If you thought that face recognition devices were only used in movies or by the intelligence bureau, you would be among many others, as this technology, which is used for a variety of purposes, from home/office security to searching for a specific person in a database of photos and signing a user into their phone, is not yet widely known. Although face recognition technology is not new, it is also not yet commonly used for security purposes in homes or buildings. However, it is rapidly gaining interest and popularity in countries throughout the world, including the UK, and Your Choice Fire and Security is one of the frontrunners when it comes to this technology.

Your Choice Fire and Security is based in West Yorkshire and provides a wide range of fire and security services such as risk assessment, access control, fire protection, Covid-19 solutions, security alarms, and CCTV systems. They are also BAFE Fire Security registered for the design, installation, handover/commissioning, and maintenance of fire detection and alarm systems, and they have SSAIB accreditation for their CCTV systems and access control systems, fire detection and alarm systems, and services in intruder alarm systems.

“Hikvision face recognition technology consists of a contactless device that uses an IR facial identification and recognition algorithms and technology to accurately identify people when, for example, they enter a construction site or corporate building. It can also be installed in other settings like homes. When compared to traditional algorithms, Hikvision's deep learning algorithm for facial recognition improves recognition accuracy by more than 37% and as everyone knows, the higher the accuracy, the better the efficiency and the overall experience,” explained Jason Begg – the managing director of Your Choice Fire and Security.

While it’s beneficial in identifying and locating criminals and missing persons, face recognition technology extends far beyond convenience to extreme security even in the workplace. Hikvision face recognition terminals, for example, are equipped with infrared and visible light lenses, and entrance to high-security buildings, a laboratory, manufacturing facilities, or construction sites is only allowed when both lenses recognise the same individual. When videos, photographs, or other media are fraudulently utilised, this technology only strengthens security and aids in preventing unauthorised admission.

Your Choice Fire and Security provides a variety of touch-free technology options that can help increase safety and security at your home or office building.
