4. INNER SCAN

Trueprint sensor is the latest fingerprint sensor technology developed that has the capability to exploit the inner layer of a person’s skin (saline layer) for identification. Putting emphasis on user friendliness and simplicity system, users have the option of utilizing the system through several operation modes; (ie card mode, card + Pin mode, Card + Fingerprint Mode, Card + Pin + Fingerprint Mode, Finger ID +Fingerprint Mode, Speed Access Finger mode Only, Pin Mode Only). This is to customize the various security requirements that users need. Notably, each of these FingerPrint Controllers can store up to 500-fingerprint templates, and in the future upgrade to 1000-fingerprint templates to cater for higher users’ capacity. In addition to that InnerScan™ is able to break through the speed barrier that is faced by many biometric manufacturers. The capture time of the fingerprint template is approximately 1 second. InnerScan™ is also equipped with SMS features, Electronic key (E-Key), and Antipassback features.
