Here’s a brief guide to the main types of biometric lock systems on the market today, as prepared by the professional Atlanta lock installation and Atlanta commercial locksmith team here at Atlanta Fast Locksmith.
- Fingerprint Scan Biometrics – This biometric identification technology is often used in airports. It will involve pressing your entire pointer finger or thumb against a scanner. People’s unique fingerprints are programmed into this biometric lock system’s computer for it to recognize. There are a few fancy apartment complexes that use fingerprint scanners to help residents enter the building. Some other properties use a dual combination of a fingerprint scanner and PIN code input to help provide authorized access.
- Vocal Recognition Biometrics– Vocal recognition is found in both public and private properties. Some people who have smart home systems that boast security features might use voice activation that utilizes voice recognition. Many large industrial, commercial, and government establishments use this special biometric technology for security. In order to set up voice recognition biometrics you will provide a few vocal samples that will be stored inside the system’s network. Some vocal recognition biometric systems are text-dependent or require the speaking of speech sentences or phrases to help identify voices, while others are text-dependent and can analyze voices no matter what you say.
- Facial Recognition Biometrics– These biometric systems are becoming more popular than ever recently, while for years mostly only being present in films and television shows. This type of biometric identification stores information about an individual’s nose shape, cheekbone shape, and the depth of eye sockets and jawlines, and then matches it with a detailed scan. This technology is most famously used by smartphones these days as a way to unlock for the designated owner, but can also be applied – most often – to commercial, industrial, and government establishments.
