As a continuously growing trend in the security and access control space, biometrics is among the strongest form of user credentials. Biometrics use unique biological characteristics or measurements to validate and confirm a users identity and within access control, the permissions and credentials to enter a designated space. It is a stronger, more secure version of access control than traditional keycards and pin codes, which can be stolen or shared with unauthorized users.

The use of biometric technology has been on the rise for quite some time. Given the state of the world in 2020, the need for physical distancing and contactless credentials has pushed rapid growth in the adoption of these devices in facilities. Let's take a look at some of the trends our industry is seeing within the biometrics market:

As we navigate reopening our facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic, Low Voltage Solutions has put together an Elevated Body Temperature (EBT) Detection solution using thermal imaging technology based on the CDC, HHS, and OSHA’s recommendations to help our customers resume operations in a safe, effective manner.

As the pandemic continues to change the way our facilities operate, protecting employees, assets, and facilities has never been more critical. No matter what vertical your facility is in – education, healthcare, etc., it is essential to have a plan put together to keep society functioning as safe and efficient as possible.
