Verifying identity with Iris Reader
Safe and easy to use
Biometrics Security products relies on the complex and intricate patterns in the iris of the eye, which are unique to each individual. With a specialized Panasonic video camera, a detailed close-up of the iris of each authorized person is captured into the system. The Biometric Security products software then makes a template or 'map' of each person's iris pattern, and stores it in the system.
To verify identity later, an individual simply 'looks into' a specialized iris camera located at a designated access point. The system compares the patterns in the individual's iris against the templates stored in the system. If there's a match, the identity is verified.
The Security products system involves no lasers, bright lights, or any hazardous technology at all. It's as safe to use as any video camera. And it's compliant with worldwide standards, including, CENELEC, (EN 60825-1) and ANSI RP-27.1-96
Compared to conventional techniques such as ID cards, keys, and passwords, the Panasonic Iris Reader system can be much less costly to administer and operate, and can easily accommodate larger numbers of personnel as your needs grow. And unlike ID cards and passwords, Iris Reader is almost impossible to 'spoof' or to counterfeit.
Compared to other types of biometric systems, Panasonic Iris Reader can be more accurate and precise. With a false acceptance ratio of 0.001% to 0.0001%, Iris Reader is:
100 to 1,000 times more accurate than spot fingerprinting
1,000 to 10,000 times more accurate than hand-print verification
3,000% more accurate than voice-prints
The database of iris template data is secured by 3DES encryption, to guard against theft or misuse of the data.
