What would it be like to have an access control system in place that’s better than your security guards? It’s one that uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and some pretty futuristic technology. A biometric access control system grants access to authorized personnel by several methods: face recognition, fingerprint readers, retinal eye scanners, and hand geometry readers. It’s the most precise way to keep your business secure.

That doesn’t mean you should fire your security team. The human element is essential when it comes to business security. Instead, biometric access control supplements your existing system, making your building’s security like Fort Knox. Keep reading to learn the four biometric options you have for your business in Brownsville, TX.

Highly Secure Access Control

It may seem like science fiction, but it’s real. Biometric access control systems don’t require keycards, key fobs, or PIN codes. Instead, they “look” at you to verify your identity. If you need a highly secure building, these smart access controls are virtually error- and tamper-proof. Intruders don’t stand a chance. Also, you won’t be concerned about an employee sharing access to your building or a restricted area. With biometric scanning, you eliminate the problem. Some of the most popular types of biometric access control systems include:

Eye Scanners

Your space-age biometric access control system sees all! Actually, it sees what’s in your eye. A retinal eye scanner is an ultra-secure commercial security method for granting and denying access. Circumventing the scanner may only be possible if you have a double. In fact, even identical twins can’t pass for each other, because they have different retinal structures. The retinal eye scanner is ideal for laboratories, government offices, and financial institutions.

Fingerprint Readers

If you have a smartphone, it’s likely that fingerprint access control is one option to unlock your phone. A commercial fingerprint security system works the same way. Before entering the building or an area within the building, an employee must place their finger on a scanner. The scan is then compared to a stored scan for that employee. If there’s a match, access is granted. This option, as well as all biometric systems, are excellent if an employee forgets their keycard or PIN code.

Face Recognition

Cameras are now smart enough to recognize your face. Most smart surveillance cameras can tell the difference between a family member in your house and an intruder on your property. These cameras use a stored image (or images) in the database to identify your facial signature. Nobody has the same face as you. Even if there are similarities, advanced facial recognition software can tell the difference.

Hand Geometry Readers

These types of biometric access controls are primarily used for internal areas in your building. A hand geometry reader measures the unique shape of the hand, such as finger length, hand thickness, and various curvatures. If you have certain sensitive areas, these readers establish someone’s identity before granting access. Even though it is highly advanced, it uses less memory storage for your surveillance systems.
