The Fingerscan V20 is so simple to use--enter your ID number through the integrated keypad or optional proximity reader, and with a touch of your finger, you're in. The unique, ergonomic integration of the proximity reader allows the card and finger to be read simultaneously in a fast, single presentation. Simple to integrate, the Fingerscan V20 slips into any existing or planned access control system using Wiegand protocol, including proximity. You can also use the reader in a standalone mode to completely control and monitor a doorway. In this mode, no additional controller hardware is required. And the Fingerscan V20’s low cost makes it truly simple to justify for almost any application.

What could be more convenient than one-touch access? With the Fingerscan V20, you no longer have to waste time and money administering lost or forgotten cards. Your finger is your “key.” Enrollment is also fast and simple requiring only a single touch of your finger. Networking multiple Fingerscan V20 units allows users to enroll conveniently at any reader in the system. The user's biometric information is sent to the other units automatically. Networking can be accomplished via the RS485 standard or by using optional low-cost Ethernet or dial-up modem communications.

The uniqueness of each person's finger provides true security. Unlike keys or cards, a person's finger can't be lost or stolen, ensuring that only the right people are granted access. Since security demands can vary widely from nuclear plants to health clubs, the Fingerscan V20 provides adjustable security thresholds at both the system and user level. The reader can be easily tuned to fit the exact security requirements of your particular application and users.

The Fingerscan V20 features ID Safe biometric technology from Identicator, a division of Identix. ID Safe technology is already being used in hundreds of thousands of personal computers throughout the world to ensure convenient and secure PC and network log-on. Over 50 million people have been enrolled using ID Safe systems, making this technology one of the most widely used on the planet.

Incorporating ID Safe technology into Identix access control products provides the first step toward “universal access”--an Enterprise-wide program that allows people to conveniently and securely access everything from the network to the front door, all with the touch of a finger. As access control increasingly becomes part of the corporate enterprise, Identix is uniquely positioned to leverage this connection. Our Information Technology and Access Control products work together offering you with the ultimate in convenience and security using the ultimate universal credential, your fingerprint.
