Biometric technology and ID
identification has greatly reduced the possibilities of buddy punching and
unauthorized access for businesses. Yet there are different types of biometric
technology on the market as a business owner has to decide which will work
right for their building.
Fingerprint
recognition:
Door fingerprint locks rely on scanning the unique ridges and valleys on the tips of a worker's finger. These fingerprints are used to match the fingerprints on file in the system to identify the worker.

Facial identification:
Facial identification works by taking pictures of a worker's face at different angles during the enrollment program. These pictures are stored in the system's database. When a worker uses the facial recognition system, they show their ID card as the system scans their face through the camera and matches it to the pictures in the system.

How To Choose A
Biometric System?
Both facial and fingerprint biometric recognition systems have their advantages and disadvantages. Yet the benefits should convince most business owners to invest in one of these security and time clock attendance systems. To decide which biometric identification system to pick, use these factors based on the type of business:
* How much can you invest in a biometric system?
* How many biometric systems will you need?
* Where will the biometric systems be placed (interior or exterior)?
* What environmental issues may affect the biometric system operations (i.e. dirty work areas that will affect fingerprint scans or lighting that may affect facial recognition)?
