What is Biometrics?




Biometrics is defined as an automated method of identifying a person based on a physiological characteristic. In the case of BioAxxis, that characteristic is a fingerprint. Unlike keys, passwords, security cards, etc.; your fingerprint cannot be lost, shared, or duplicated. It's home security in a fingerprint.

How can BioAxxis biometric products make home security or office security easier – and more secure – than regular locks?

If we look at different forms of locks (even those considered to be cutting-edge) we find that they all have certain chinks in their armor that can allow anyone in and even keep you out:

• Keys, Keycards, and Badges:
Keys and keycards can easily be stolen and/or copied to allow unauthorized access. Convenience and human error can also be a factor here as keys and keycards can be lost or forgotten. When users forget or lose their keys, keycard, or badge; productivity is lost while they search or return home for them.

BioAxxis Answer: No one can pretend to be you with fingerprint identification. Also, while keys and keycards can be lost or forgotten, your fingers are with you no matter what you’re doing. With BioAxxis, you’ll never forget your keys or end up rummaging for them again. You can enter your house faster with this type of home security.

• Passwords and PIN Numbers:
Passwords and PIN numbers can easily be observed and then stolen by users who want access. Based on how complicated you password and PIN numbers are, they can easily be copied or narrowed down by computer algorithms. Also, this kind of access is the most sharable and thus, the most exposed. No key has to change hands, the real user doesn’t have to be present at access, and only a word or number has to be uttered to have home security breached by anyone listening. Even though this form of access isn’t something that can be forgotten at home, it can be forgotten in an even more inconvenient and time-consuming way: If a user can’t remember their password or PIN number, they must be registered as a user again and the system is often reset just for them. This requires more time for the user and the administrator.

BioAxxis Answer: Again, no one can copy your fingerprint. If someone watches you use a BioAxxis biometric fingerprint lock, they cannot steal any access information. No one can steal your fingerprints or pretend their hands are yours. Plus, users never have to be re-registered because obviously you can never forget your fingerprint! Home security with Bioaxxis is safer!

• Security Guard/Front Desk Manager with Door Access:
Many people think that having a guard or manager at an access point makes their home or business more secure. However, as opposed to a high security machine, it can be tricked. Users, who present fake IDs, create occupational distractions, or even use brute force can easily circumvent a guard.

BioAxxis Answer: BioAxxis locks allow no fakes. There is no room for mistaken identity. Also, a guard or manager can only handle so many tasks at once. Their attention is usually on many jobs; access is just one of them. BioAxxis locks have one job to be completed to perfection each time. And the BioAxxis locks can withstand tremendous force. They’re made so securely with solid brass and other metals. Many BioAxxis locks will sound alarms if any damage – such as drilling, sawing or pounding – is done to them to the lock. You will know your home security is working for you.

Which BioAxxis biometric fingerprint door lock is right for my circumstances?

We have a wide array of biometric security products that can protect your home security, family, office, and valuables. Ranging in price from a few hundred to a couple thousand – there is a lock that will fit within your budget. And with our decades of experience and constant interaction with experienced locksmiths across the US, we create products to fit everyone’s needs.

To decide which BioAxxis biometric fingerprint door lock is best for you, you must understand your security needs. Read through the deciding categories we have below to help you understand what your home or business requires and which of our products fits that requirement.

• Residential
For home security biometric locks, we suggest a smaller door lock that blends beauty and security. The BioAxxis BD1 (30 users) or BD1HS (100 users) is perfect for residential use.

• Temperature and Weather Requirements:
To decide your temperature and weather requirements, your locks’ placements must be definite. Are your biometric fingerprint door locks going to be indoors or outdoors? If they are outdoors, are they in direct sunlight and rainfall? If they are indoors, are they kept at room temperature or in a vestibule where it can fall below zero in winter? These are important questions as the materials and construction of each BioAxxis lock dictates how it can be protected from naturally occurring damage. Many of our biometric fingerprint door locks have sliding weatherproof covers to protect the fingerprint sensor from rain, snow, humidity, UV rays, and dirt. The sliding cover also acts as a power switch to turn the sensor on when it is opened; thereby preserving battery power.

• Finger Conditions and Secondary Access:
In some cases, such as at a construction site, workers’ hands can be dirty and worn causing the sensor to misread fingerprints. In these cases, BioAxxis locks offer secondary access with keys or PIN numbers. This allows access to some users while others can still use their fingerprints. Our secondary access options are top-quality. For example, our secondary keys can only be duplicated by a professional locksmith.

• Security Level:
We offer standard biometric home security products like the BioAxxis BD1 for users who have basic security requirements. However, we also offer high-security versions of products like the BioAxxis BD1HS. This lock utilizes an impact alarm; a high-security cylinders; an ANSI Grade 1, UL-Listed (3-hour fire rated) deadbolt; and an upgraded motor.

• What are you protecting?:
If you are trying to protect your home or business, BioAxxis biometric fingerprint door locks are the ideal solution.

• False Acceptance Rates (FAR) and False Rejection Rates (FRR):
BioAxxis products’ FAR and FRR are some of the lowest in our industry. As fraud and theft continue to grow on traditional door locks, ours continues to shrink as the technology evolves and thieves are thwarted. Biometrics already has the best FAR and FRR as compared to ordinary locks, and it continues to get better while traditional locks stay the same. Shouldn’t you be on the winning side? Our lowest FAR and FRR can be found in products like the BioAxxis BD1.
