For people like me it would be a disaster to loose their lap top or to get is stolen. An even worse would be if somebody will access my computer at work or at home. I work in a very serious agency and I cannot tell you what I am doing there but there is a risk that somebody gets into my computer there. Besides that, I do not like when somebody uses my computer at home. In order to prevent people accessing my computers I was using the fingerprint scanners that were locking my computer until it scans my fingerprint. It was a top technology at that time but I heard that it wasn't secure enough.
First, anybody can mimic your fingerprints by copying it somehow. So this technology did not work for me as good and I started looking for something else.
I have found a gadget that really helped me protecting my information. The new Snappy Face Recognizer has been created to identify not your fingerprints but your face.
It looks like an ordinary web cam but it has this cool function of recognizing your face when you come up to it. Every time you want to access the computer it scans your face and check if it matches the face stored in its memory.
All you got to do in order to set up this gadget is just let it take some pictures of you and it is ready to be used. It takes pictures of high 1280 x 1024 pixels resolution and it is enough for it to recognize your face.
The computer is blocked until it recognizes your face. The part that I like about this gadget is that it is much more secure then the fingerprint scanning one. Try to mimic somebody's face and you will see that it is much harder to do.
This gadget camera connects to the USB 2.0 port and works all the time. So nobody will manage to break your computer's protection even if he or she unplugs this gadget.
There is another feature about this gadget that I like very much. I think that being multi functional is necessary for a gadget like this. Well this gadget can be used like a web camera. It can also take 640 x 480 pixels video clips. I tell you this is a pretty good resolution for a small gadget camera like this one.
You can use it chatting with your friends and with your coworkers. It is a very handy gadget because it both protects your computer and helps you communicate with people.
It is almost a hundred percent protection for your computer because it is impossibly to mimic your face and fool this gadget.
The cost of this gadget is somewhat high but I think that it is worth to pay $ 95 for a protection like this one. It is much safer than the fingerprint scanning ones.
