In the past you were more likely to see a biometric security system in science fiction movies or high level military compounds then you were in regular offices. However, technological advances in the last few years have made these high-tech security systems far more accessible to the greater public.
Biometric security systems are currently used in a variety of offices and business around the world as an excellent means of security and access control.
Biometric security systems offer a highly advanced form of identification. These systems verify an individual’s identity through either physical or behaviour characteristics that may include hand geometry, retinal scans, voice prints or facial characteristics. When a Biometric System is integrated into an office’s security system employees are required to give their biometric information which is then stored in a database. Every time the individual tries to gain entrance into a secured area the biometric system will access this database to determine whether the individual has access to that area. Because it is impossible to replicate individuals biometric information these security systems are often regarded as some of the best security systems in the world.
Types of Biometric Security Systems
There are various types of biometric security systems that different companies are developing. The first and most common type of biometric security systems is fingerprint recognition. These systems measure the various ridges and valleys that are unique to an individuals finger print to determine identity. Another form of biometric technology is facial recognition. This system identifies individuals by analyzing certain facial characteristics such as the distance between the eyes or the length of the nose. A third form of biometric security systems deals with the analysis of the shape of an individual’s hand. While this system is not as exact as others it is still useful for verification purposes. Iris recognition is one of the biometric security systems that have been popularized in many science fiction movies. In this system the coloured ring that surrounds the pupil is measured to determine the identity of an individual. The final form of
biometric security systems is voice recognition. These systems are based on software that measures the tone, pitch and cadence of an individual’s voice. These systems are often available as security systems for laptops or computers.
Biometrics was once viewed as a futuristic technology that was unavailable to the everyday person. These days many security companies offer you the chance to protect your business with the most advanced security systems available. For more information on
