Sensor Device Selector
| Different sensor devices
for fingerprint recognition may show significant differences in their properties.
Although there is an optimal device for nearly each application, not every
device is suitable for every application. For that reason we provide recommendations
(but without obligation), which device is best suited for a certain application
requirement. In any case, you should consult us before you decide for a
certain device! |
|
| How to use the following
table: First select a device class (Cl) which best fits to your application.
Then you see the suitable devices in the lower part of the table. If multiple
device comes into question, you may make your final decision after consideration
of further criteria like type or price. |
|
| Application
example: You want to realize a time & attendance system with fingerprint.
The deployment shall be indoors and involves 300 persons using a single
sensor. This is a typical multiuser operation with additional robustness
requirements for which the Classes 4, 5, and 9 may be considered. Since
the extra features of Class 9 do not justify the higher cost in your case,
you find the optimal devices in the lower part of the table to be the SecuGen
Hamster Plus and the UPEK EikonTouch. |

Description |
| Single
user operation |
|
Normally, the sensor device
is only as used by a few persons, e.g., 5. Typical application: PC logon |
| Multiuser
operation |
|
The sensor device is used
by many persons, e.g., more than 10. Typical applications are time &
attendance control or access control. |
| Extended hygiene
requirements |
|
The sensor device must be
easy to clean and to disinfect. Typical application: border control |
| Theft
resistance |
|
The sensor device must not
be removable too easy without notice. Helpful is large size or the possibility
for mounting. |
| Increased robustness |
|
Enhanced resistance against
mechanical damage or against electrostatic discharge. |
| Improved fake
protection |
|
The sensor device disposes
of technical means to significantly hamper a reactivation of latent prints
or the use of mechanical copies. |
