Biometrics
From fingerprint identification to facial recognition, biometrics is the analysis of biological data. In the 19th century Biometrics were used to help identify criminals, where body measurements, movement and distinguishing marks were used to recognise and narrow the field of suspects. Fingerprinting then began in the late 19th Century and, although this is still used today, technology has seen development in measuring voices and fingers through to irises and faces. Biometrics today would usually be associated with identification such as with the use of biometric technology in airports. Systems can authenticate an individual’s identity, for example, by comparing fingerprint patterns, iris structure or facial features. Through continued research and development the use of Biometrics is becoming more common place in practical applications.

Locks enables unique access for individuals making it a useful application for commercial environments. The Biometric Fingerprint Door Lock system relies on state of the art fingerprint recognition to gain entry to a room, ensuring a high level of security. This modern technology creates a digital code of the fingerprint making it quicker and more accurate when using the lock. Raising the sliding cover activates the unit whilst protecting the fingerprint reader from dust and moisture. It locks automatically on closing and a panic exit function allows the door to be unlocked from the inside at all times in case of emergency. It is easy to install and also fits most traditional wooden doors. With a capacity of 78 individual fingerprints it is ideal for high traffic commercial premises as there are no codes to remember. Users can be added or deleted individually. Powered by batteries located in the lock these provide 15,000 cycles with a low battery alert feature of 100 entries in advance.
