Here at IDS, we offer a range of access control systems that can help to control and regulate who has access to a property and when. Alongside the common key fob, card and PIN pad systems, we also offer cutting-edge biometric systems that use unique physical characteristics to identify individuals and grant them access to a building or restricted area. Keep reading this blog to learn more!
What Are the Different Types of Biometric Access Control System?
All biometric access control systems use unique human biological features to identify users. The most common examples are:
- Fingerprint recognition
- Facial recognition
- Voice recognition
- Iris recognition
- Palm or finger vein recognition
How Do Biometric Access Control Systems Work?
Biometric systems capture and convert biometric data like fingerprints, facial features and vein patterns into digital templates that are then compared against a saved data base. Once a match is found, the access control system will determine whether that person has permission to access the restricted area. If they do, the system will grant access.
What Are the Benefits of Biometric Access Control Systems?
The ability to recognise unique details like finger and palm prints comes with a number of advantages for biometric access systems, including:
Enhanced Accuracy
Unlike other access control systems that use PINs or passwords that can easily be compromised in a data breach, the features analysed by biometric security systems cannot easily be duplicated, making these systems ultra-secure. After all, you may be able to guess someone’s password or PIN, but you can’t use their face to open a door!
Convenience
By eliminating the need for passcodes and key systems, biometric security devices provide a high level of user-friendliness and time efficiency. Plus, they completely avoid the issue of forgotten passwords!
Versatility
Biometric systems are also incredibly versatile and can be suitable for a number of environments and work settings. They can also seamlessly be integrated with existing operations and scaled up if your company grows.
Return on Investment
The advanced nature of biometric access control technology also means that it provides a long-term, cost-effective solution for your security operations, avoiding expenses that can easily build up like replacing lost cards.
At IDS Security, we offer a range of biometric access control systems and are more than happy to tailor your system to meet the specific demands of your business or property.
