Biometrics
Identify and authenticate
Biometric information, unlike passwords, cannot be forgotten, exchanged or forged. The successful capture of a human face relies on a combination of proven imaging technologies and excellent software delivering speedy results at the press of a button. For this reason, Canon cameras, flash systems, SELPHY printers and lenses are used around the world by many organisations and businesses to aquire facial data for HR departments, security cards and visitor passes along with scanners for scanning ID documents that, together, integrate into workflow solutions to make the process as simple as possible.
