Private sector facial recognition gaining acceptance?
Face-recognition system unlocks doors at Manhattan complex (Fox - New York)
Falling prices might have something to do with it as well. Either way, it's good to see facial recognition getting some traction in the private market. A positive return on investment for these deployments depends on public acceptance and increasing security without sacrificing convenience or vice versa.
A camera takes 5 pictures of each resident's face. One is selected then it and other info about the resident are stored in the system database. Once a tenant tries to get through their building's security door, a high-tech scanner reads their face. If the system recognizes the face, the door is unlocked in a matter of seconds.This story is much more about public acceptance of facial recognition than face-rec technology. The technology for this sort of application had been around for years.

Landlord's plan to use biometric security system raises concern
CBC News
Biometric deployments must be managed from a technological and human perspective. Biometric ID management systems are new and there is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding out there.
Ultimately, these technologies will succeed because they make people's lives better and save them money, but they must be adopted in a manner consistent with established social norms.
The landlord in this case has obviously made some missteps.
The adoption of Biometrics is about where eCommerce was in 1999. To be honest, at that time I was one of the one's saying "Who would put their credit card number into a web site!?" Now I can't imagine going to a shoe store or buying music in a bricks-and-mortar store.
eCommerce grew as the early adopters rarely became victims of fraud and they shared their experiences with others. This is as it should be.
Anyone who attempts to force their customers into a system like this, especially as it relates to access to their homes, should be very careful.
