    WIRELESS TELEPHONE AT WHITE HOUSE
    November 21, 1919 - White House, U.S.A.

    President Wilson used a radio telephone set up on the south portico of the White House to direct the maneuvers of a dozen army airplanes flying over the Potomac river several miles away. His telephoned directions went direct to the flight commander in the air. The instrument was similar to those used by American aviators in France in the latter part of World War I. Col. C. C. Culver actively developed the equipment. He began the project in Aug 1910. No new invention was needed, only adaptation and adjustment of existing techniques. By Aug 1916, he was able to send a radio telegraph signal from a plane. Enlisting expert help from the telephone companies, by Oct 1917, voice messages could be send between a plane and the ground. The system was put into service for military wartime use.

    EDISON'S PHONOGRAPH
    November 21, 1877 - New York City, U.S.A.

    Thomas Edison announced his invention of his "talking machine" - the tin-foil cylinder recorder that preceeded the phonograph. He appears to have envisioned it as a business dictation machine. In Sep 1877, he wrote that its purpose was "to record automatically the speech of a very rapid speaker upon paper; from which he reproduces the same Speech immediately or years afterwards preserving the characteristics of the speakers voice so that persons familiar with it would at once recognize it." The indented tin foil, however, would survive only a few playings. By the first public showing of a phonograph, which took place in New York City in early Feb 1878, its practical applications had not yet been realized.

  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."
  • The Revolution
    by John Adams

    "...The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations.

Focusing on the technical part, visitor management system is based on 'no human touch' technology. That means, for the enrollment the individual does not have to touch the device like other punching machines. But he/she have to stand in front of the device.

It then captures the image of the individual and stores electronically in the database. During the re-visit of the individual, he/she needs to stand in front of the device again and it will capture the image. Then it will perform the matching process between the new patterns and the already stored patterns. If it will get a match then it will grant the permission.

System Based on Face Recognition Technology:

System is thus based on face recognition technology as it provides the authentication by analyzing the individual's face. Thus, it manages the work of the manual security guards and replaces the paper register system with the technology. It acts as a virtual escort to your visitors. But, what if some unwanted visitors want to enter at your place?

A Breath Taking Feature of the Device:

With visitor management system, one can set the different priority level depending upon the visitors. If someone is not expected in the premise due to some reason, then the priority could be set as 'low'.

Other Benefits:

If the previously mentioned features are not enough to build the trust for this technology, then focus on the numerous advantages:

? The system is a very easy and fastest method of security.

? It possesses a very low installation charge.

? A very advanced means of security which does not even demand buddy punching.

? It has now made everything automatic therefore there is no need of maintaining piles of log books.

? It is a cost effective technology with a low maintenance cost.

Real Time Applications:

Visitor management system can be used at any entrance for security. It can be used in office, schools, home, museum and many other places. You can also protect you premise from theft attack or from terrorism. As for the authentication you need not to touch the device just have to show your face therefore one will not be able to enter unless and until he/she will be enrolled. It was not possible with the conventional approach.

Also if the priority is properly set then, unauthenticated people will not get the right to enter and it will alarm to notify the unwanted danger.

Thus biometric visitor management system can help you in saving money and time by providing you a better guard system.
