The D100 requires absolutely no installation, just plug it in and put it on a desk!

You can enrol users directly onto the unit and then allow them to sign themselves in and out using just their fingerprint (OR an ID number and password!).

The D100 connects to any PC using a USB cable, and works just like a memory stick with no driver installation… You can then use the browser based software to import the information from the D100 and run reporting against it! Simple.

The unit can store up to 50,000 events, and up to 2,000 fingerprints (up to 1,000 users enrolling each index finger recommended).

Eyenetwatch are happy to offer this amazing looking and highly advanced terminal to our range of products!

Biometrics is an increasingly popular technology that provides convenient access to systems, services, and resources. Biometrics relies on measuring an unchanging physical characteristic of a person to uniquely identify that person. Fingerprints are one of the most frequently used biometric characteristics, with millions of fingerprint biometric devices that are embedded in personal computers and peripherals.

In Windows® 7, the Windows Biometric Framework (WBF) provides support for fingerprint biometric devices through a new set of components. These components improve the quality, reliability, and consistency of the user experience for customers who have fingerprint biometric devices.

The Windows Biometric Framework supports the Secugen Hamster Plus scanner! Which means our best value USB scanner can be purchased to use on Windows 7 systems without the need for additional software.

The Secugen Hamster plus can be purchased online from our website here.

How Eyenetwatch fingerprint systems work:

When your fingerprint is first scanned, the image itself is actually never actually saved or recorded – Instead, the image is analysed for unique and distinctive points across the fingerprint which then creates a string of computer information.

This information is then passed through an encryption algorithm.  This means that it undergoes a complex process, which cannot be reverse engineered to re-create an image or any other data which would identify an individual.  The encrypted data is equivalent to a 60 digit password and is completely useless and indecipherable by itself.  This is the information that is then stored.

As this process is one way only, the only way in which a user can be identified is to re-create the process and compare the new result with the one previously achieved.  If the results are deemed to be similar, then the user can be identified.

This means that the encrypted information by itself is both meaningless and useless in any other system, and can only be used where it is directly compared to a new result which is run through the same encryption process.

The result is a system which can accurately ensure that your child is attending school appropriately, without directly storing any biometric personal information or infringing any personal rights.

The Secugen Enterprise NMAS method is a software package which adds fingerprint security to your eDirectory service via NMAS. You can replace a login password with a fingerprint – thus requiring users to prove their identity rather than their knowledge of a password which could have been lost, stolen, forgotten or shared.

Administration of all fingerprint profiles are managed through the existing ConsoleOne utility that manages all network resources – so no new training is required. The login process takes place in Secugens highly intuitive and easy-to-use UI.

Adding this functionality to your network will save administration costs as passwords will no longer need to be reset. This solution integrates seamlessly and requires no coding what-so-ever. Administrators can choose to do monitored enrolment or provide an automated service to users, and up-to 10 fingerprints per person can be added to prevent any problems caused by finger or hand injury.

The Secugen NMAS login method starter pack comes in at only £169.99 (excl. VAT & delivery) and is compatible with all Secugen hardware. You can either add a USB fingerprint scanner like the Secugen Hamster Plus to each terminal, or why not consider replacing the keyboard or mouse with a built-in fingerprint version? EG/ The Secugen Optimouse Plus or the Secugen Keyboard Plus.

For more information about the Secugen NMAS login method and to buy, visit the product page here.

The Starter pack comes with 10 user licenses, additional licenses can also be purchased here.

If you have any experience with programming or application development, then developing your own biometric solutions might be easier than you think.

This article will focus on the FREE software development kits available through Eyenetwatch for use with Secugen hardware – Although please be aware Sagem and other brands also offer high quality SDKs and integration packages.

Secugen’s Software Development Kit (SDK) makes it easy to make your own applications. The FDx and SDK pro series offers low-level APIs and a small / simple library making it easy to create applications compatible with your UI.
On the more advanced end the SecuBSP comes with optimized enrolment and verification wizards, and extensive device functions.

Platforms supported include Windows, CE.NET, Java, Linux, X86 and SPARC Solaris 10

For a full technical overview with all the specifications and nerdy stuff, get in touch to request a full overview. Remember, the Secugen SDKs are FREE of charge with the purchase of Secugen Hardware from Eyenetwatch.

One of the best practises for eliminating the possibility of data loss or theft is issuing staff each with a secure USB memory stick. Our best selling stick for this purpose – the Integral Courier 256 bit AES drive comes with a whole host of security features. The 256 bit AES algorithm is considered to be military standard in its security integrity, along with additional features including prevention of “brute force” password guessing techniques.

For Mac users, we also supply a Mac compatible edition – the Integral Cryptodrive 256 bit Mac Edition

Although our fingerprint scanners are usually used for PC security, employee time and attendance, access control etc… Some of our customers represent custom jewellery makers, craftsmen, law enforcement, pawn brokers or artists – who want to scan a fingerprint image and save the image itself for various uses.

Saving a fingerprint scan:

Step 1 – Unbox the Hamster Plus and install the appropriate driver from the CD before you connect the device..

Step 2 – When prompted, connect the Hamster Plus to your PC with the attached USB cable – Then complete your installation

Step 3 – Click Start > Run – and type “SGDX” and select OK

Step 4 – This will load the diagnostic utility – select “Capture” to scan your fingerprint.. Then select “file” and “save to BMP”

Step 5 – Your image has been saved! Use any graphics program like paint or photoshop if you wish to convert it to another file type (eg/ JPG)

The image shown on this page was captured using the Secugen Hamster Plus scanner and converted to JPG for internet use. The Secugen Plus fingerprint scanner is available for just £69.95 (excl. VAT & delivery) from Eyenetwatch. Click here to view the product
