Biometrics for Access Control

Access control technology is increasingly used worldwide as a security measure in institutions.

Biometrics are a fundamental part of an Access Control system, as they represent the direct interface with the user, receiving information from them to assess whether or not the individual has access to the site.

There are many types of biometric devices , such as fingerprint, hand, iris, vein, and voice readers, which can be used with keypads or keyboards, or proximity cards for more robust solutions. This allows for the implementation of systems where an individual's access through a door requires a combination of fingerprint (biometric), PIN (keypad), and card. A combination of just two of these is also possible, or access can be granted using only one of the three options.
