Photo courtesy of HID.HID announced the North American availability of its HID Amico biometric facial recognition readers, making secure and friction-free biometric access practical for a much broader range of organizations. Amico expands HID’s biometric portfolio across a wider spectrum of use cases, deployment sizes and price points, bringing facial recognition within reach for small and medium-sized businesses.
Purpose-built for physical access control, HID Amico brings fast, accurate facial recognition to the door. Available in both 3.5-inch and 7-inch touchscreen models, it combines multiple options to help organizations modernize access control without disrupting existing credential strategies.
Designed for offices, healthcare facilities, educational campuses, commercial buildings and other busy environments, HID Amico secures entrances by letting authorized users move through the door naturally without stopping to present a credential. The result is faster throughput, improved convenience and stronger identity verification at the point of entry.
HID Amico offers five authentication methods including facial recognition, physical credentials, PIN, QR code and HID Mobile Access, allowing organizations to adopt biometrics at their own pace while supporting mixed credential environments.
