Fears about fingerprint information capture have long been put to rest. The new frontier for biometric technology is now a reality: long range facial recognition for access control.
Challenges:
Historically there was fear about capturing and storing biometric information.
The second challenge was having to slow down at a door to present credentials, or worse, interact with an unreliable device you had to touch or put your face close to.
We’re not talking about putting your face close to a device any longer.
ZKAccess is talking about "long range" facial recognition at distances out to about 12 feet.
At this range, there’s now enough time for the access control system and the facial recognition device to determine identity and allow or deny access to a door with plenty of time to allow a person to maintain normal walking speed and enter a secure area.
BioCam300 can operate stand-alone (no computer nor panel needed) for quick and easy installations requiring no special wiring, and can also be tied into any existing third-party Wiegand panel for greater security.
BioCam300 unlocks doors upon positive face recognition once authorized users walk within 12 feet of it.
