FACIAL RECOGNITION: SECURITY SYSTEM OF THE FUTURE? The Benefits and Drawbacks of Using Your Face as a Key
Can you imagine a future where the only key you need throughout your day is your face?
however. For instance, it has yet to be 100% accurate in its recognition abilities, which means some sort of backup method is needed to get into your home. It also can’t be as easily changed as say, a password or a key. Those things can be replaced, but your face cannot. Finally, the means by which some companies have mined for facial recognition data, namely through social media sites without users’ consent, has raised ethical concerns about the further development of facial recognition technology. THE FUTURE Though applications for facial recognition will certainly exist in the years to come, it’s probably safe to assume we’ll continue to need other, more traditional security systems for our homes and businesses. If you ever need to rekey your home or install a security system at your place of business, you can always rely on the experts at Pop- A-Lock to keep you and yours safe.

That may seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, but over the past few years, facial recognition technology has evolved significantly — albeit with a few drawbacks. Could having our face as our password and key be the next step forward for residential and commercial security? THE BENEFITS While facial recognition is a common feature on many smartphones today, securing homes and offices with facial recognition isn’t quite as common. However, some facial recognition security systems are boasting some major features. The FL1000 from ZKTeco can recognize a face within just 0.2 seconds. The Corum Security CS-100 utilizes infrared technology to recognize faces even in dim and dark conditions. With these features, you can be in and out of the door quicker than you would be with any sort of key, at any time of day.
THE DRAWBACKS There are a few reasons why facial recognition technology hasn’t simply taken home and office security by storm,

THIS MONTH’S EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT
JEREMY NOLTE
Car Door Unlocking Technicians meet customers during a very stressful time of their day, which means their customer service skills have to be top notch. That’s why Jeremy Nolte, who came to us with several years of management experience in the food service industry, has become such an asset to our company. When Jeremy was searching for a new job around 6–7 months ago, his brother Neil, who also works at Pop-A-Lock, told him about a CDU position that had recently opened. Jeremy got the job, and he’s been happy to learn all there is to know about unlocking car doors ever since. When he’s not unlocking car doors or helping around the office, Jeremy spends most of his time with his wife, three kids, and two high-energy dogs.
If he has any downtime besides that, though, he prefers to spend it doing things that help him relax, like drawing or playing video games.
