Re: Biometric Access logs

[Kurt Buff <kurt.buff () gmail com>]

What biometric technology is used - fingerprint, retina scan, hand
geometry, or something else?

You have a few choices, IMHO:

1) couple the biometrics with a standard swipe card

2) get biometric data set up for all employees and visitors who might
conceivably be able to come near the server room

3) get a camera setup that records failed login attempts (or even all
attempts), so that you can get a face associated with the login
attempt. This may require more than one camera, depending on your
requirements.
