fingerprint scanner from ievo

ievo biometric fingerprint entry readers have been developed over a number of years into the  product we see today.

ievo have designed their fingerprint readers to fit seamlessly into existing card and fob systems making use of the original manufacturers controllers.The fingerprint scanners are able to use the wiegand inputs to send data and information to the existing controllers in the form of IP/data. The fingerprint scanner easily replaces existing card or fob readers thus making the entry point infinitely more secure. The clever design gives installers of access control the opportunity to revisit existing clients and  offer an excellent alternative to traditional methods of secure entry in the form of biometrics.

10 best features of the ievo biometric fingerprint entry scanner.

1) Great aesthetics.

2) Vandal resistant.

3) Reliable.

4) Surface or flush mounted.

5) Comes in various colours to suit the environment.

6) Reads whatever the weather.

7) User friendly.

8 ) Integrates into 3rd party access control systems.

9) IP 65 rated and talks via IP.

10) Paxton compatible.

Great video from the ievo boys, really liked the demonstration where it actually reads under water. Lets be honest water, rain and fingerprint scanners do not normally go together…………well here is the exception to the rule!!

Biometric finger print reader

Biometric fingerprint readers.

Biometric finger print readers are undoubtedly the future of access control. The traditional methods of access control solutions uses either fobs , proximity cards or key codes. All of these suffer from one basic floor, they are all easily compromised.

Security floor.

Quite simply , a code can be told to anyone , a card and fob passed to a friend or colleague. Of course its not always that easy as access control software does have some basic security functions to recognise misuse. However, ultimately once this is discovered the system has already been compromised and quite simply this is not acceptable .

Total security.

So how does the biometric fingerprint reader protect against this. Well we  all have a unique fingerprint , this cannot be replicated, so the person presenting their fingerprint data is the person who is genuinely allowed through the door.

Why use anything else?

Why have businesses not adopted this means of entry before then? Well they have tried , but  biometric readers are to say the least unreliable, dirt, dust and rain all affect the quality of of the data being read from the fingerprint and to be fair they are very slow. Fingerprint data takes a lot of processing power to ensure it is correct and standing outside a door for 3 or four seconds may not seem a long time but on well used doors it is untenable

Integrated access control solution.

So has anything changed? Well yes, companies know it is the way forward and in the last couple of years big steps have been taken to improve the technology.  iEVO are one such company that has now produced a full proof solution. By integrating their technology with partner companies such as Paxton we see a fast, full proof solution.

They actually save money!

large organisations that get through numerous employees and vast numbers of cards will see huge savings by migrating to biometric solutions. It will not be long before these fingerprint readers are common place and we will all soon get used to fast effective entry solution. Best of all, we carry the key on our own person.

iEVO biometric fingerprint door entry reader

Biometric access control solution.

Access control solutions are continuously evolving and Biometric readers are no exception. Using fingerprint technology vastly improves door entry security and nullifies the risk of cards being passed to to third parties. Frequently however in the past Biometrics have been unreliable and slow.

Fingerprint Reader.

iEVO  though have a team of people that have developed a product that addresses many of the problems that have plagued fingerprint readers in the past. With the added benefit of the ability to integrate into Paxton access controllers the partnership makes for a successful formula.

Good design.

The iEVO is an IP device and is minimalistic in design. It is user friendly and vandal resistant. Designed to be used both internally and externally it is IP65 rated and can be flush or surface mounted .

So whats the secret of reliability.

Well by using a technology called Multi spectral imaging  the reader is able to obtain fingerprints through dust, dirt water and oils. An impressive demonstration of the unit also proved it could actually see through light latex gloves as well.

Benefits.

The ergonomics of the unit mean that it fits in well into building design making it a favorite with architects .  It also has a thermostat heated sensor when being used externally and includes wiegand outputs for interfacing and is networkable.

Conclusion.

It seems the iEVO team have pretty much though of everything here, you can even buy the units in different colours. If you have used this biometric solution please let us have your feedback . However having been demonstrated this unit we would recommend you take iEVO biometric readers into consideration to help increase security for your door entry systems.
