Things to consider when buying a biometric machine
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.
How to install the biometric lock onto your door?
Biometric locks are more and more in use today. In spite of its flaws, nothing beats the
convenience it promises to its users. The users don't have to keep the keys and
stay locked out of the home if the keys are lost. Now you don't have to
remember many passwords to enter your home. What's more, you don't have to
remember one more thing: Your own fingerprint. Yes, there are burglars who are
criminals of opportunity, but the intelligent locks are invented to rob them of
such many opportunities.
Some say that the intruders often break into the house from
the back side or the windows not from the front door. They need to install the
locks on the window as well. And of course, they can be installed in the window
as well.
How to install the biometric locks on the door?
All the equipments
that you need to install the lock very much come with the package. Things like
screws and template with proper measurement are in the box already. You need a
drill as well.
It is not advisable
to install the lock yourself. You will need a carpenter to do the job for you.
There are two bodies of the lock: exterior body lock and the
interior body lock. Pass the power wires through the holes drilled already
according to the template in the picture.
Thickness is important while installing the lock. If the
thickness is not sufficient, you can add a shim plate, wooden plate to align
the parts.
Now remove the battery and install the interior lock body
onto the other side of the door. Connect the wires to the interior lock body
and install the batteries.
Issues in biometric Machines and how to fix them
People started using biometric products a lot more than they
ever did. There is still a huge market
for the products like that in Asia. The more people use biometric products, the more issues there will be. Secureye is one of very
few companies, which provides with the tutorial audio and video education for the
users about its products.
As we know that most users don't face problems with the
hardware. It is the software that trouble the
end users. A lot of brands offer in home
tutoring services and many give user manuals of the software & hardware in
the regular packaging boxes.
As soon as you insert the DVD and user manuals bundled in
the box, the software gets installed automatically on your personal computer.
Then there are videos which you can play and learn how to set up the biometric
machine.
There are the other issues which people face. E.g. when you
punch in, the sensors don't produce templates of your thumb impression.
There are a few
things you check in this case.
a. Check if you are punching in properly.
Not every machine has the feature of auto adaptive technology which allows
rotational matching of fingerprints.
b. Check if your fingerprint is enrolled at
all.
The company, Secureye,
gives you the audio-video tutorial to refer to for a proper enrolment process.
Suppose
that STF staff are camping in a forest for a few months and want to use time
and attendance machine there to motivate the military personnel to come on
time. In this case, as we know there is no network, no internet connection in
that territory. A biometric machine can
still be installed and can function well. How? Let’s see.
It can run on
battery or on electric current. Once in
a month you can plug a pen drive and upload the general logs.
The
same pen drive, you can plug in the computer with network and the software
installed on the monitor will produce the desired reports.

Compare Features: Secureye Biometric products vs other competing brands
Have you been thinking of buying biometric machines for your offices? What to buy when there are hundreds of options available in the market can puzzle anybody. So, how do we buy the other things? It is simple. Know what is that is setting that product apart from the rest. As soon as you know it very well, the problem of choice overload is solved. Is not it easy?
We also sell the biometric machines. But when the question was posed to us, we decided to do a post helping our customers avoid the problem of over choice. So how do we help our customers/you to overcome this problem? Simple: by telling what do we offer that our competitors don’t.
Let's take a look at a few models of biometric machines we are offering.
Model No:
As shown in the info graphic above, half the products are standalone and the other half are IP based biometric machines.
Now let's highlight their unique selling points that differentiate us from the other competing brands.
600DPI Optical Sensors
There is not even a single company in the Indian market, which is providing 600 DPI optical sensors in their biometric devices today. What it takes to provide the same features with the same price range is the manufacturing backed by a strong research and development team. Secureye always believes that to delight customers, you have to innovate constantly. A small visit to all the stores in any electronic market would tell you that our competitors are hundreds of DPIs behind us.
Auto Adapt Technology
The models which we displayed in the pics above are all auto-adapt technology based machines. Now there are a lot of brands in the market which claim to be providing the technology. But after your independent research, you will find actually none except Secureye is providing this technology in the biometric machines.
Now one might ask what is about. This technology.
This technology helps reduce recognition time of the biometric machine. Generally, there is a sensor in the machine which helps to recognize the fingerprint of the user. Once the sensor communicates the data captured during punch in, it matches it with the one already registered in the database.
In case someone does not punch from an appropriate angle, it fails to read the fingerprint. But it is not so in case of Secureye biometric machines.
Secureye biometric machines with the help of sensors register fingerprints from every angle possible and save them virtually for future punch-ins.
This reduces the identification time to less than a second.
Secure IP Based Biometric machines come with an inbuilt access control feature
Our Biometric machines come with an access control system. There is a diagram attached to the piece to explain how it works. The customers can combine a door lock with the attendance management system. Other brands provide separate machines for separate purposes. Lack of combination costs you more.
Battery Back Up
In case of power cut, all the models have a long battery backup of 4 hours. Not all brands out there managed to offer such a power bank when the primary source of power is unavailable.
Secureye aims to be the Apple of safety and security
There are many companies in the security market in India.
Some are a big size; the others are either medium or small size. The companies
are very well prepared to make their fortune by being the first mover of the
security sector. The management of those companies has a lot of depth and had
shown tremendous business acumen in building such vibrant companies. All of
them are sure to leave their mark on the story of the new India. Secureye is one
such great company that has an international presence in the security and
safety sector. With the cost-conscious managers coupled with their superb capital
allocation ability, the company bagged some of the hottest projects in India.
There are not many companies in industrial automation and
control in India and in so many other developing countries. That is why
companies like Secureye find themselves in a good place. As there are very limited numbers of players
in the market with the same products, the company can raise the price of its
offerings and fatten its profit margin. The management says that one of the
reasons why they call Secureye a financially very sound company is the ability
to raise its price.
Some Main Offerings by Secureye...
If you find it difficult to motivate executives in your
organization to come on time without your HR calling them and pressing them
every day, you should read this section. The biometric devices are not just to
be picturized in James Bond movies. They have moved into general commerce.
Almost every company installed them already. The machines add a lot of value by
recording time of arrival and identifying every executive by his/her personal
characteristics. Much has been said and
written about their utility, but nothing beats its use in preventing identity
theft in the business.
If you are fed up with the fuzzy images sent by your CCTV cameras, you better consider Secureye IP-based CCTV cameras to relieve you a
bit. Contrary to regular CCTV
cameras, IP-based cameras provide you better image quality and more field of
view. High-resolution picture quality
with a pan-tilt-zoom camera following a moving object, your facility of virtual
patrolling can surprise you.
One of the striking features which might surprise you is its
cost-effectiveness. One might say how it is possible its price is higher than a
regular CCTV.
As mentioned earlier, the field of view of an IP-based camera is far greater than the regular camera. It means that even after its
higher price, less number of cameras dare required during installation. And the
overall cost would nosedive.
In times of tough completion, the information related to
your strategy or the next competitive move in the market is critical. If your
competitor somehow lays his hands on the highly sensitive data, it can decide
your fate. Realizing the value of this fact, Secureye came up with an advanced
access control system that keeps unauthorized access at bay. It is a smart
access control compared to keyed entry.
