Introduction to access control:

If you are looking to monitor and control your employee’s access to the office premises, then you need an access control system. Using this technology, you will be able to create user groups and assign access privilege to them based on their clearance to certain areas. As a result, employees will be able to enter rooms they are allowed in. At the same time, you can also check employee log from the system to get an idea of their movement.

The idea of access control-based entry system is not a new idea. The most common type of access control system is the card-based system. In this case, users are given access card and they touch or swipe the card at the access control device during entry or exit. Another way of authenticating the access control is using the fingerprint. However, in recent years face recognition technology has improved rapidly and many access control system manufacturers have released their latest devices with facial recognition-based authentication.

What is facial recognition technology?

Facial recognition-based access control systems authenticate employees by scanning their facial features. The system takes a photo of each employee during the registration process, and after that, the system scans the face of each person every time they request entry to the room. The spoofing proof technology ensures that each employee is authenticated with the highest level of accuracy.

Why facial recognition?

Facial recognition-based door entry system gives a hassle-free authentication process. With this, you do not need to worry about reaching for your pocket to find the card. All you need is to stand in front of the door for 1 second and the door will unlock itself for you after authentication. This smart system is for tech enthusiast and people who are serious about having a smart office or home. The system is secure and generally easy to maintain.

Best facial recognition access control:

Hikvision DS-K1T606

This facial recognition access control device is the best option available on the market. It has an impressive 99 per cent accuracy rate. The system uses deep learning algorithm, which makes it even more accurate and faster over time. The device has two lens cameras for facial recognition. The 5-inch LCD touch screen display of the device works well. The device has two variations, DS-K1T606M and DS-K1T606MF which also features a fingerprint scanner. The device can store 3,000 images, 5,000 fingerprints and 100,000 events. It does not have a SD slot, so you cannot increase the storage capacity. When the capacity reaches the maximum level, then the system overwrites old images. To avoid losing any old data, you need to export data periodically from the device. The access control system also features card-based authentication. So, you can use a combination of more than one authentication system for your premises. The device requires Hikvisions IVMS 4200 software. The software can be downloaded for free from Hikvisions website, usually access control installers will download and configure it for you during the installation. The system is easy to use and has a great user guide to follow. It connects to secure door control unit to avoid the door opening if the terminal is damaged.

Invixium Titan

This access control device from Invixium has a 21 MP HD camera with autofocus and LED flash. It can detect frontal, non-frontal and partial profiles well within 1 second. The device has artificial intelligence and can automatically estimate age, race, ethnicity and gender. Apart from facial feature authentication, it also comes with a finger print scanner. The elegant looking aluminium shell is strong and fully waterproof.

Titan is powered by a Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 820 processor, which is one of the most powerful processors ever used with a door entry system. The high-powered processor makes the device powerful enough to scan images taken with its HD cameras.

Other entry systems worth mentioning:

The facial recognition-based access control system is still not widely used, as a result, only a few companies are able to release a fully operable system. Hikvision and Invixium are the forerunners for this technology. Other than them, Stonelock has developed a capable face recognition entry system. Their entry system “Stonelock Go” has a multi-face tracking feature. Which we found very interesting. The final product worth mentioning is Facepass Pro developed by a company called ANVIZ. Its “look and go” solution makes the authentication super-fast. The system can recognize a registered person even if he is wearing Eyewear and cap.
