TDSi Ltd - TDSi Launches Palm Vein Reader
Access control specialist, TDSi, has launched
PalmGarde, one of the first physical access control
products to incorporate Fujitsu’s PalmSecureä sensor.
Palm vein recognition technology was developed by
Fujitsu to help combat the increasing incidence of
financial fraud and forgery, plaguing many financial
institutions in Japan, at a cost to the economy of
millions of Yen.
Unlike fingerprints, which change during childhood, the
palm vein pattern is established in the womb and is
constant throughout a person’s life. Working on
near-infrared light, PalmGarde reads and processes the
palm vein pattern, which, as it lies underneath the
epidermis, can’t be distorted by damage to the skin,
age, or the wearing of gloves.
With ever increasing demands for accurate biometric
identification tools, PalmGarde delivers extraordinarily
high standards of accuracy. Boasting a false rejection
rate of 0.01% and a false acceptance rate of less than
0.00008%, the PalmSecureä sensor offers a highly secure
technology, with considerable advantages over other
biometric technologies.
Commenting on the launch, TDSi’s Managing Director, John
Davies, said: “We have worked closely with Fujitsu to
develop this truly exceptional product. PalmGarde offers
a great combination of improved security, high
performance, reduced cost of operation and user friendly
performance. Combined with our eXguard Pro software, it
represents a great solution for building owners,
security professionals and installers”.
PalmGarde delivers true contact-free biometric
technology, offering a hygienic, user-friendly solution
appropriate for any public area; particularly those
within a healthcare environment. The user simply places
the palm of their hand over the reader, which in turn
scans and attempts to match it against the template
database
Fully scaleable, PalmGarde has an external reader input,
making it capable of being added to an existing access
control system without the need to replace equipment;
alternatively, the reader may be used in a single door
application, operating as a fully independent, stand
alone unit. Supporting all of the main industry standard
reader interfaces, the reader may be connected to the
majority of access control units, making it truly
universal.
