Facial recognition camera lock

[mic6 0]

I was wondering if there is any video camera with facial recognition combined with a door lock?

What I have in mind is a camera that spots me when walking up the stairs and unlocks the door without me having to stand 20 cm in front of a lens to be verified.

Question is, would you really want anyone with a printed picture of you to be able to unlock that door?

I can imagine you could get pass it with that, but since it's just for a regular house that won't be much of a problem.

 

Right now I am considering one of these http://www.zktechnology.eu/index.php/categories-11/t-a-ac-terminals/kalypso-series/face-rfid-fp-86

But you need to face the device and look into it to open the door.

 

The optimal solution would of course be a video camera that could spot you as you approach the house and unlocks the door. Especially if you could also access the camera with your mobile phone and use that to unlock the door if theres visitors, but I would be surprised if that's also possible within a price range one can affort.

Facial recognition allows identifying human faces appearing in still images or video streams by looking up face databases. This in turn allows building a range of security applications such as video surveillance and real-time access control systems.

A network of IP cameras managed by a NVR (network video recorder) allows you to broadcast your security camera footage over the internet. You can view your footage from anywhere in the world, and check up on any of your complexes at any time.

While a facial recognition door lock could be a fun project, if everybody who needs to get into your house has a smart phone you might also consider something like this.
