The Huge Benefits The Facial Recognition Security Companies Are Reaping

By Jeannie Chapman


With increasing security threats faced by many firms from both internal and external sources, face recognizing technologies are being adopted as the measure to protect the firms are round the globe. Just like other biometric systems such as the finger print technology and iris identification technology, this technology too depends on the unique features that are unique to an individual. This is what has been exploited by facial recognition security companies to reap huge benefits.

The principle behind the facial recognition technology is the use of computers to capture facial images, compare them with the ones in the database and provide a feedback. The digital images are used to automatically verify a person and allow or deny access to a specific system, rooms or even work stations.

The three dimensional face recognition technologies are now gaining popularity with many facial recognition security firms opting for it. In this case, there are several sensors strategically placed and coordinated at a central processing area. Such unique features like the shape of the nose, the eye contours or even the chin appearance are some of identification features.

With 3D facial recognition, there are even greater advantages such as ability to recognize the user from various angles and with diverse light sensitivity. This is something that was a challenge with the earlier systems. In addition to this, the system also processes data very fast and give feedback in a matter of seconds.

The experts have even predicted that this is the way to go with the technology expected to completely replace the existing security systems such as the use of passwords and personal identification numbers (PINs). This is particularly to do with the fact that cheaper and highly effective and efficient solutions are being developed, something that has revolutionized this industry for better.

An example of how the system works can be seen where the computer automatically logs off when the use is away and logs on automatically again after recognizing the presence of the user. Such computers can be used by a number of users without jeopardizing the information in the system as each of users get access to their own accounts only. This is particularly very important in the areas dealing with sensitive information in open offices and shared machines such as security firms, financial sectors and hospitals among others.

Some other areas in which this technology is used include protection of sensitive areas such as storage of sensitive items, monitoring of the employee reporting and leaving times, and can also be used as a source of crucial evidence in case of a security breach.

Facial recognition security companies are now performing better than other firms as a result of the technologies employed. There is better protection of the secrets of the firm, product information and even customer information. This in addition to other benefits have improved managerial performance and increased profit margins for these firms boosting their market performance. With the coming of cheaper yet highly efficient and effective facial recognition technologies, these firms are set to perform even better.
