The facial recognition system is one of the best surveillance techniques available in the world right now. From Airports to corporate offices to mobile phones, everyone is moving from traditional ways to facial recognition.

What is Facial Recognition?

A facial recognition system is biometric software that maps an individual’s facial features and stores the data as a faceprint. Facial recognition system matches up to 80 nodal points of the face with the faceprint to provide access to the restricted area (such as offices or mobile phone) to an individual.

The facial recognition system used in corporate offices is different from the ones used by police or airport security authorities. One of the best facial recognition systems is the Bio Face Reader. It provides you door access control system, which means, only authorized personnel will get access to your office.

It not only works well in low-light medium but it can also be integrated easily with your already present time attendance system.

How does Facial Recognition work?

There are 80 nodal points in a human face and the facial recognition system captures all those data on a digital image and stores it in the form of a faceprint. These nodal points are used to measure variables of an individual’s face such as the length and width of the face, the shape of the cheekbones, the depth of the eye sockets, and more.

The system then uses the faceprint to compare with data captured from faces in an image or video. The face recognition system has the potential to quickly and accurately identify target individuals.

Why Should You Use Facial Recognition in Your Office?

There are a lot of benefits of using a facial recognition system in your office:
  • No need for physical contact with the device.
  • Acts as a door access control system, providing access to only authorized personnel.
  • Can capture visitors’ picture, increasing the level of security.
  • Easy to integrate with existing security features.
  • Can act as a time attendance system.
  • It requires less processing time as compared to other biometric systems.

The facial recognition system has been gaining popularity because of its increased security features. It can match an individuals’ face more accurately than any other biometric system.
