Airborne Biometrics Group (ABG), with headquarters in Camarillo, California, was started in 2007 by online security pioneer Joseph Rosenkrantz and is a spin-off from Airborne Technologies, Inc which was founded in 1980. Airborne Technologies started as a defense contractor which provided aircraft structural parts to the U.S. government and other countries using U.S. manufactured aircraft. Their ABG management team averages 22 years of experience in business and technology integration and the mission they started on was very simple – to provide integrated service offerings for facial recognition.
Facial recognition is a technology that captures individual faces in real time – in photos or video – and give precise identification based on database photographs and to do this, they provide service facial recognition software which is known as FaceFirst. This allows you to identify individuals with prior arrest records, suspected shoplifters and persons of interest on the internal watch/ban lists.
Airborne Biometrics Group also provides installation services and their solutions are used in transportation, sports facilities, in public and in private in the United States and Europe. FaceFirst is a fully automated facial recognition platform that provides alerts and customers are then provided with user-defined alerting and notification to your device or work station. You can also define your own facial recognition system to suit your specific needs.
FaceFirst Specifics:
· It provides an affordable way to reduce crime as it has real-time, government-grade facial identification technology which instantly matches with a huge central database thereby providing an alert in seconds so the crime can be stopped before it happens.
· It is the only complete, turnkey facial recognition service available today.
· It uses the world’s most highly developed facial recognition software and support is available seven days a week during business hours. If there are special requirement, you can contact us.

· You can also choose your delivery system whether it be e-mail, SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service), cash register alerts or log-only and they provide the complete installation service.
· They have a massive, centrally-managed database and server farm at their headquarters which allows us to provide you with state-of-the-art technology for much, much less than other facial recognition firms.
Airborne Biometrics Group offers the world’s only BlackBerry Mobile Face Recognition application. The architecture is a Java-based client-server and uses the FaceFirst API (Application Program Interface) for identification against large-scale watch lists. This application sends match probability, face images and database records to your mobile device very quickly and the installation itself is done over-the-air, which allows for very easy use.
Airborne Biometrics Group Automated Entry is built to outsmart the Smart Card Hackers in that it requires no ID or access cards. The faces of your authorized personnel work like a key. Mere seconds after their high-speed face-tracking video camera identifies someone in your database, FaceFirst triggers the door strike allowing entry only to authorized personnel.
