Face recognition technology is becoming increasingly commonplace, with applications ranging from unlocking your smartphone to providing security for buildings and other sensitive areas. The latest development in this area is the use of face recognition for access control, which is being trialled by a number of organizations.

There are some potential drawbacks to using face recognition for access control, however. Firstly, the technology is still relatively new and immature, so there may be some teething problems. Secondly, it requires a database of facial images to be created and maintained, which could prove costly. Finally, some people may have privacy concerns about their facial images being stored and used for identification purposes.
