HandKeySection 5.3.5: Access Control – Hand Geometry ReadersFeaturesllllllWhen multiple HandKey unitsare linked together via RS-485or Ethernet, the unit’s built-intemplate management systemcan be used to distributehand imprints to other handreaders in the network. Thisallows users to enrol at onereader and then use otherreaders in the system withoutre-enrolmentIntegrated wall-mount designFlexible storage of templateon OmniClass/iCLASS cardseliminates need to maintaindatabases in individualreadersCard readers support 26-bitWiegand with other dataformats availableIntegrates into existingsystemsTo ensure system integrity,a tamper switch is built intothe reader. Tamper alarmsand other conditions such asverification refused, lock outand duress can be monitoredby the panel directly orthrough one of the HandKey’stwo auxiliary outputsHandKey Hand Geometry ReadersThe HandKey reader by Recognition Systems, Inc. utilises field proven hand geometrytechnology that maps and verifies the size and shape of a person’s hand in less than onesecond.The HandKey captures a three dimensional image of the hand using a 32,000 pixel image array. 90measurements, including the lengths, widths, thickness and surface area of the fingers and handare taken. An advanced algorithm determines the unique aspects of the hand and then generates anine-byte hand template. This template is then stored and used for subsequent comparisons. Dirt,cuts and abrasions on the hand have no impact on accuracy.The HandKey CR is specifically designed to work in conjunction with card based access controlsystems. This makes adding biometric security to critical access points fast, simple and seamlessfor both new and existing systems. The HandKey CR without integrated card reader and theHandKey CR with HID proximity can store up to 512 cardholder templates in the unit. The HandKeyCR with an integrated OmniClass/iCLASS reader stores cardholder templates on their cards,protecting cardholder privacy and eliminating the need to store and update cardholder databasesin individual HandKey CR readers. The storage of the template on the card allows the reader tosupport an unlimited number of cardholders.The HandKey II provides the security and convenience at an affordable price, even when comparedto cardbased systems. Because a hand is the card, HandKey II allows access only to authorisedpeople without the hassles of a card or key. By eliminating cards, administrative costs are reducedwhile greatly increasing the level of security. Users appreciate the convenience of never worryingabout keeping track of a card or key.SECTION 5: page 42
