Why HID Facial Recognition

Cutting-edge facial recognition technology for fast, secure and seamless authentication

Leading the Way in Facial Recognition Excellence

Backed by 30+ years of biometric expertise, HID’s facial recognition solutions set the standard with innovation and proven reliability. We offer all the essential components to build and deploy a high-performing biometric identity verification solution tailored to your organization’s requirements.

Fast, Accurate and Adaptable — Reliable Performance in Any Setting

As the essential capture device within our facial recognition solution portfolio, the U.ARE.U™ Camera Identification System fuses HID’s multispectral imaging (MSI) technology with AI and machine learning to deliver fast, accurate matching in any environment … every time!

Engineered for real-world scenarios, our technology excels in challenging environments — varied lighting, busy backgrounds, and diverse user heights and conditions — ensuring superior “in-the-wild” accuracy.

Ethically Built & Trained for Inclusive, Bias-Free Recognition

Designed for exceptional speed and accuracy, our facial recognition algorithm consistently ranks among the top performers in NIST industry benchmarks. Powered by AI-trained and ethically sourced datasets, our facial recognition technology ensures precise matching across diverse demographics — including skin tones, genders and age groups — promoting fairness and inclusivity.    

Advanced Presentation Attack Detection (PAD)

HID’s industry-leading presentation attack detection (PAD) actively detects and blocks spoof attempts at the point of capture. Our advanced passive liveness detection counters sophisticated threats, such as 3D masks, printed images and digital forgeries. Built to meet the ISO 30107-3 standard, our PAD technology effectively ensures robust security against fraudulent attacks.
