Crestron partners with ekey to deliver fingerprint door entry to Crestron smart homes

Crestron announced ekey biometric systems GmbH is now an official Crestron integration partner. According to the manufacturer, the sleek wall-mounted ekey finger scanners integrate seamlessly with Crestron 3-Series control systems. Fingerprint door entry also enhances security by eliminating hackable 4-digit codes and the possibility of key or access card forgery.

“ekey and Crestron took up the challenge of making door entry more secure and convenient,” said Michael Short, Global Residential Marketing Manager for Crestron. “To deliver on that, we focused on one of the aspects that makes us unique as human beings – fingerprints. Now, in essence, your finger is the key to your Crestron smart home.”

ekey products leverage biometric processes to provide reliable added security, and make stolen keys, cards, and forgotten passwords or codes a thing of the past. They provide the additional benefit of enabling building control systems to track who’s coming in.

“As a specialist in fingerprint technology and a proven vendor of outdoor rated fingerprint readers, we are very excited about our partnership with Crestron and the possibilities of this advanced integration,” added Short. “It’s like turning Crestron into a biometric access control system by itself, featuring simplified administration centrally via – for instance – a Crestron touch screen. By saving multiple fingerprints of individual users, different functions can be triggered. Whereas your right index finger will become your new key for unlocking your front door, your left index finger will trigger a silent alarm when used under duress.”
