A Safer, More Convenient Way to Access Campus Facilities
The IRIS Camera System uses a biometric device that digitizes a photograph of your eyes at an access point in order to gain entrance into a facility or area of a building. There are two parts of the biometric process – enrollment and recognition. Enrollment is completed at the Eagle Card Center where a representative will make a digital photographed iris pattern (or D-PIP) of your eyes using the IRIS Camera System. Then the IRIS Camera System photo recognition software stores your D-PIP on our server. When a user uses a camera at any Dining Commons, Lakeside DC, the Recreation Activity Center or other location, the IRIS Camera System compares the D-PIP at a recognition station to all others on our server for verification.
