Established in 1999, Union Community develops,
markets and distributes award winning biometric and
RFID products for access control, time &
attendance, door locks, pc security and the OEM market. Its client’s
and partners include ADT Caps, Samsung , Assa Aboly(Mul-T-lock),
Tyco(ADT), Honeywell, ADI, Chubb, DSC, Miya, Aiphone, Norbain, MarksUSA
and many more.
With sales of over 200 000 biometric
products each year and a majority share of the Korean domestic market,
Virdi Biometric Technology is a premium brand offering a comprehensive
product range with superior technology and very competitive pricing.
Some
of the key features common to all the Virdi Biometric Products are:
Live
& Fake Finger detection
A
patented three tiered approach incorporating IR scanning technology
with the ability to identify the material the fingerprint is made of
(chemical composition) such as Silicon, Rubber, Paper, Plastic, Gel,
etc. A Capacitive Sensor built into the Optical Scanner to measure
electrical discharge and intelligent algorithm to measure and compare
image distortion.
Automatic Finger Scan
The
Optical Scanner has a built in Capacitance Sensor to identify when a
human finger is placed on the scanner and automatically start scanning
the fingerprint. This has two advantages; it ensures that only human
fingers are scanned and it assists with power saving, as the Optical
Scanner does not need to be illuminated all the time.
Patented
Search Algorithm
Incredibly fast and accurate template
matching algorithm will complete a 1:1 match in less than .5 of a
second, and a 1:N match for 1000 users in less than 1 second.
Registration
& Authentication levels set by
User
Each
User can be enrolled and thereafter verified using custom registration
and verification levels which have been individually configured to
improve the scan rate of poorly defined fingerprints
Number
of Enrolled fingers set by User
Each User can load between 1 and 5
fingerprints on the biometric terminal. The database can accommodate
the enrolment of up to 10 fingers and can be set to check that similar
fingers do not exist in the database.
Transaction Options Set by User
Each
User can have their transaction methods individually assigned. I.e.
Finger only, Pin + Finger, Card or Finger, Card &
Finger etc. There are 10 combinations.
Templates Stored in device memory
and/or on the server
When each User or Visitor is loaded on
the biometric template management software, the operator can assign the
User to be authenticated at all or only specific Virdi devices and can
either download the User to the device for local authentication or
store the template only in the application database for Server
authentication, this helps to ensure that terminals do not get “clogged
up” with out of date templates.
Push Technology
In order to minimize network traffic
and provide a “real-time” update of transactions, the devices will
“Push” their transactions to the Server as they occur. While templates
are being sent to the Virdi devices, Users can continue to transact.
Optical
Sensor (Patented
The Optical Sensor has a patent on the
angle of the prism which gives the optimal level of distortion for
image capture. This means that the biometric image scanned on a Virdi
Optical Scanner has a higher image quality than competitive products;
furthermore the surface of the sensor is hardened and coated which
makes it resistant to wear and tear including use in harsh
environments. This has been field proven in a multitude of
installations in Africa where some of the harshest environments exist
and where abuse of technology is rife.
Interfaces
The Virdi Biometric Terminals are
intelligent and available with a multitude of communication and
interface ports. As standard they have TCP/IP for Template and Data
management, Wiegand 26 & 34bit IN
& OUT ports to connect 3rd
Party RFID Readers or Connect to Access Control Controllers, On Board
Relays with NO/NC and Motorised Lock Control, Door Status Monitor,
Alarm Panel I/F and RS323/485 Ports.
Applications
The Virdi Biometric Terminals can
either operate as stand-alone or networked / Server managed devices and
incorporate the functionality required for Time & Access Management, Canteen Control,
alternatively they can simply emulate a card reader for interfaces to
legacy systems.
