Affordable industrial face recognition system

1 min read

A new industrial dual sensor face recognition system can work independently of lighting conditions by utilising Infrared lighting, according to Premier Electronics.

By incorporating dsp technology, Premier says that all processing inside the unit can work uniquely as a stand alone, as well as networked system and provide fast, accurate access or time and attendance control. In the standalone version, the dual sensor is designed to store 1400 users, works with spectacles and moustaches and recognition is under one second. It can store the audit trails on a USB drive which will hold 150,000 log entries and optional image capacity over 70,000. Both systems offer Wiegand interface for controlling electronic doors and a 3.5in colour display shows a user's position. Voice prompts, with language selection, guide a user into the correct position, who can select face, card or both face and card access control. The IR system allows the reader to be used in lighting conditions of 0-5000Lux. Premier describes its 12V 500mA system as 'probably the most affordable industrial facial recognition system on the market'.
