There are many things which one should consider before buying
a biometric system. When I browsed the topic, I didn't find a single post
cautioning the prospects. Surprising to us!
We decided to educate the potential clients of biometric machines.
1.The first
thing any prospect buyer should take into account is the scale to accommodate future business growth. We all know that all
businesses grow overtime. If your company outgrows your current system, you will
have to migrate to a new system. This unnecessary costs you more money and
disruption.
2. User capacity varies from
one model to the other. We, at Secureye, provide 500 to 9000 user capacity
range. By user capacity, we mean the number of users can be enrolled in the
biometric machine. Of course, keep in mind the future strength of your
organization in a decade, because lifespan of a biometric system stretches
seven to ten years at least.
3. User capacity is of three types: Fingerprint based, card based and password based.
Generally, all these three types are equally distributed. For example a
9000 user capacity is divided equally amongst finger based, card based and
password based technologies. You can choose the configuration best fits your
business need.
Consider if the biometric machine is fingerprint based, or
card based. Generally, card-based biometric machine doesn’t cost you a few
hundred more rupees. So don't hesitate to buy a card-based machine if there are
senior citizens employed in your company. They lose their fingerprints with old
age. Save them from any kind of embarrassment.
4. Sensors are not a
problem with the biometric machine. There are LED lights in various colors. You
can switch between red, green and blue LED. LED lights and sensors don't prove
to be the selling point. As long as the sensors in your biometric system read
your fingerprints, it is fine. Keep it on by default mode. If you want it
should allow you to adjust brightness of the LED.
A lot of people like it when their biometric machine goes
well with the physical environment. So no problem if you buy a biometric
machine that compliments your office setting and doesn't look out of place.
