HONEYWELL has released the new OmniAssure biometric reader, part of the OmniAssure contactless smartcard reader range.
The reader provides a fingerprint solution for up to two fingerprints on a 1k Mifare card.
According to the company, enrolment is easy without software. The enrolment card is supplied with the reader to store the fingerprint template on the user's card and up to two fingerprints can be stored on the standard Mifare card.
There is no need for extra RS485 data lines to connect multiple fingerprint readers for fingerprint template database sharing, which saves costs and installation time.
The reader communicates via the Wiegand interface and is applicable on virtually any access control panel using Wiegand.
According to the company, the flash-on-card design ensures OmniAssure readers are the easiest to use in today's market as the reader's flash firmware can be easily updated to support changing needs in security without removing the readers from the wall.
