Biometric Solutions
Biometric solutions can be classified into two groups, based on the their biometric factor type
Based on a physiological factor, examples are fingerprint recognition and iris recognition
Based on a behavioral factor, examples are voice pattern recognition and keystroke dynamics
There are many factors which can in theory be used as a biometric solution to be applied for authentication or identification. For such a factor to be suitable, it must meet the following criteria:

• Universality - The biometric factor must be something everyone possesses.
• Exclusivity - The factor should be able to separate one individual from another. The process must be possible and not overly expensive.
• Perpetuity - How well the biometric factor resists the effect of time.
• Collectability - It should be possible and not overly expensive or time consuming to measure the factor.
• Adequacy - Biometrics is not always very well accepted. This is generally dependent on people's view is on how invasive a certain technique is.
• Evasion - How easily the biometric factor can be imitated.
• Performance - The speed, the accuracy and the robustness

Examples

• Fingerprint recognition
• Eye recognition
• Face recognition
• Voice recognition

Biometric Applications
Biometrics can be applied for authentication - verifying that a person is who he claims to be - and for identification - determining who the person is based on the measured biometric factor. Any application requiring authentication or identification can make use of biometrics. Few examples are:

• Time attendance systems
• Access control to computer systems or portable media
• Physical access control
• Loyalty card or other customer systems

The main reasons to go for biometrics are to increase security while decreasing the burden of keeping keys, remembering passwords, etc.

CCTV Cameras
Closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras produce images or recordings for surveillance purposes and can be either video cameras or digital stills cameras.

Types of CCTV Cameras

• Analogue
• Digital Video Cameras
• Network/IP
• Digital Still Cameras
