If you are wondering how you can secure your doors with the retina of your eye as it has only been seen in hi-fi action movies or James Bond movies that he used his eye to open the door of very high voltage guns or highly classified things. Nowadays technology has grown very fast. Every day new technical things are invented that we can imagine in dreams or that can only be seen in movies. Every day there is an invention of new dangerous weapons and new technology to provide security against these destroyers. Terrorist activities have also been enhanced and encouraged by some of the countries. The attacks on the World Trade Center and Indian hotels are recent examples of these activities. We need to develop and adopt the new system that can serve us and protect us from these activities. In this case, biometric technology is a definite option to be adopted and loved by most of the organizations that require a better security system.
Gone are the days of hiring few people for security at your offices, home, and other sensitive locations. In this tough economy time, we have to think of something smarter that can save our money and also provide better security. Now there is an age of automation. Everyone wants to have a fast and automated system that serves them better. During the last decade, everything is being automated with new technologies and devices to meet all the requirements. Automatic online shopping and sweating are an ideal example to give. In the same way, our security needs to be changed to an automated system which should offer better functionality and higher security. Biometric technology and biometric access control is the answer of the new age security system that satisfies two main functionalities: higher security and lower maintenance cost. Instead of talking about all aspects of security level, let’s narrow our discussion down to home and office security to restrict any unauthorized entry.
Let me give you a little introduction about biometric technology and the devices it can be integrated into. Biometric technology is based on the physical characteristics of the human being and some of the logical characteristics. As authentication, it uses physical attributes like eye retina, fingerprints, DNA and logical attributes like voice, keystroke and signature. All these features can be stored in the central database by converting it to a certain digital signal for comparison at the time of identification. As I said, let’s narrow down our discussion to the access control system that can be integrated with biometric technology.
Security doors integrated with biometric technology are also known as biometric access control or security doors with biometric technology. Like I said, it comes with scanners that scan the retina of the eye and then store it for further identification processing. Whenever you need to go to the place with doors, you need to identify yourself by showing your eyes to the scanner that scans your retina. If it finds matches in its database, it allows you to go through those doors; otherwise, it emits alarms or any signal according to its predefined configuration. It also provides a new record if you have specified as per your requirements. In addition to allowing or denying entry to a specific location, it also generates a well-formed report for the entire day, month, or year based on your specifications. If you are using it especially for your facility, it can also function as a payroll time attendance system for all your employees that automatically generates a report for the entire month with all the necessary information and other calculations. In this way, doors with biometric access control provide greater security and functionality at the same price and maintenance.
