The Benefits of Facial Recognition for School Security and Beyond

With the advancements in Artificial Intelligence and machine learning, technology has come a long way, and it is constantly affecting the devices we use every day, particularly in places like schools. A simple example of an AI application in schools would be facial recognition technology. 

Face detection systems distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar faces by comparing a person’s facial features with the reference images already stored in the database. Perhaps you already use this technology to unlock your phone, but you can also add it to your school with much more advanced capabilities. 

Read on to discover how adding this feature to your school in Amarillo, TX, can improve security and more.

Implements Access Control 

Access control is an excellent way to heighten school security. And when you add facial recognition, access control automatically becomes more robust. 

The system scans the facial features of a person, measuring the distance between the eyes and the shape of the nose. If the features match the images stored in the database, access is granted; if not, it keeps the doors locked. 

Access control is a fast and accurate way to authorize access to students and employees. And most of all, it helps keep all unwanted visitors out. 

At the same time, you can also store images of expelled or terminated employees in the database. If they try to enter the campus, AI video analytics quickly recognize them as potential threats and dispatch a security alert, allowing you to take action accordingly. 

Makes Attendance Tracking Effortless

Besides its application in access control, face detection can also be used to mark attendance. As soon as a student or teacher’s face is scanned, their attendance is marked, which eliminates the need for manual work. The administrative team can also generate payroll faster as all late arrivals and absences for staff members can be easily recorded. 

A Touchless and Keyless Solution 

Unlike other forms of access control, face detection is a keyless solution where nobody has to worry about losing their keycards. Their facial features become the key needed to unlock the door. This also prevents misuse of lost and stolen keycards. 

At the same time, it is also a touchless solution, so students and staff won’t need to remember passwords and PIN codes. And most of all, it ensures they do not contract diseases from one another, making it a much safer option, both for security and health.
