Software House, part of the Security Products business unit of Tyco, the fire protection and security multi-national, has integrated the Stone Lock Pro Biometric Facial Recognition reader from CoprometroUSA with its C•CURE 9000 security and event management product (versions 2.20 and higher).
Stone Lock Pro is an infrared biometric facial recognition device, designed for access control applications. The combined solution is the companies say for critical security situations, including campuses, prisons, military bases, and financial and corporate institutions where a PIN or password alone isn’t enough. Through the integration with C•CURE 9000, users have only one staff database to manage, saving time and reducing problems with duplicate entries and errors, it’s claimed.
Rafael Schrijvers, Product Marketing Manager for Access Control, EMEA, Tyco Security Products, said: “In the most critical security situations, common bad practices such as weak PINs, code sharing, and propping doors make multi-modal verification at the door a requirement. We’ve taken an innovative, highly reliable facial biometric device and paired it with our cutting-edge C•CURE 9000 access control solution to create a highly effective, easy-to-manage solution built on the power of our Connected Program integration platform.
Using the C•CURE 9000 interface, security staff can create a Stone Lock Pro user, pair it with a staff record and credential, and capture facial data remotely from any Stone Lock Pro device within the network. Once enrolled, users present their credential and face the device for scanning and authentication. Stone Lock Pro, a modular unit with a built-in keypad and HID iCLASS® SE reader, can scan and plot more than 2000 facial points in less than a second, according to the makers. Visit www.swhouse.com.
