fast. Every day new technical things are being invented which we can imagine in dreams or can be seen in movies only. Each day there is an invention of new dangerous weapons and new technology to give security against these destroyers. Terrorism activities have also been improved and encouraged by some of the countries. Attacks on world trade center and Indian hotels are just recently seen example of these activities. We need to develop and adopt the new system which can service and protect us from these activities. In this case, biometric technology is an ultimate option to be adopted and adored by most of the organizations which require better security system.

Those days are gone where we hire few people for security at your offices, home and other sensitive places. In this hard economy time we have to think about something smarter which can save our money and can also provide better security. Now there is an era of automation. Everyone wants to have fast and automated system which serves better way. For the last decade of time, everything is becoming automated with new technology and device to fulfill all requirements. Automatic online shopping and transpiration are an ideal example to give. The same way, our security should be shifted to automated system which should deliver better functionality and better safety. Biometric technology and Biometric Access Control is the answer of new era security system which satisfies two main functionality which is better safety and less maintenance cost. Instead of talking about all aspect of security level, let’s narrow down our discussion to in house and office security to restrict any un-authorized entry.

Let me explain you little introduction about biometric technology and the devices in which it can be integrated. Biometric technology is based on physical features of human being and some of the logical features.  As an authentication, it uses Physical attributes like eye retina, finger prints, DNA and logical attributes like voice, key stroke and signature. All these features can be stored in central database by converting it into certain digital signal to compare at time of identification. As I said lets narrow down our discussion to access control system which can be integrated with biometric technology.

Security doors integrated with biometric technology are also known as biometric access control or security doors with biometric technology.  As I said it comes with scanners which scans your eye retina and then store it further identification process. Whenever you need to go to the place with doors you have to give your identification by showing your eyes to scanner which scans your retina. If it finds matches in its database then its lets you through those doors otherwise it gives alarms or any signal according to your predefined setting. It also provides new registration if you have specified as per your requirement. Along with allowing or denying entry to specific place it also generates the well formed report for the entire day, month or year as per your specification. If you are using especially for your premises it can also work as pay roll time attendance system for your all employees who automatically generates report of entire month with all necessary required information and other calculations. This way doors with biometric access control gives better security and functionality at same price and maintenance.

It can be also integrated with other devices and can made systems like hr management system, time attendance system, visitor management system and facerecognition system. All these security system operates on single authentication system which uses your eye retina and other attributes as an authentication.
