Much like something you\u2019d see in a Hollywood sci-fi flick, biometrics verifies a person\u2019s identity by scanning a fingerprint. Although, in those types of films, a determined criminal would normally hack a staff member\u2019s hand off to circumvent the security.<\/p>\n<p>While this is unlikely to happen in Dundee or Dagenham, alternatives gaining more press are retina or iris scanning. This involves personnel having their eyes scanned to validate identity. It may sound unnecessarily histrionic, but this type of technology is actually becoming increasingly commonplace.<\/p><div class=\"cb7893cca652c40442fc9786b3b91706\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:10px 0 10px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/contact\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/digital-marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2022\/11\/Dr-Prem-Digital-Healthcare-Web-Development.jpg\" alt=\"Dr Prem Web Design and Development\"><\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10419\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2014\/07\/dfegrht.jpg\" alt=\"dfegrht\" width=\"600\" height=\"509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/ai-marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2014\/07\/dfegrht.jpg 600w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/ai-marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2014\/07\/dfegrht-300x254.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Voice Recognition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve ever used Siri on your iPhone, you\u2019ll understand that voice recognition can have its drawback, particularly if you have a strong accent \u2013 but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sourcesecurity.com\/news\/articles\/co-3108-ga.4100.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">contemporary voice recognition systems<\/a> for access control have advanced to a point of real dependability.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s understandable that your employees may feel a bit self-conscious barking instructions to a faceless guard, but the security benefits it offers your business cannot be overstated, with the technology employed set to get even better.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-10421\" src=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2014\/07\/187830664.jpg\" alt=\"187830664\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drprem.com\/ai-marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2014\/07\/187830664.jpg 600w, https:\/\/drprem.com\/ai-marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/28\/2014\/07\/187830664-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Smartphone Entry<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s safe to say that the world and his wife possess a smartphone \u2013 even your mum probably has one.
