Biometric Access Control System

Biometrics are best defined as measurable physiological and / or behavioral characteristics that can be used to verify the identity of an individual. These include fingerprint, retinal and iris scanning, hand geometry, facial recognition and other techniques.

The value proposition for Biometric readers in access control is simple: a card can be duplicated or stolen, but a unique physiological characteristic cannot. Biometrics enable access control systems to ask not only, "What do you have?" and "What do you know?" but, "Who are you?"

As a result, biometrics are taking an increasingly prominent position as an additional access control solution in today’s escalating requirements for physical security.

Standard Features

Iris Scanning ACS

Iris scan is a biometric technique that uses the unique patterns on a person's retina to identify them. It is not to be confused with another ocular-based technology, iris recognition.

The human retina is a thin tissue composed of neural cells that is located in the posterior portion of the eye. Because of the complex structure of the capillaries that supply the retina with blood, each person's retina is unique. The network of blood vessels in the retina is so complex that even identical twins do not share a similar pattern.

Although retinal patterns may be altered in cases of diabetes, glaucoma or retinal degenerative disorders, the retina typically remains unchanged from birth until death. Due to its unique and unchanging nature, the retina appears to be the most precise and reliable biometric. Advocates of retinal scanning have concluded that it is so accurate that its error rate is estimated to be only one in a million.

A biometric identifier known as a retinal scan is used to map the unique patterns of a person's retina. The blood vessels within the retina absorb light more readily than the surrounding tissue and are easily identified with appropriate lighting. A retinal scan is performed by casting an unperceived beam of low-energy infrared light into a person’s eye as they look through the scanner's eyepiece. This beam of light traces a standardized path on the retina. Because retinal blood vessels are more absorbent of this light than the rest of the eye, the amount of reflection varies during the scan. The pattern of variations is converted to computer code and stored in a database.

Face Recognizing ACS

Our access control system is designed to work in different premises. If you are searching for a security system that can provide the protection from the access of the secured areas or resources then the CONVIVO’s access control system is the perfect solution. Since access controlling mechanism is a day to day phenomenon and therefore protection of the various resources is a vital act.

Our biometric solution access control system is based on face recognition technology. It thus eliminates the usage of the primitive security methods of implying security guards or maintaining a heap of papers containing the access details. This electronic security system captures the facial details of the individual and saves the data electronically into the database of the computer. When the individual revisits the premise for the next time, the face recognition system again captures the facial details and performs a match with the already stored patterns. When it finds a match, it gives the permission for access right. By this our access control system checks the access of the individuals to certain restricted areas or resources.
