Biometric Security Services & Installation
Advanced security starts with precise access control. PPVS delivers biometric security solutions that use cutting-edge technology to protect commercial, industrial and retail sites across the UK.
Trusted to manage over 3,000 sites, we provide tailored systems that enhance security, prevent unauthorised access and give organisations confidence that their people and assets are protected around the clock.
Biometric Security Installation
Passwords may not have quite had their day, but there are huge problems with them. Most of these problems hinge on the fact that it’s difficult for people to remember even one, unique, strong password. IT security professionals have therefore been developing password replacements. One of these is biometric security.
What is Biometric Security?
Biometric security replaces or supplements something you know (i.e. a password) with something you have, i.e. a part of your body. The main advantage of biometric security is that you cannot forget to bring your body with you the way you can forget to bring an access token. It is also even more difficult to counterfeit a body part than it is an access token.
Types of Biometric Security
At present, biometric security is generally based on fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, facial recognition or voice recognition. In principle, it’s also possible to use DNA recognition. In practice, however, there are numerous reasons why this is currently highly impractical.
Below is PPVS quick guide to the main types of biometric security in use at this time. All of these biometric security types are available for installation by our team of professionals.

Fingerprint Recognition Biometric
Fingerprint recognition is widely used on premium mobile devices. It is also growing in popularity as a means of access control. At present, fingerprint scanners require a person to put their finger onto the scanner and hold it there while the scan is done. This means that it is a relatively slow method of biometric identification. It does, however, offer a particularly high level of security.
Iris Recognition Biometric
Iris recognition is much more similar to fingerprint recognition than to facial recognition. As with fingerprint recognition, a person needs to have their eyeball right up against the scanner and keep it there while the scan is done. This can be a bit uncomfortable, especially if the person wants to blink. As with fingerprint recognition, however, iris recognition offers a very high level of security.
Facial Recognition Biometric
The most obvious difference between facial recognition and both fingerprint recognition and iris recognition is that it can be done “on-the-fly”. In other words, a person’s image can be captured in passing and analysed as they are moving forward. If necessary, security personnel can then move in to remove people. This makes it very convenient, but, at present, the recognition system is not totally reliable.

Biometrics Security FAQs
How does biometric security work? >
Biometric systems capture an individual’s unique biological traits using sensors such as fingerprint scanners or cameras. This information is then stored in a database and compared with the live scan during authentication. If there is a match, access is granted – if not, access is denied.
Is biometric security accurate? >
Yes, biometric security has been proven to be highly accurate, with error rates as low as 0.01%. This is because biometric traits are unique to each individual and cannot be easily replicated or shared.
What are the benefits of using biometric security? >
Biometric security offers several advantages over traditional forms of authentication, including increased accuracy and efficiency, reduced risk of fraud and identity theft, and improved convenience for users. Biometrics also eliminate the need for physical tokens or passwords, reducing costs associated with lost or stolen credentials.
