Our facial recognition system, AvidFace, provides a complete contactless access control solution using what is called “faceprint” or fast and accurate biometric recognition. When companies and organizations adopt AvidFace, they bid farewell to the days of employees searching for their key cards and all the calls to the security team because someone forgot their access code. With Facial Recognition Security Cameras technology and its accurate biometric system, those days are as outdated as floppy disks and dial-up internet (if you remember those, congratulations—you’re officially a tech historian). We are in the era of facial recognition access control.

What is Face Recognition Access Control?

According to a report by Markets and Markets, the global facial recognition market size is projected to reach USD 13.4 billion by 2028.

While many people think that facial recognition technology helps detect criminals, track down suspects, or enforce the law, it is actually all that and more. Cameras with facial recognition technology can grant/deny access to employees in companies and organizations, and ensure that unauthorized persons are not in certain places. This technology generally works in several steps:

1. First, the facial recognition system detects an image or video of a face.
2. The system analyzes this detected image/video using facial geometry and takes measurements of the distance between the eyes, the distance from the forehead to the chin, the curvature of the jaw, the depth of the eye sockets, the circumference of the lips, ears, and chin, etc.
3. A “faceprint” is created by converting analog information into a set of digital information/mathematical formulas (data) so that the system can understand it.
4. The system looks for a match by comparing the faceprint to a database of faces it has previously recognized. If not, they may spend some time at the front desk or enjoy their ride back home.

AvidFace Access Control Applications in Various Industries

This system has numerous uses and purposes across various industries, including:

1. Hospitality Industry

By matching photos/videos with the face of a hotel guest, they can be granted access to hotel rooms and services without the need for cards and passwords – and without the constant complaints of lost key cards.

2. Retail

By using this system, stores can identify customers and make suggestions based on their previous visits and purchases. It also ensures that business owners are not in certain places without authorization, and helps them combat shoplifting and alert security when people with a history of shoplifting enter.

3. Banks and ATMs

This system ensures the bank security cameras of the bank, and only allows authorized persons to enter the operational areas, and also ensures easy access and completion of withdrawal and deposit operations without queues, waiting, and crowding. For example, Seven Bank in Japan has adopted the “Face Cash” service to withdraw and deposit cash using facial recognition technology in 26,000 ATMs across the country.

4. Sensitive Industries and High-Risk Areas

AvidFace leaves no room for doubt regarding access rights to sensitive and high-risk areas. Access is determined by the authentication of the person’s face and matching it with data stored in the system.

Takeaway:

• In the world of facial recognition, AvidFace is smart, fast, and always evolving with an accuracy of over 90%.
• Face recognition systems control access based on: identifying a person’s image, measuring and analyzing facial and feature dimensions, building a data map, and matching it with data in the database.
• A faceprint is similar to a fingerprint in terms of uniqueness.
• The global facial recognition market size is projected to reach USD 13.4 billion by 2028 (Markets and Markets, 2024)
