LAS VEGAS — CrucialTrak recently partnered with CBC America to bring its Biometric Access Control System (BACS) to the security market. Just a few weeks later, the product has earned top honors as Best New Product in the SIA New Product Showcase (NPS) at ISC West 2017. The touchless all-in-one multi-biometric access control system actually combines four biometric modalities - simultaneous touchless fingerprint recognition and palm vein recognition, 2D/3D matching face recognition and iris recognition - into a single terminal.
The use of Multi-Biometrics takes advantages of the capabilities of each biometric technology while overcoming the limitations of a single technology, according to CrucialTrak. Daniel Gold, Managing Director of Americas at CrucialTrak, accepted the award on behalf of the company, and the product will be on display at ISC West today in both the CrucialTrak booth (#14059) and CBC America's booth (#22053).
“Many returning companies entered the SIA New Product Showcase this year, and many new entrants also competed in the showcase,” Security Industry Association CEO Don Erickson said in a statement. “New and familiar faces did very well in the 2017 showcase. I congratulate CrucialTrak for distinguishing itself as Best New Product overall in a very competitive year.”
In all, this year's NPS Program had 120 entries, a record for entrants in recent years. The Judges' Choice Award was presented to Thermal Imaging Radar for Hydra, which provides wide area intrusion detection through continuous 360° thermal intrusion detection combined with 360° targeted surveillance from a 30X zoom laser IR starlight PTZ. Check it out in Booth #4122.
