Support Control and Biometric Access: Safety Benefits

On August 15, knowledge management on Biometric Attendance and Access Control: benefits for security was carried out, taught by Eng. José Balladares, member of the electronic security team.

What is attendance and access control?

Biometric attendance and access control is an identification system based on the physiological qualities of the user, but it can also be based on the behavior of the user. It is a personal and non-transferable system. Within biometrics as an access system, we can differentiate several types of recognition: fingerprint, facial, ocular or vascular identification, among others.

The main advantages of a fingerprint reader are:

• It offers a higher level of security to the facilities. Biometric access control is considered the most secure system, as it is based on unique qualities of the user. The fingerprint is a non-transferable and unrepeatable feature in each person.
• Reduces maintenance costs. Biometric fingerprint access control has lower maintenance costs compared to other identification systems.
• The fingerprint reader does not require additional devices to open the door. The user does not need to use traditional keys, cards, switches or switches. Being based on the recognition of the unique characteristic of the person, it dispenses with physical identification elements, so there is no risk of misplaced keys.
