Videx Security has introduced a new biometric access control kit that uses finger print recognition to control access into and around residential and commercial properties. The new FPK1 standalone kit includes everything needed for a simple, easy to install system for up to 50 people using finger print recognition to control access.

The FPK1 system is ideal for effective access control within buildings such as schools, hospitals, medical facilities and sheltered accommodation. Such systems are also ideal for where individual access management is a priority such as membership schemes within gyms, libraries, leisure facilities and caravan parks.

eil Thomas, National Sales Manager, Videx said: “There are three means of authentication when controlling access: something you know, such as a PIN code entered at a coded entry keypad, something you have, such as a proximity card or fob and something you are, which is unique to your person such as a finger print. When it comes to access control, a fingerprint is the most secure means of authentication because PIN numbers can be discovered and fobs or tokens can be lost, copied or shared among people.”
