Advanced Industrial Systems Ltd (AIS), the local authorised distributor for Recognition Systems Inc., is pleased to announce that it is launching a new fingerprint reader, the FingerKey DX.
Recognition Systems, Inc., a division of Ingersoll-Rand, is the worldwide leader in Biometric access control, time and attendance, and personal identification products. Biometric devices are electronic means of measuring unique characteristics or actions of a person, and are used to identify, or verify, the identity of an individual.
Ingersoll-Rand provide and support both fingerprint and hand geometry, the two top biometric technologies used for Access Control and Time and Attendance applications. From now on, dealers and integrators will be able to objectively provide technology alternatives, support and solutions, carrying the same trusted brand name, fitting the appropriate biometric technology to each and every access point. Hence everyone can have confidence in their chosen biometric technology with a proven solution from a proven source – IR Recognition Systems.
Fingerprint readers are a secure and lower cost biometric alternative for access control points that have minimal traffic flow and small user populations. They are an ideal solution for securely gaining access to computer rooms, document control facilities, laboratories and other key or critical infrastructure points.
The FingerKey DX reader includes a keypad and LCD display. An optional proximity reader, memory and Ethernet upgrades are also available. A user simply enters a PIN code or presents a proximity card, which calls up a template to scan. Then, the user places a finger on the FingerKey reader for verification against that local template. Verification takes less than two seconds.
Integration to access control systems is simple with the FingerKey. On successful verification, the FingerKey outputs the ID number in a Wiegand format to an access control panel. Both standard and proprietary formats are supported. Alternate facility codes can be sent on invalid verifications and other alarm conditions possibly through a large red, green and amber light bar which provides excellent user feedback. The access panel or FingerKey controls the operation of the light bar, as well as the buzzer, insuring accurate feedback to the user.
