Facial Recognition technology, a key offering from RecFaces, a tech innovation-centered Facial Biometrics provider, has been successfully applied at critical infrastructure transportation hubs in some of the largest cities in the Asia-Pacific, South America, and the Middle East. These Facial Recognition solutions are known for their specialized plug-in integration with the Pelco VideoXpert video management system, providing real-time subway and airport security to protect citizens from those with harmful intentions at these crucial infrastructure points. The adaptability of these solutions makes them easy to implement and highly effective for businesses seeking a fully digitalized private security solution to protect staff, offices, warehouses, and server rooms.
Additionally, RecFaces has officially unveiled its flagship Facial Recognition software products, Id-Guard, which are designed for facial recognition using the video stream. This innovative technology enables businesses and corporate enterprises to safeguard their staff, business premises, and sensitive data and technology from intruders or unauthorized users. The deployment of Id-Guard marks a significant advancement in the field of security and privacy, providing a robust and reliable tool for organizational security.
Among the actively used functions are the identification of high-risk (or previously digitally blacklisted individuals) in the video stream, instant notification to security officers, searches by photo and verbal description, as well as a light-touch functional analysis of visitor statistics for commercial purposes. For instance, this data capture can be used to target digital billboard ads at stations relevant to passengers during specific times of the day, based on the number of service users within the most significant age demographic for that time.
Protect Your Business, Premises, and Staff with Facial Biometric Security
RecFaces recently participated in the Thailand Smart City Expo 2023 held at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center to raise awareness of the importance of safeguarding personal private data in the era of AI and ubiquitous cameras. The Expo featured conferences and seminars on "Smart and Safe Life with AI," "Building Resilient Smart Cities," and "Smart KPI." RecFaces' facial recognition technology, which has been adopted by private enterprises and authorities worldwide, serves as a valuable tool in protecting the cities of tomorrow that enhance people's lives and secure citizens' privacy.
"We take pride in every project our partners undertake, especially when we receive positive feedback from our customers each year," said Valeria Lapteva, Business Development Director, APAC Region. "Our software not only operates reliably at critical infrastructure facilities but also features its own self-learning system. In other words, identification accuracy improves over time, and our technical support remotely addresses operational issues as they arise."
What does Facial Biometrics or Facial Recognition software actually do?
Facial Biometrics or Facial Recognition software is a technology that identifies or verifies individuals based on their unique facial features. It captures and analyses facial characteristics, allowing for secure access control, identity verification, and other applications. Here's a breakdown of what it does:
Identification and Verification: Facial Recognition technology captures an image or video of a person's face, extracts key features (such as the distance between the eyes or the shape of the nose), and compares these features to a database of known faces. It can either identify a person by matching them to a specific individual in the database or verify their identity by confirming that they match the stored data.
Access Control: It is commonly used in access control systems, where individuals are granted or denied access to specific areas based on their facial identity. This is often seen in corporate environments, server rooms, laboratories, or other secure locations.
Security: Facial recognition enhances security by monitoring and identifying individuals in various settings, including public surveillance. It can help track potential threats or suspicious activities.
User-Friendly: Modern facial recognition technology is designed to be user-friendly and easily integrated with existing information systems. It streamlines operations, enhances productivity, and can be implemented quickly.
Regarding the Protection of Personal Data
Data Ownership: The data captured by facial biometric systems is typically owned and managed by the business using the technology, not the provider of the software or security tool. This ensures that the responsibility for data privacy lies with the entity that collects and stores the data.
Privacy Assurance: Reputable facial recognition providers, like RecFaces, prioritise data privacy and security. They do not record or retain citizen data on their systems. This means that individuals using services can trust that their data is handled appropriately and securely.
Valeria Lapteva, leading the RecFaces team during their visit to Thailand, emphasised the importance of improving security for businesses in Thailand, especially those needing to protect sensitive data or create safe environments, such as hospitals and schools.
