4. Face Recognition vs. Access Cards

If you are concerned about facial recognition being circumvented using photographs, you should consider the alternative, which is generally access cards. Both technologies provide a simple barrier to access so that only people who should have access can clock in and clock out, and also help you record who has clocked in/out and to examine this later by viewing an audit trail.

But neither technology is perfect: access cards are particularly problematic because they can be:

  • Lent to friends.
  • ‘Borrowed’ from desks.
  • Permanently lost or stolen.
  • Easily and cheaply duplicated.

‍

In short, access cards tell you absolutely nothing about who gained access.
