The new frontier for biometric technology is now a reality: long range facial recognition for access control.
Challenges: historically there was fear about capturing and storing biometric information.The second challenge was having to slow down at a door to present credentials, or worse, interact with an unreliable device you had to touch or put your face close to.
We're not talking about putting your face close to a device any longer. ZKAccess is talking about "long range" facial recognition at distances out to ~12 feet. At this range, there's now enough time for the access control system and the facial recognition device to determine identity and allow or deny access to a door with plenty of time to allow a person to maintain normal walking speed and enter a secure area.
ZKAccess claims to be the first to market with this long-range facial recognition reader. Here's a short video about their new BioCam 300.
