Each biometric technology has its own unique advantages; therefore, not one biometric technology fits all applications. Applying the right technology is the key to success. That is why Ingersoll Rand Security Technologies offers a family of products designed to meet your needs for access control, time and attendance or identity verification.

For Access control, we provide the ultimate in security by ensuring that only authorised people are allowed access, protecting your valuable assets.

For Time and Attendance, we verify that the right person has punched in or out for the day, eliminating costly time fraud.

For Identity verification applications, we automate client identification systems, in addressing the right person in a fast and cost effective manner.

Key Biometric Selection Criteria:

• Large Scale Application Experience
• User Acceptance
• Enrollment –Low Failure Rate, Fast
• Low False Reject Rate

• Fast Throughput
• Low False Accept Rate
• Environmental Considerations
• Outdoor Applications

Hand Reader
Hand Geometry Technology

Recognition Systems' biometric HandReaders simultaneously analyse more than 31,000 points and instantaneously records more than 90 separate measurements of an individual's hand-including length, width, thickness and surface area-to verify that the person using the device is really who he or she claims to be. The HandReader compares this information with a 'template' of the individual's hand that has previously been stored in the reader, on a server or on a card. Once the person has been identified as a valid user, a door can be opened, access can be provided, or time recorded. The reading and verification process takes less than a second with impeccable reliability.

• High volume, high throughput openings
• High security environments
• High user acceptance
• Non-intrusive technology

Hand geometry performance

• False Accept Rate (FAR): 0.1%
• False Reject Rate (FRR): 0.1%
• Failure to enrol (FTE): Less than 0.01%
• Equal Error Rate (ERR): 0.1%

Fingerkey
Fingerprint Technology

Recognition Systems' fingerprint readers analyse fingerprints located between the tip of a finger and first knuckle. An image is captured by a patented algorithm which then extracts unique points from the image and converts the data into a unique mathematical template. The fingerprint reader compares this information with a 'template' of the individual's print that has previously been stored. Once the person has been verified as a valid user, a door can be opened or access can be granted.

• Low cost biometric technology
• Low volume, low throughput openings
• High security environments
