People try to fool biometric systems in creative ways. Attendance systems with facial recognition face challenges from fraudsters using photos, videos, or masks — but liveness detection technology can prevent such fraud.
Liveness detection is the ability of a biometric system to distinguish between real live signals and fake ones. Its purpose is to prevent fraud and ensure that the system recognizes actual people rather than photos or videos.
The technology uses complex algorithms and detected key points to identify living people and distinguish them from attempts with video or photographs.
Organizations with newer attendance terminals can activate liveness detection without needing more powerful hardware, simply by contacting support.
