How Do Finger Print Access Control Systems Work and What Are The Benefits?
Finger print access control systems provide homeowners and business owners alike with the ultimate keyless entry system that can’t be foiled by making duplicate keys. Since each individual has unique fingerprints no one other than an authorized person can gain access. This eliminates the hassle of lost or forgotten keys.
Print access control systems work by using sensors that read the print and match it against a digital representation of the print in a database. There are two phases to the fingerprint recognition process. The first phase is one of establishing an association of a particular person to a particular print. This phase is only done when a person is first entered into the system. Once that is established, that particular user is identified by the system by their print. Based on the permissions assigned to that particular print, access is granted or denied. This can be set up to allow access only to certain areas or zones, or the user can be granted “all access” to all zones. Since there is virtually no way to re-create someone’s fingerprint, this method of access control has a minute margin of error and provides heightened security levels.
Although fingerprint recognition systems have been around for a while, they until now have been limited to government buildings or other areas requiring higher levels of security. As the technology has progressed and costs have come down, now many mainstream businesses and homeowners are able to afford this technology which improves security for the home or business. In the case of businesses, the system can act in a duel capacity as a time clock as well as a security system. This eliminates employees clocking in and out for each other as the system obviously requires the person to be present.
