SekureID SID500 Access Control Reader Features Advanced Multispectral Fingerprint Technology
September 2013 by Marc Jacob
Lumidigm announced that the new SekureID SID500 access control reader, featuring Lumidigm’s V-Series multispectral fingerprint sensor, is a vital new solution for securing an organization’s physical and digital assets. The SekureID SID500, a standalone or networked biometric access control device, leverages advanced fingerprint and smart card technologies and is capable of determining who is an authorized user and who is not. It gives a company complete control over who goes where and when at all times. With wireless connectivity, the SID500 easily integrates with existing physical access systems and provides an enhanced layer of security through the use of Lumidigm’s biometric sensors and their industry-leading fake finger detection capability.
For customers who want to implement an assured authentication program using multiple credentials, the SID500 also ships with a built-in 125 KHz proximity card reader. This provides a second layer of security by requiring something users have in addition to biometrically verifying who they are.
With built-in wireless network connectivity, the SID500 can easily replace an existing “card only” access system. There is no need to run network cable to the SID500, making installation easy. The access control device also features a built-in Ethernet port which lets users immediately access web-based access control systems.
In addition, the SID500 is IP65 rated. The highly water resistant reader will work even in the rain and will maintain its performance levels even in these demanding conditions due to the unique capabilities of the Lumidigm sensor. The SID500 also provides a series of versatile interfaces that help customers meet almost any type of access control application or integration.
The new SID500 access control reader will be on display in SekureID’s Booth #412 at the Biometric Consortium Conference in the Tampa Convention Center September 17-19 and Booth #4908 at the ASIS Exhibition September 24-26 at Chicago’s McCormick Place.
