Abbeyfs Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Hi Guys A customer of mine has asked that I install a unit onto his driveway gate, allowing him and his children to set and unset a perimeter alarm system and unlock the pedestrian gate. I have repeatedly tried to push him away from voice recognition but he is adamant he wants it. I am going to tell him that I will fit one but I will not offer any guarantees on reliability, sort of a "I told you so" in 6 months when he is still having problems. Am I being too sceptical and does anybody know of any reliable and secure voice recognition units? Have any of you installed such devices and would recommend a manufacturer or specific product? I wanted to fit him an ievo fingerprint reader as I found them very reliable but he has assured me that his mind is made up and that is what he wants. Thanks for your help.

matthew.brough Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Don't forget even with disclaims you as the installer must ensure it is fit for purpose www.securitywarehouse.co.uk/catalog/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/35498-voice-biometrics/#findComment-350800 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubit Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Don't just tell him. Put it in writing and clearly stating you do not recommend it and on that basis like of reliability cannot be placed at your door - so to speak. Me? Hate biometrics and external units even more so.

Abbeyfs Posted October 23, 2013 Author Share Posted October 23, 2013 I'm glad that I was not being too sceptical. It sounds like you are thinking they won't be very reliable too. Putting it in writing is the way to go I think. It wouldnt suprise me to see him back down once he realises im not going to offer any guarantees on reliability. Thanks guys.

cybergibbons Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 Voice biometrics are the worst of all biometrics. Easy to fool by recording or emulation. Expensive. Don't like wind noise. Not seen it seriously used for a long time. I have a blog, some of which is about alarm security and reverse engineering:http://cybergibbons.com/ Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/35498-voice-biometrics/#findComment-350824 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 I did a job a long time ago which opened a bedroom door on voice recognition which worked great until he's had a few beers and then it couldn't understand him. He was found one night fast asleep outside the bedroom door in a drunken mess..

Not seen it seriously used for a long time. In the smartphone era seems daft to even consider it! TBH until mentioned I couldn't even say who made one. Customers eh! So, I've decided to take my work back underground.... to stop it falling into the wrong hands Link to comment https://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/community/topic/35498-voice-biometrics/#findComment-350828 Share on other sites More sharing options...
