Genie launches Virdi biometric access control range
Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire
All Virdi fingerprint units are able to detect fake fingerprints produced with paper, coated paper, film, silicon, rubber and gelatin. They are detected using three different methods. Firstly, by distinguishing between live and fake fingerprints using electrostatic capacity technology to detect electrical discharge. Secondly, analysing the image data - achieved by illuminating the fingerprint with infrared at various incident angles and lastly, detecting differences between live and fake fingerprints using a powerful proprietary algorithm.
Virdi biometric readers are patented on all core technology, which includes the fingerprint sensor, fingerprint algorithm, fingerprint search and live and fake fingerprint detection. The capabilities of these patents have been independently verified and are internationally recognised. The fingerprint recognition sensor boasts high durability and stability, producing high quality fingerprint images that eliminate distortion and after images created by the optical sensor.
Virdi systems are an ideal composition of access control with time and attendance control as they provide optimal verification (identification) of people. Virdi systems do not eliminate readers for password (PIN) or RF cards, allowing the use of two verification methods e.g. fingerprint with RF card or fingerprint with PIN code. Work time tracking based on biometry is comfortable for users and the most reliable for employers. The time and attendance solution uses access records from the authentication server. The fingerprint recognition device can be used as the basis of an integrated system, without additional time and attendance recorders or other devices. The access records are strictly managed and prevent manipulation of work hours. This is an innovative system that can monitor workers as well as enhance productivity.
