Why Should You Use A Biometric Mobile Phone Access Control System?

Using scanners, the biometric access control systems verify the people’s identity by measuring specific physiological characteristics. The access control systems, more frequently are using stored biometric data in the stored personal devices for verifying identity. They are both safe and convenient. At the same time, they even work by providing the most valuable data, that till now had not been surrendered.



What is Meant by Biometrics Access Control?

Unique biometric data is beneficial to the people to gain access to the areas either much difficult to be copied or information might be faked. Keys can be copied, pins might be shared - but accessing someone’s fingerprint is slightly difficult and to get it done, one has to be ready for prison days.

Till now, we have all been concerned regarding giving up our data, and biometrics have been active just in high-risk environments. Nevertheless, the COVID19 pandemic has brought about a change in our feelings towards what should and for what can our data be used. Therefore, biometric systems are widely accepted in low-risk environments.

Biometric systems are commonly been implemented in the healthcare, banking and education sectors. The biometric control systems contain principal elements, which include -

Biometric Readers - Readers and Scanners

Door Controllers - Controls and powers every access control device at doors

Electronic or Wireless Locks - Secures, locks and unlocks the doors

Control Software - Includes event and security management, mobile and web apps, and reporting

To Phones From the Fingerprints

The biometric systems have been widely accepted, but the pandemic did render certain biometric technologies suboptimal. For instance, fingerprint scanners need direct physical contact linked to the spread of microbial pathogens. This is the specific area that has to be avoided due to the pandemic effect.

Even technology has been shifted – we are now in the mobile-first world. Principally, mobile access control systems use a mobile phone, but now wearables and tables are being used for requesting and gaining access to secured networks, doors and gates. When someone has to enter a building and has been authorized for doing so, they need not have to enter their biometric information directly into a reader.

How Does the Mobile Access Control System Function?

The modern-day generation data readers are equipped with Bluetooth and Near Field Communication technology, and so have the access control systems been upgraded. SignoTMreader functioning together with HD Mobile Acess® Technology is the most common example of the present-day market. The biometric mobile phone access control functions in this way -

1. A mobile device is sending an open signal to the reader.

2. The biometric data on the mobile device conducts verification of the person.

3. The reader then sends an encrypted digital credential to the access control database.

4. This very credential is then verified.

5. Through the access control system, the individual is granted access.

The Four Chief Benefits of the Mobile Biometric Access Control

i. Hygiene Maintenance

The risk of dangerous pathogen spread will be stopped as there will be no need to touch a device physically.

ii. Better Convenience

With mobile devices, access to be granted is more convenient – pins need not be remembered, spare keys need not be kept, no need to be tensed of the access cards.

iii.  Greater Efficiency

Through Cloud, access can be either granted or annulled. Since access control service providers are offering subscription billing, so the companies can scale up or down according to business needs.

iv. More Security

Using mobile access control systems as a part of the integrated security systems is the secure way for assigning access to people at the building's specific areas, other than security codes or traditional cards. Access is remotely granted through a cloud platform that further allows permission to be instantaneously and remotely given just through a few clicks on the user's phone.

With the mobile phone access control being in use,  the positive secondary effect is the third party readers need not ever be given access to biometric data – everything will be in phones. The users'  data will be protected by advanced technology.

Doing away with the old access control systems is the right time for installing access control systems, and installing the access control systems using the consumer devices with the in-built built biometric technology. As the systems have to be more efficient in the mobile-first world, this method is more convenient, efficient and above all provides a high-security level to the organization.
