Low cost, easy to use fingerprint scanner hopes to be game changer
iEvo has just introduced a low cost, easy to install fingerprint scanner that can accurately scan fingerprints through dust, dirt, water, grease, and even latex gloves; the U.K.-based company has specifically designed the technology with the needs of consumers in mind; its features emphasize easy installation, low maintenance, and aesthetics to appeal to designers, installers, as well as safety officials; the company believes that poorly designed early fingerprint technology that did not cater to the end user hampered the industry
iEvo, a U.K.-based company, recently announced the launch of its new fingerprint identification scanner that it says will change how people and businesses perceive biometric technology.
The technology itself is advanced, able to accurately scan fingerprints through dust, dirt, water, grease, and even latex gloves, but iEvo is focusing most on its design.
Carefully crafted after eighteen months of research and development, where iEvo listened to the needs of end users, installers, and integrators, their latest fingerprint reader aims to satisfy consumers’ requirements.
According to Shaun Oakes, director of iEvo, “we took the decision to commit resources to research with end-users, then to perfecting the technology they required to put their faith back into biometrics. It has been a long road but the end result is a low cost biometric reader with aesthetic appeal, reliability and ease of installation.”
The iEvo reader can be custom manufactured in any color in an effort to appeal to designers and architects. The creators of iEvo also emphasize its functionality, low cost, and ease of use with its basic electrical installation requirements, minimal maintenance, and “work out of the box” design.
The scanner can be “seamlessly” integrated into all existing card and fob systems using industry wide inputs designed for verification technologies, to connect to the original manufacturers’ controllers.
Oakes believes that poorly designed early finger print technology has hampered the industry.
“The biometric security sector has suffered over the past ten years from early adoption of technology that was not quite fit for purpose, meaning high installation and maintenance costs.” As a result, “biometric technology has not been one hundred percent trusted worldwide,” he said.
iEvo hopes that their latest generation of fingerprint scanners will fill the critical gaps that it perceives in the current fingerprint identification market today.
