Biometric
System have changed the way we do security these days, with technologies like
fingerprint, face recognition commonly used for access to high security areas
such as those involved in high-level government security.
The
two main classes of biometric characteristics are mentioned as under:
Behavioral:
As the name suggests, they are related to the behavior of a person. For
instance, an individual's typing rhythm, gait and voice.
Physiological:
They are related to the shape and structure of the body. Examples are face recognition, fingerprint, DNA,
hand and palm geometry and body odour.
facial recognition system is one of the
physiological biometrics, which is used as one of the additional and mass security
measure. It's a computer program or an application which identifies a person
from a digital image or a video frame from a source.
When
facial recognition systems is used as part of a biometrics security
undertaking, subjects allow several pictures of themselves to be taken, with
different facial expressions and at different angles. This method of
identification is accurate, and is becoming even more accurate as the hardware
and software improves, and the technology is used by more and more people, and
improvements are made.
An Internet protocol video camera (IP Video Surveillance), or IP camera, is a type of
digital video camera commonly employed for surveillance, and which unlike analog closed circuit
television (CCTV)
cameras can send and receive data via a computer network and the Internet.
Although most cameras that do this are webcams, the term "IP camera" or "net cam" is usually
applied only to those used for surveillance.
Today's security systems utilize CCTV
security cameras that utilize Internet protocol technologies. IP CCTV video
security systems have better resolution than traditional analog systems do,
more flexible installation, and easier to use features.
It can be
expensive to completely replace old analog CCTV systems with new IP-based ones,
but fortunately, you don't have to. You can integrate analog systems with new
IP technology by utilizing a hybrid platform. This gives you all of the
benefits of the newer technology and is a more cost effective option as
compared to completely "starting over" with new equipment. Whether
you decide to completely replace your old analog CCTV systems with new
completely IP-based CCTV systems or simply do integration of old and new
technology,
You’ll find
significant advantages:

In
expensive, easy to set up and maintain

You
may have heard of the term 'heatmapping' and wondered what it meant. Or you might already know what it
means but wonder how to use them and how they were generated. The usefulness of
heat maps is very much dependent on how they are generated, and there is more
than one way to do this.
Basically,
a heat map is a graphical representation indicating by the use of color the
areas of the where you have deployment of security personnel. This is normally
done by showing the most popular parts of your services in red and the least
popular in blue. Red is associated with heat, and blues with cold; hence the
name 'heat map'.
A
heat map can be very useful to you in designing your security plan, and in how
to arrange the tasks. Heat maps demonstrate that the majority of people look at
the services effectiveness and efficiency. Heat Mapping has strong background in imaging and IP technologies
ensure that their solutions meet any organization’s current needs and have the
ability to adapt to future requirements.
