The latest professional biometric readers provide increased reliability and functionality. Biometric door access control units attach to the network and measure a person’s unique physiological characteristics. Note: They do not store a picture of the fingerprint or face. Everything is encoded for security and privacy.
All these IP door reader-controllers can be powered using PoE (with splitter), or 12 VDC.
Fingerprint, finger-vein, palm, retina, iris, face, and voice are examples of some of the identified biometrics. Biometrics provides far better security than RFID card credentials. It is better than cards or pin numbers because you are identifying a person rather than something the person is carrying. Many of the readers available Have multiple access keys. They can read biometrics as well as RFID cards and PINs. Please take a look at our article Comparison of Security Provided by Door Access Systems for more detail about the security levels provided by different door access control readers.
Face recognition systems use either an IP camera with recognition software that runs on your computer or a biometric door reader that includes built-in software.
The latest facial recognition systems are self-contained units that attach directly to the network. These IP Facial readers are very easy to install.
Facial recognition readers connect to the network and identify a person’s face from a template that has previously been recorded. These integrated units contain all the intelligence, allowing enrollment as well as door control. They record coded information rather than an actual picture of a person.
If you need contactless door entry control, then face recognition is right for you.
Face recognition is a process that electronically identifies a person based on their facial features. Face recognition is one of the biometric methods for identifying a person. Other forms of biometric identification include fingerprints, palm prints, and eye retina analyses.
Most face recognition systems use IP cameras to capture various features of a person’s face. Facial recognition is used for door access control and by law enforcement to find people in a general population.
There are different processes for identifying a face but here are some of the basic processes that are used.
Select the Facial Recognition Reader
The new biometric door reader provides face and palm authentication. It also can prevent the entry of a person that has an elevated temperature or if they are not wearing a protective face mask.
Designed for organizations that need a door access reader as well as a way to screen people for elevated temperature and if they are wearing a protective mask.
This biometric door reader combines a powerful embedded thermal camera and the latest face and palm recognition algorithm that is supported by an optimized dual-core processor.

Fingerprint readers detect the raised pattern on your finger.
These fingerprint IP readers actually encode the pattern that they detect into key data points. These minutiae points reduce the total amount of data stored. Since the information is encoded the data can’t be used to reconstruct the actual fingerprint.
We have readers that just read fingerprints, and some that are multi-biometric and read both fingerprints and finger vein patterns, and those that read fingerprints and do facial recognition. These multi-modal readers increase reliability, yet don’t cost much more than conventional fingerprint readers.
Select the Professional Fingerprint Reader
The Finger vein reader captures an image of the vein patterns which exist beneath the surface of the finger. In this case, the vascular pattern is detected using a near-infrared LED. The system detects the hemoglobin in the bloodstream, providing a distinct pattern.
Select the Professional Finger Vein Reader
Multimodal readers read a number of different biometrics. For example, they can read both fingerprint and/or finger vein, or fingerprint plus facial recognition. These readers can also use RFID credentials and pin numbers for increased multiple authentications. See the Professional Readers
There are also biometric facial recognition systems that can recognize a person in a crowd. These systems operate very quickly and improve the accuracy. See more about this special facial recognition system system
Facial recognition can also be used to find a person in a crowd. This is a different type of system but It can be used to provide dual authentication when a credential is used. The 3D facial recognition technology provides recognition even if the person is not facing exactly in the right direction.
Identifying people is one of the best ways to control access to your facility. You are granting access to the person rather than an RFID credential card they carry.
The 3D facial recognition technology not only authenticates a person, it can also be used to monitor and control guests.
Note: This new 3D facial recognition system replaces the FST biometric door access control system. The FST technology increased identification accuracy by adding full-body motion analytics to facial recognition, while the new system utilizes 3D analytics to dramatically improve reliability. It quickly identifies authorized people as they approach the door. It gradually learns more, becoming more accurate as time goes on. This sophisticated identification system is the latest in biometric recognition.

The facial management software runs on a Windows computer and allows you to receive alerts, control the system in real time and manage the system’s database.
A single station can manage hundreds of biometric stations, and aggregate the databases to provide redundancy and advanced management of authorizations on a single or multiple sites.
