New Self Enroll Function to Speed Up Your Project Deployment

 

AccuFACE on TurnstilesAccuFACE is the first facial recognition system to have user self enroll function. This new function allows system administrator to create a list of pre-registered user. Once the list is loaded to AccuFACE, the system would automatically turn into user enrollment mode when a pre-registered user enters his/her User ID via a card scan or an external keypad connecting to AccuFACE.

  
 

Why You Need Self Enroll Function?

 

 

(1)    Automate and streamline the enrollment process

  • User can still do enrollment even if the administrator is not present
  • In a large scale enrollment, the "per user enrollment time" could be significantly reduced 

(2)    Lower workload for the system administrator

  • During user enrollment (especially large scale enrollment), it is quite time consuming for system administrator to enter user info for each user. The Self Enroll function could simplify the user info entering process and reduce workload for the administrator

(3)    Reduce administrative error

  • It is possible to make administrative error (e.g. typo) when entering user info to the system, especially during large scale enrollment. Creating a pre-registered user list in advance allows administrator to check and verify the accuracy of the user data

How It Works

 

Below is an example showing how easy you can create a pre-registered user list to enable Self Enroll function. Once you load the script to AccuFACE system, the function is activated!

Sample Self Enroll List

 

Self Enroll function is already being enabled on the latest update of AccuFACE firmware.

 

 

Tech Insight:  

Understanding Biometric Technology and Product (Part 1)

 

In this and the next issue of newsletter, we will explore different biometric technologies and discuss how they fit into real life applications.

 

Available biometric technologies

 

Among all biometric security systems installed in the world, fingerprint authentication system is by far the most commonly used system. It is because fingerprint system has been introduced to the market for a long time and its end-user price has dropped to a very affordable level (USD 250 - 1000). As other biometric technologies have emerged, users notice these new technologies could overcome the shortfall of fingerprint recognition. As a result, hand geometry, iris and facial recognition systems have gained popularity over the past few years.

  

The effectiveness of a biometric security system is determined by

 

(1)    Its successful rate to enroll user (FTE Rate)

(2)    Its ability to authenticate user accurately (FAR)

 

Fingerprint system has a Failure-to-Enroll (FTE) rate of 5% based on some studies. The reasons include ........(Read More) 

 

 

Cheating a Fingerprint System
 
Fake FingerprintAs a big threat to traditional biometric systems, people can now purchase "fingerprint mask" self-making kit online for <$30 (USD). The kit is completely Do-It-Yourself. It consists of silicon gel, mold-making material and other simple tools. Each kit can make about 30 fingerprint masks.

 

 

Based on customer information, the fingerprint mask may cheat both low-end and sophisticated fingerprint systems. Since the fingerprint mask self-making kit is easy to purchase and make, some factory and company workers are using fingerprint mask to tamper biometric time & attendance system. Company management should monitor their fingerprint time & attendance system and how their workers use such system to minimize payroll lost.
