The fingerprint is the most widely used biometric modality for identity authentication and verification due to its speed, ease-of-use, high accuracy, security and cost-effective nature.
HID is the market leader behind today’s exceptional fingerprint technologies. Our fingerprint readers and modules are successfully deployed globally to solve real-world identity authentication challenges and to protect businesses.
HID offers a variety of fingerprint technologies featuring varying image capture methods, security features, form factors and industry certifications. These fingerprint devices capture detailed images for enhanced template creation, matching, and presentation attack detection (PAD) and are compliant with an extensive range of biometric standards.
Whatever your use case, our lineup ensures we have a solution to meet your needs.
Optical fingerprint technology is the most mature and cost-effective for all types of use cases. The HID DigitalPersona® optical USB desktop readers and OEM modules come in a compact footprint to fit in most desktop or shared workstation settings as well as a full FAP 20 and FAP 30 version to meet government requirements.
Capacitive fingerprint readers are power efficient, well suited to battery-operated devices, and less prone to fake finger attempts. They also perform well in all lighting conditions, making them a good choice for indoor or outdoor use. The HID capacitive EikonTouch readers and TouchChip OEM modules are built in a small form factor and with durable materials, ideal for high-traffic environments such as governments, retail POS, healthcare and multi-user applications.
Multispectral imaging (MSI) is an HID-patented technology capable of collecting the most difficult fingerprints in the most challenging environments. HID’s Lumidigm® MSI readers collect both the surface and subsurface fingerprint data using multiple colors of light from different angles for superior matching accuracy and liveness detection.
Our mobile wonder, the HID NOMAD™ 30 Pocket Reader and Module, are built with TFT technology to ensure high-quality image capture regardless of environment and lighting conditions. Low power consumption and an ultra-slim, lightweight design make TFT-based devices ideal for in-the-field mobile identification.
