Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing an individual based on unique physical characteristics. Biometric technologies, like hand geometry, enable a facility manager to ensure that only verified users have access to a facility at authorized times. Biometrics provide the highest level of assurance that the actual authorized individual, rather than just the authorized key, card, or code, has to a secure facility.

Because of the versatility of biometric technologies, you will find them used in universities, data centers, day care centers, airports, healthcare facilities and government buildings – any place where resources, lives, or sensitive information requires the highest levels of security.

 

Hand Geometry
Hand geometry measures the size and shape of a user’s hand, including length, width, thickness and surface area to verify the person’s identity. In conjunction with a PIN code or a card, the individual can gain access to the facility. Hand geometry technology is well accepted by users, as there are no fingerprints or palm prints taken and the user does not leave behind any trace of their biometric data. In addition, hand geometry can be utilized in both interior and exterior applications.
