Biometric Scanners are one of the automatic methods which recognize a person by physical appearances. The key features which are mainly recognized are:
- Face
- Eyes
- Fingerprints
- Handwriting
- Iris
- Voice
All these physical appearances help to know a person and open the vault or lock.
Not only for such securities, but biometric scanners can also be used as marking a presented for your employees by just scanning their Identity cards or fingerprints, to know who is on time and who isn’t or also to just let the selected employees in a classified room.
What are the varied types of scanners available in the market and how do they work exactly?
The Biometric Scanners are mainly used for two types:
- First is for security reasons: The Biometric security system can protect anything from a small locker to a large vault; depending on the type of valuable kept inside one can choose the biometric scanners. These biometric scanners have generally saved encrypted keys of a specific person, so only those people by scanning their hand-prints or any other body can enter the vault or open the locker. If any other person tries to open it, the lock won't open and will trigger the alarm. By this, one will not only know that an unwanted person has entered the premises and tried to open the lock but also, that no matter what, the valuables are safe.
Some Biometrics is so advanced that they even get to know the pressures in the veins and voice of the particular person. If only all those things match, the lock opens.
- And Biometric attendance system: These are most commonly used in offices, factories, workshops and other all such areas where a large number of employees have to be present. These biometric scanners work on thumbprints, identity cards, punching cards, and so on. These systems not only record the presented of the employee, but it also records the timings of entry and exit. So, the owner or the manager or the person in charge will know the exact presented and the working timing of every employee.
These two types are commonly used in the modern days, along with which biometric scanners are also used as a lock for the house so that the house can only be open by the family members of that particular house unlike the traditional lock and key system.
Benefits of installing a Biometric system:
There are huge advantages to the biometric scanner security system. Out of which, some are:

- Efficient: The identification functions are very quick and easy, typically while identifying an employee or a visitor can be done in a fraction of seconds.
- Convenience: The user, as well as managing of these scanners, is very easy for employees as well as other personals, no need for resetting or any other complex applications.
