TopSec ID Modules

The TopSec ID Modules from MB fingerMetrica are ideally suited for battery-powered, stand-alone fingerprint applications without need for a PC. Compatibility with the TopSec ID Module from Siemens guarantees simple upgrade of existing applications, but with the choice for new high-performance fingerprint sensors from leading manufacturers.
The TopSec ID Modules perform all basic biometric functions such as enrolment, verification, and identification over several hundred fingerprints. The fingerprint templates are safely stored in the module. Using a standard microcontroller interface, any inexpensive customer controller can be used for managing the desired application. This guarantees a cost-effective solution with minimum development efforts.
Established and potential applications are Access Control, Door Lock and Safe, POS system, PDA/Mobile systems (refer to Technology Licensing: B-REAL), Personal Access of portable system (PDA, mobile phones, Notebooks), Password of Information Access Security (PC,Workstation, networks and machine controller), Powerful Personal Identification (BioSCard, ID Card, Credit Card & Smart Card), Remote control, Access systems (safe deposits, automobile sector, locks, keys), PC-keys/PC-mouse (password replacement, boot protection, homebanking, network access), Card readers, Defensive arms (child protection, secure weapons, weapon saves), Time registration and Attendance systems, Theft protection for mobile devices, car radios, notebooks, Medical devices, Printer and Fax devices, Measuring and control equipment, Transport boxes, Weapon saves, Alarm devices, Automotive control and many others.
The TopSec ID Modules are compatible to our BioIDENTICA® SDK. This way, certain operations such as enrolment can also be performed by PC based applications.
