Release Time: 2021-05-17

Facial recognition used to be a futuristic idea. Today, however, we use face ID to access our smartphones and other smart devices every day. It’s a secure and convenient form of access to our information.

Now, face recognition is creating the same secure and convenient access to our physical spaces.

face recognition access control has quickly become the emerging technology in physical access due to a shift towards health-conscious solutions that also offer incredible security.

Facial Recognition Access Control

To understand facial recognition as it is used for access control purposes, it’s important to first understand how facial recognition works. Understanding operability, benefits, and even privacy concerns will prepare users to make the best decisions when integrating this type of access security to a building.

Along with other benefits, face recognition can now be used to provide access to buildings in a safe, touchless manner. Instead of a key card, systems provide a camera based-reader, that authorizes entry using the person’s face. All you have to do it walk up and look at the reader, it runs recognition, identifies the person and sends a signal to unlock the doors.

COVID-19 and Face Recognition

With COVID-19, facial recognition used for access control has now become mainstream due to various reasons:

Ability to perform a touchless access

The need for setting up touchless systems in offices

Large scale familiarity and use of face ID by Apple for mobile unlock

Arrival of privacy focussed companies that provide a secure, privacy oriented platform for using face recognition

Improvements to facial recognition accuracy, which is now on par with a person’s ability to identity someone

Benefits of Face Recognition Access Control

While touchless access using face recognition offers clear benefits throughout COVID-19, it’s future-proof benefits are also worth mentioning:

Touchless access to doors

No need to remember to grab a key card

High security for the building, since you are verifying the person directly

Seamless; eliminates fumbling with a key at the access point

Self-enrollment for users

Face Recognition Access: Hardware and Equipment

Face recognition access control requires a specialized reader for running face recognition. However, most systems utilize the pre-existing hardware inside a building. Most facial recognition access reader hardware works with existing electronic door lock, current wiring, and motion sensors etc. This means you can upgrade to touchless access systems by reusing most of the infrastructure already in place.

Facial Recognition Door Openers

Facial recognition access systems can be combined with automatic door openers. With this combination, a person can walk up to a door, look at the reader, and the door would prop open automatically.

Facial Recognition Door Lock

Facial recognition credentials grant access and unlock doors, without having to carry keys, key cards, or other forms of credentials. This is a major benefit to the end user, but it is also especially beneficial to multifamily buildings and offices by reducing their burden of managing key cards and fobs.

Types of Biometric Access

Face recognition is just one form of biometric door access control method. There are a few other types of biometric access control methods:

Iris Recognition Access

Fingerprint Access Control

Palm Print Access Control

Iris recognition is another touchless form of biometric access control.

Buying Considerations

Finding the best facial recognition access control system involves the following considerations:

Number of doors

Multiple site support or compatibility

Price per reader, and how that aligns with business goals

Enrollment process

Accuracy and security against photo based attempts to access

Reliability

Data privacy
