Why Facial Recognition Security Companies Have A Future

By Jeannie Chapman


The facial recognition technologies have laterally transformed many companies for better. In addition to better protection benefits enjoyed by facial recognition security companies, they are able to protect the privacy of the consumers and produce better quality and highly innovative products and services. This perhaps explains the reason behind the overwhelming demand of this technology by firms all over the globe.

The whole technology is primarily based on the computer applications that are designed to automatically identify and verify a person basing on the digital image or even a video frame. The captured features are quickly compared with the facial features already stored in the computer database. The working is similar to other biometric systems like the iris recognition technology and the fingerprint system.

The these security firms have gone to the next step of using three dimensional face recognition systems, an improvement on the earlier systems with even better results. These are known to capture specific features in the face and use them for the recognition purpose. Unique facial characteristics such as eye socket contours, the nose alignment or even the mouth shape are some areas that will be relied on for this purpose.

With 3D facial recognition, there are even greater advantages such as ability to recognize the user from various angles and with diverse light sensitivity. This is something that was a challenge with the earlier systems. In addition to this, the system also processes data very fast and give feedback in a matter of seconds.

The experts have even predicted that this is the way to go with the technology expected to completely replace the existing security systems such as the use of passwords and personal identification numbers (PINs). This is particularly to do with the fact that cheaper and highly effective and efficient solutions are being developed, something that has revolutionized this industry for better.

The working of this technology can be seen in the modern computers fitted with sensors that recognizes the presence of the user and automatically log on. When the user is away, the machine will quickly log off hence protecting crucial information in the process. In such an environment, there is no threat to sensitive information as access to such information is limited to authorized persons only. This is particularly of major importance to financial sector, medical offices and other related firms where protection of client information and other information is of out most importance.

In addition to controlling the access to the information in the computers, the firms are also using it to limit access to sensitive areas to authorized persons only, monitoring the time employees report to work and leaves their work stations and for use as evidence in case of a security breach among many other uses.

Facial recognition security companies have been able to make a kill as evidenced by huge profits and large volume of sales, a testimony of how the technology is demanded. The consumers on the other hand have been able to hugely cut costs with better managerial practices, all translating to higher profits. The secret however lies on the ability to develop systems that are efficient and effective while at the same time affordable in the market place. Many companies have risen to this challenge and are producing revolutionary products.
