Worth looking at the new website. Extract:
"Case Study:
Strengthening security for patients and employees
A hospital system in northern New Jersey, wanted to improve security for their patients and employees. It turned to Securlinx to implement a facial recognition capability to help security officials detect high-risk individuals seeking entry to the hospital, such as people subject to restraining orders, known prescription drug seekers and former employees and contract staff no longer permitted on hospital premises.
Securlinx installed a system that acquires an image from a video camera, converts the facial image into a biometric template and compares it to templates stored in the hospital�s database. Potential matches are given a quality score based on the similarity of the images, and an alert is generated. The system works with mathematical facts about the structure of a person�s face, which means it cannot be fooled by attempts to disguise an identity using cosmetics or facial hair and cannot be used for gender- or ethnicity-based profiling. The Securlinx system has greatly improved hospital security, particularly in sensitive areas, such as the emergency entrance, main entrance and the maternity ward.
[Securlinx is now expanding the system to manage other biometric databases to meet the hospital�s needs for secure facilities access, new-employee enrollment and supplier management.]"
