…Virdi Nigeria exhibits FBI-certified biometric device
Virdi Nigeria, the West African wing of Union Community, a global leader in security software and contactless multimodal biometric solutions, has showcased its FBI-certified biometric device along with face recognition, access control, time and attendance management, visitor and meal management devices to curb security challenges in firms and save cost.
Speaking with the Guardian, the Regional Sales Director, MEA, Virdi Middle East, Dubai, Mr. Manzoor Fatmi, disclosed that Virdi manufactures its biometric devices based on one hundred per cent fake fingerprint and face detection technology.
He said that the ability of Virdi biometric devices to detect fake and live fingerprints remains one of the company’s strongest advantage. “This is one of the very unique points. The sensor is approved by FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), USA. That is the reason we claim that our product is based on hundred per cent fake detection technology”, he said.
He called on private, public and government agencies to ensure that the security product they use in routine operations are hundred per cent secure.
“People don’t think about this point. This is one of the challenges that I saw. Users don’t realise this. You are paying huge amount for a nice, beautiful device and at the end of the day, the device is not secure. What is the use of the amount you are spending?”
Fatmi who also spoke about the face recognition technology solution provided by Virdi Nigeria, noted; “We have a very good facial recognition model which is purely touchless, just show your face within a distance of fifteen centimetres and it recognises the face. Presently, we also have a model that can detect up to four faces simultaneously at a distance of three metres”.
He further explained that the company’s Time and Attendance Solution, vTime, addresses the issue of manipulation in time and attendance management. He emphasised that the product helps organisations, especially manufacturing companies to save cost, maximise operational efficiency, and enhance user convenience.
Hr noted that the technology helps reduce the number of security personnel needed in firms which is cost effective and solves security issues.
Fatmi added that the technology consumes minimal power to function and has also leveraged on clean energy and external battery backup option.
