HP Powers Iris Recognition Security System Designed to Improve School and Student Safety

HP today announced that its blade server and PC technology is powering an iris recognition security and visitor management system launched Monday by the Freehold Borough School District in Freehold, N.J.

Designed to improve overall school and student safety while reducing the administrative burden associated with the student sign in/sign out process, the Teacher-Parent Authorization Security System (T-PASSâ„¢) uses highly accurate iris recognition technology to establish positive identification of school employees, parents, guardians and visitors.

HP collaborated with Eyemetric Identity Systems, LG Electronics USA and Newton Security, Inc., to deliver the technology to the school district. The system is part of a study funded by a school safety grant valued at more than $369,000 from the National Institute of Justice, a research branch of the U.S. Department of Justice. Participation in the study is voluntary.
