Biometrics is a process of identifying a person by their unique and measurable human characteristics.
A person’s biometric characteristic can be the size and shape of a hand, the ridge and valley pattern of a fingerprint, the frequency of voice or iris characteristics of the eye.
No longer are these devices found only in James Bond movies and Star Trek reruns. They are used on the front door of thousands of businesses around the world. More advanced technologies coupled with affordable components and the demand for high security have allowed biometrics to become a common component in the commercial access control landscape.
Today, thousands of businesses use biometrics. At ASI we design and install Biometric solutions that fit your current security needs, while taking into consideration the needs that may arise in the future. Organizations are beginning to see the benefits of biometric identity and access control management.
Some of the different types of biometric solutions available are fingerprint recognition, face recognition, iris recognition, hand geometry recognition, voice recognition and finger print recognition.
Integrated Access Control
Access control is the process by which users are identified and granted certain privileges and access to information, systems, resources and entry into certain areas of a building or facility. Access control devices properly identify people, and verify their identity through an authentication process so they can be held accountable for their actions. Good access control systems record and timestamp all communications and transactions so that access to systems and information can be audited at later dates. Access control systems provide authentication, authorization, and administration.

There are different types of access control technologies that can all be used to solve access solutions. Proximity keys, smart cards, and passwords are some of the more popular access control technologies. Access control systems can be used to control access to computer data bases, server rooms, facility entry doors, interior departmental doors, turnstiles and more.
