Using biometric facial recognition technology to identify people, and so allow or deny their access, is becoming increasingly important. It helps to increase security because fraudulent use is more difficult than when using a card, for example, and it can add a layer of verification. It can also increase convenience as there’s no fumbling for a badge or entering a pin. Most importantly, given the recent COVID-19 pandemic, it provides a contactless means of doing this.
Facial recognition is available for AEOS access control for the first time thanks to an integration developed with technology partner Thales Cogent. This integration let’s manage physical access control and facial identification and verification – all in one interface.
