Recommendations on different brands of Biometric Face Recognition Solutions
- If you have a requirement to monitor body temperature along with the normal biometric authentication, then you have ‘Thermopile’ technology available in Realtime and ‘Thermograph’ technology available in Hikvision. The ‘thermograph’ technology can monitor the body temperature (of the face) from a large distance with the person anywhere within the video frame, where as a thermopile requires the person’s face to appear within a virtual template of the video frame to get the temperature measured.
- Most of these devices can also check for mask and give appropriate warnings if the mandate is not met.
- Hikvision scores more brownies under this comparison although it comes with a steep price point.
- All the devices above support door access controls, multi authentication factor (Face/Card/Biometric/Password). The difference lies in two parameters:
- How quickly the face match is done
- The quality of the face picture captured
- The WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) feature of the camera helps capture a better image if there is a bright source of light behind the face, so if you are planning to install this outside, then make sure WDR feature is available.
- Realtime devices take less than 0.2 seconds to match the face and win this round.
- All the devices provide generate report feature via their own software which can be exported into either XLS or CSV format which in turn can be imported from your backend software if needed.
- The screen size, event capacity (also called as logs) really do not matter much as most of the devices are connected to their software (Either cloud or standalone) and can send data to them in realtime. So let these numbers not mislead you.
- To summarize if you are looking for a cost effective face recognition machine (No temperature and mask check) then Realtime wins. If you want to go for the temperature and mask feature then Hikvision much better. As far as warranty is concerned both these products have an excellent service channel spread across India.
