Palm Vein Face Access Control FR05P

The Palm Vein Face Access Control FR05P is a biometric access control and time attendance terminal that leverages both palm vein and facial recognition technology for secure and convenient identification. It is designed for various applications, including commercial buildings, offices, hospitals, schools, and factories.

Here is a breakdown of its typical features and characteristics, based on available information (specifically referencing the HFSecurity FR05P, which seems to be a common model with this designation):

Key Features:

• Multi-Biometric Authentication: The primary selling point is its ability to use both palm vein recognition and visible light facial recognition. This offers a high level of security and flexibility.¹

• Palm Vein Recognition: This technology scans the unique pattern of veins inside a person's palm using near-infrared light.² It's highly secure as vein patterns are internal, difficult to forge, and generally remain stable throughout a person's life. It's also contactless and hygienic. The FR05P often boasts fast recognition speeds for palm veins (e.g., 0.35 to 0.8 seconds).

• Face Recognition: Utilizes a camera to capture and analyze facial features. Many modern systems, like the FR05P, use "visible light facial recognition" and may include anti-spoofing algorithms to prevent fraud using photos or videos. Some models also offer masked individual identification.

• Multiple Verification Methods: Beyond palm vein and face recognition, these devices typically support other methods like:

  • Fingerprint (optional on some models)

  • RFID Card (ID or IC/MF card, often with 125KHz built-in and 13.56MHz optional)

  • Password

  • Combinations of the above (e.g., Face + Card)

• Large Capacity: The FR05P models generally offer substantial storage for user data:

  • Face Capacity: Often around 6,000 to 50,000 users.

  • Palm Template Capacity: Can be up to 3,000 to 10,000 templates.

  • Card Capacity: Up to 10,000 cards.

  • Transaction Records: Can store hundreds of thousands of logs.

• Touch Screen Display: Features a 5-inch (or sometimes 8-inch) LCD touch screen for user interaction, configuration, and display of information.

• Operating System: Often runs on Android (e.g., Android 9, Android 11) or Linux, providing a stable and adaptable platform.

• Connectivity: Supports various communication methods for integration with existing networks and systems:

  • TCP/IP (Ethernet)

  • Wi-Fi (2.4G, sometimes 5G)

  • RS485

  • Wiegand input/output (for connecting to third-party access control panels)

  • USB

  • Optional 4G

• Access Control Functions: Includes standard access control features like:

  • Electric lock control (3rd party electric lock)

  • Door sensor input

  • Exit button input

  • Alarm output

  • Anti-passback

  • Access levels and groups

  • Holiday settings

  • Tamper switch alarm

• Time Attendance Features: Designed for efficient employee time management:

  • Automatic recording of entry/exit times.

  • Support for various clock-in/out functions.

  • Often comes with free cloud-based time attendance software or web-based management software for reports and analytics.

• Hygienic and Contactless: The contactless nature of palm vein and visible light face recognition makes it a hygienic choice, especially relevant in environments where minimizing contact is important.

• Anti-Spoofing: Incorporates algorithms to detect and prevent spoofing attempts (e.g., using photos, videos, or 3D masks).

• Applications: Suitable for a wide range of environments, including:

  • Offices and corporate buildings

  • Hospitals and healthcare facilities

  • Factories and industrial parks

  • Schools and campuses

  • Commercial real estate

  • Construction sites

  • Public areas

Benefits:

• High Security: Palm vein patterns are considered one of the most secure biometric identifiers due to their internal nature and complexity.

• Convenience: Touchless and fast authentication provides a seamless user experience.

• Hygiene: Eliminates the need for physical contact with the device, reducing germ transmission.

• Accuracy: High recognition rates and low error probabilities.

• Versatility: Multiple authentication methods and comprehensive access control/time attendance functions.

• Fraud Prevention: Advanced anti-spoofing technology enhances security.

Considerations (General for this type of technology):

• Cost: Biometric systems, especially those combining advanced technologies like palm vein and face recognition, can be more expensive than basic card or PIN-based systems.

• Privacy Concerns: Storing biometric data requires careful consideration of privacy regulations and data security.

• Database Management: For large organizations, managing a significant database of biometric templates requires robust software and IT infrastructure.

• Environmental Factors: While modern systems are designed to be robust, extreme lighting conditions or rapid changes in appearance (for facial recognition) could potentially affect performance, though these are largely mitigated in current devices.

It is recommended to consult with suppliers like HFSecurity or other biometric solution providers to discuss specific model variations, pricing, and integration options for your particular needs.
