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. |
