A scenario as above picture described happened in Hangzhou City days ago , the door would be accessed successfully only while the lady grin happily after her getting off work and reached her house. A frown face or poker face can not be identified only except her grinning even when she was exhaust terribly ,it was found by the lady till day.?It is a good idea and design on what smart access control terminal require sweet smile or grin who focusing on camera then can be accessed . Leave all unpleasant in your workshop and bring happiness home .Here is the access key to go home-SMILE .
?This story tells us that face recognition technology and application have already involved in people’s daily life under the background of new time of Internet of Things ( IoT ).
?How Powerful the Face Recognition?Is ?
On June 6, 2020, the Financial Times reported that Microsoft quietly deleted the MS Celeb facial recognition database, which Microsoft said was the largest public facial recognition database in the world. This news caused an uproar in the world, will the intelligent face recognition industry be gone forever? Exactly not, the process of development of anything is bound to be a tortuous rise. Microsoft is just a company with a regional ideology. This decision has instead brought the emerging industry of face recognition to everyone, and it will definitely become an indispensable part of daily life in the future. And intelligent face recognition also provides convenience for the current epidemic. The access control system we often use avoids direct contact between people, reduces the occurrence of unstable factors, and also actively responds to epidemic prevention and maintains people's lives.
?But any product that changes people's daily behavior is inseparable from the support of technological innovation. In this world where information technology is rapidly updated and potential threats are constantly changing, smart access control can be said to be a product of the times - the interconnection of everything, making the access control system a presence beyond security and a wider range of application scenarios; artificial intelligence blessing enables access control Self-learning and self-thinking; biometric identification allows users to free their hands and become a pass in itself.
?So how should smart access control surpass security?in the new era, to meet future needs, to?display?more value??
I.?Facial Recognition needs Becoming More Secure Surely
The advantages of smart access control are obvious, such as increasing convenience and realizing the diversification of verification methods: in real life, face recognition, mobile phone replacement of access control cards, etc. have brought great convenience to users; at the same time, the new development of intelligent access control has also The security also has a new technical guarantee. Taking face recognition as an example, it can effectively identify the identity and prevent the occurrence of card punching and card theft. But on the other hand, compared with traditional access control, there are also new security risks in the upgrade of human-computer interaction experience, such as face recognition data being cracked, and face similarity mistakenly released. Therefore, in the deployment of access control solutions, manufacturers must grasp the balance between convenience and security. Once the balance is out of balance, there will be security risks.
?Face recognition is a trend, and it is also a bright spot and trend in smart access control at present. As the technology matures, the cost of face recognition equipment continues to drop, even slowly approaching the cost of fingerprint recognition equipment. In some public areas, such as schools, park entrances and exits, for the convenience of fast passage, the verification method of pure face recognition can be adopted.

?However, in key places, it is recommended to use a hybrid verification method, such as face + card or face + password composite verification. When providing products and design solutions, access control manufacturers should recommend different verification combinations based on the actual use scenarios and purposes of users. In general, smart access control solutions still need to maintain a certain balance in terms of convenience and security.
?At present, the security of face recognition has been relatively high. It is basically inadvisable to use high-precision printing of photos/videos/3D masks to replace faces and other attack methods. Face recognition equipment can detect living bodies through various technical means, such as binocular cameras, 3D structured light, etc., to effectively identify fake faces.
II. Face Recognition Becoming More Intelligent
With the development of artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, cloud computing and other technologies, the access control market has brought opportunities for integration and development, and the intelligent access control system can be well integrated with other business systems. For example, in combination with its biometric feature data, among many security subsystems, the access control system maintains the most complete personnel data. These data can be used in the personnel system. When employees enter and leave the company, they can connect with the access control system to reduce manual operations. In terms of energy conservation and emission reduction, when all employees leave work, the access control system can make the first judgment. Mode, push data to the building control system to automatically turn off lights and air conditioners; the data pool formed by access control can also create a smart conference room. After employees reserve a conference room, they can enter the conference room by swiping their faces or swiping their cards, and the related equipment in the conference room is automatically powered on. , At the same time, if no one enters within a certain period of time after the reservation, the conference room will be automatically released, and other people can continue to make reservations to use the conference room resources more effectively.
III. Do Not Forget?The Original Intention And Live Up To The Future
?The most fundamental purpose of access control is to ensure the safety of users. When choosing an intelligent access control system, we cannot ignore the necessary condition of security. Strengthening the intelligent linkage between various security systems, providing users with as simple, convenient and intuitive operation interface as possible, reducing personnel and training costs, is the development direction of the access control industry and the entire security industry.
