Biometric Time Clock
As the Human Genome Project is slowly reaching towards project realization, so does the DNA strand is slowly being used as high end identification data. Biometrics is among the more recent overdrives of America. In the pursuit for the most secure system, private companies and several key government institutions had begun using biometric data as the focal point for any individual's identification.
Though riddled with several concerns during its inception to the public, the biometric integration to security applications is truly needed. Because even with the incident where the ease of defeating a fingerprint door lock by a team of myth busters* became a public outcry, biometric systems still affords more security potential than most conventional identification processes. Fortunately, today's emergent technology allows for more complicated processes than the breached fingerprint door lock system, and related feats will be highly improbable in the face of most biometric systems today.
The Acroprint HandPunch 3000 is a leading example of a biometric system that can square off on the most dedicated biometric security buster. This biometric time clock do not check fingerprints and punch prints, instead its recognition procedure checks on the actual shape and size of the hand, making falsification a harder venture to take. It is at $1,885 though and it makes the Acroprint biometric time clock a costly expenditure on most consumers.
Despite that myth buster exhibition, biometric time clocks featuring fingerprint access still provides great potential in integrity and security, especially on businesses. These biometric time clocks provide more warranted boons than unwarranted fears of security overriding. Why? Simply because forging and defeating biometric time clocks still involves complex procedures; especially in replicating fingerprint data where data farming (in this event fingerprint data) is already a major obstacle. Logically no one wishes to readily hand a fingerprint data, and that makes it a hard venture. Strewn fingerprints on glass and smooth surfaces may look cool on movies but in actuality farming fingerprints by that means isn't feasible.
Biometric time clocks that feature fingerprint checks plus a series of keypad entries is still a viable option for small to medium size businesses. They are reasonably price and they provide biometric technology, the most secure system in existence today. Plus having all the necessary features that are common in most automated time clocks is realistic expenditure.
Lathem TouchStation Biometric Time Clock is a fingerprint scanning time clock. Punch in of employees is only done by putting a finger on the fingerprint reader. After a successful reading, the LED indicator lights up to indicate good punch. But unlike the defeated door lock, this biometric time clock doesn't read the actual fingerprint. Instead, it reads the electrical differences created between the skin's ridges and valleys.
