Sheger

Biometric Access Control

Access by identity.

Identity-based access technology for controlled entrances, using fingerprint, facial recognition or iris recognition systems where they fit the property's requirements.

Professional Biometric Solutions

Identify users through biometrics.

Biometric access control uses physical characteristics to identify users rather than relying solely on traditional keys, cards, fobs or PINs.

Sheger provides biometric access control as part of its broader door access-control services throughout the GTA.

The appropriate biometric solution depends on the property, entrance, users and access requirements.

01 Fingerprint Fingerprint scanners identify users based on their fingerprints.
02 Facial Recognition Facial characteristics form part of the user-identification process.
03 Iris Recognition Iris characteristics provide another biometric approach.
Understanding Biometrics

What is biometric access?

Biometric access control is an electronic access method that uses a person's physical characteristics as part of the identification process.

Rather than presenting a card, carrying a fob or entering a PIN, an authorized user can be identified using a biometric characteristic supported by the installed system.

The appropriate technology depends on the requirements of the property and the particular entrance.

01 Fingerprint Recognition Identity-based entry using a fingerprint scanner.
02 Facial Recognition Facial characteristics used as part of user identification.
03 Iris Recognition Identification using characteristics of the eye's iris.
04 Identity-Based Entry An alternative approach to traditional credentials.
Fingerprint Access Control

Entry through fingerprint identity.

Fingerprint access provides identity-based entry using a fingerprint scanner. It can be considered for commercial environments where users need controlled access and fingerprint identification is preferred.

Staff Entrances Controlled access for authorized staff.
Restricted Areas Identity-based access for designated restricted spaces.
Commercial Offices Fingerprint access can be considered for selected office entrances.
Controlled Rooms Biometric identification for selected controlled areas.
Professional Facilities Another approach to identity-based controlled entry.
Facial & Iris Recognition

More ways to identify the authorized user.

Facial recognition systems use facial characteristics as part of the user- identification process. They can be considered for selected commercial and professional applications where this method fits the property's requirements.

Iris recognition uses characteristics of the iris as part of the identification process, providing another biometric approach for controlled access.

01 Facial Recognition Facial characteristics form part of user identification.
02 Iris Recognition Iris characteristics provide another biometric approach.
03 Selected Applications Technology should fit the property's particular requirements.
04 Entrance Requirements The entrance and system need to be considered together.
Choosing The Right System

The right biometric depends on the entrance.

Biometric access control is not automatically the right choice for every entrance. Several factors should be considered before selecting a biometric system.

01
How the Entrance Is Used
02
Who Needs Access
03
Type of Biometric Identification
04
Existing Door & Hardware
05
Property Requirements
06
Other Access Methods
Biometric & Commercial Doors

The biometric device is part of the entrance.

A biometric scanner is only one part of a controlled entrance. The complete entrance may include the door, hardware, access-control equipment and additional entrance components.

01 Metal Doors
02 Aluminum Doors
03 Wooden Doors
04 Glass Doors
05 Swing Doors
06 Automatic Door Closers
07 Accessibility Hardware
Benefits Of Biometric Access

Identity-based access for selected entrances.

01 Identity-Based Entry Physical characteristics form part of the user-identification process.
02 No Traditional Key Required Biometric access provides an alternative to traditional key-based entry.
03 No Physical Credential at the Entrance Depending on the system, users can be identified without presenting a card or fob.
04 Multiple Biometric Options Fingerprint, facial recognition and iris recognition options.
05 Selected Controlled Entrances Biometric access can be considered where identity-based access fits the requirements.
06 Broader Access Control Strategy Biometric access can be considered alongside card, fob and keypad systems.
Compare Access Methods

Biometric, card or keypad? Match the method to the entrance.

01 Biometric Access Uses physical characteristics such as fingerprints, facial recognition or iris recognition. Potentially suitable where identity-based access is preferred.
02 Card & Fob Access Uses an assigned card or fob at an access reader. Potentially suitable where users are provided physical credentials.
03 Keypad Access Uses a PIN or access code at the entrance. Potentially suitable where code-based access is preferred.

There is no single access method that is universally appropriate. The right approach depends on the property's requirements and how each entrance is used.

Installation Process

From entrance assessment to completed installation.

01
Understand the Entrance Understand the property, entrance and how authorized users need to access the space.
02
Consider the Biometric Method Determine whether fingerprint, facial recognition or iris recognition is appropriate for the entrance.
03
Coordinate With the Door Consider the biometric system alongside the existing or planned door and related hardware.
04
Complete the Installation Install the selected biometric equipment as part of the access-control setup.
05
Review the Finished Entrance Review the completed installation against the requirements of the project.

Frequently Asked

Biometric access questions.

Biometric access control uses physical characteristics such as fingerprints, facial recognition or iris recognition as part of the process of identifying users at a controlled entrance.

Sheger provides fingerprint scanners, facial recognition systems and iris recognition systems.

Not necessarily. The appropriate access method depends on the property, entrance, users and access requirements.

Potentially. The existing door, hardware and entrance configuration need to be considered before determining the appropriate installation approach.

Different entrances can use different access methods when the property's overall access-control requirements call for it.

Yes. Different access methods can be considered across a property depending on the requirements of individual entrances.

Yes. Sheger provides commercial door installation as well as access-control services, allowing the physical entrance and biometric system to be considered together.
