HID has introduced HID Amico biometric facial recognition readers—designed to address the growing demand for secure contactless access.
Leveraging NIST tested facial recognition technology, HID Amico reduces unauthorised access risks and offering real-time identity verification and is ideal for mid-sized organisations.
“Around the world, biometric technologies are gaining momentum as organisations prioritise stronger security and more seamless access control,” Cristian Cotiga, Vice President of Product Management for Physical Access Control Systems at HID. “We are excited to deliver solutions like HID Amico to help our customers enhance both security and operational efficiency.”
Benefits of the readers are listed as:
Accurate recognition: HID Amico offers accurate facial recognition, minimising delays and false rejections for smooth, frustration-free access.
Versatile access options: With five authentication methods – face, card, PIN, QR code, and HID Mobile Access® technology – the reader offers flexibility, allowing users to choose the most convenient and secure way to access their spaces.
Fast and reliable access: Designed for high-traffic environments, HID Amico delivers rapid recognition without compromising security, keeping entry points efficient and bottleneck-free in workplaces, schools, and other busy locations.
Security and privacy-first design: HID Amico meets applicable privacy and security controls, in line with best practices and regulatory requirements. In addition, HID Amico offers an optional Template on Card, where biometric data is securely stored on the user’s credential rather than in a centralised database.
