The system is networkable or standalone, and will be included in the CPNI’s trusted Catalogue of Security Equipment (CSE).

“We are pleased to hear that the our widely popular fingerprint authentication System is now fully approved for UK Government use. Our customers and their clients will clearly benefit from a trusted and proven biometric fingerprint system," explains John Boorman Sales and Marketing Director at Genie.

The AC5000 is an IP65 rated system that can detect “fake” fingerprints, it is available in black and white housings, and includes a customised LED display.

The Genie team will be conducting live demonstrations of the product at the UK Security Expo, at London's Olympia, coming up on the 30th November - 1st December, 2016.
