Biometric-based

Biometric Devices

Dedicated fingerprint, iris or vein recognition hardware for high-accuracy identity verification.

What it is

Biometric devices are purpose-built hardware — fingerprint, iris, or vein scanners, and dedicated face-recognition machines — that verify identity at a single fixed point, typically an entry or exit gate.

Two different face technologies — don't confuse them

Face is not one technology. It's two, with different hardware and different economics.

Face-based machine (this page)

Dedicated biometric hardware — a fixed device at a gate, purpose-built for face recognition alongside fingerprint/iris options on the same unit. Higher upfront cost, no dependency on existing infrastructure.

Face match by mobile device or CCTV

Software-only — runs on a phone camera or existing CCTV, no dedicated device to buy. See AI Face Match for this option, which most deployments use instead of a dedicated machine.

Best for / not for

Where Biometric Devices genuinely fits — and where it doesn't

Best for

  • High-security zones where a dedicated checkpoint is acceptable
  • Environments where camera-based face match isn't viable (poor lighting, no CCTV budget)
  • Small, single-entry sites where one device covers all traffic

Not for

  • Clinical or food-handling environments — shared touchpoints conflict with hygiene protocols
  • High-traffic entries where a single-device queue creates bottlenecks
  • Glove-required environments (fingerprint-based devices specifically)
MemoFaceAI integration

Biometric devices feed MemoFaceAI as a Source alongside any other technology you run — the intelligence layer above them doesn't change.
