#1. SecuGen sensors are amazingly durable and maintenance-free
The SecuGen sensor is well-known for its ruggedness and
solid engineering, as well as its virtually indestructible
sensor prism, which is made of a very hard quartz-like material
that resists scratches, stress and corrosion.
From the sensor surface to the internal lens and electronic
components, all aspects of the SecuGen sensor were carefully
designed and redesigned to work reliably and consistently
for even the most demanding applications.
SecuGen sensors were tested under extreme conditions and
have been proven to perform in high-traffic, outdoor and
other rough environments. They resist exposure to:
- Subfreezing, arid, and tropical climates
- Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
- Impact, vibration, and shock
- Scratches to sensor prism even from sharp objects
- Contaminants and corrosives such as sweat, dirt, oil
and cleaning agents
SecuGen sensors do not use any coatings or membranes, which are required by many semiconductor-based sensors and competitive optical sensors in the market in order to protect the delicate sensor components or to improve contact with the skin. Such coatings may be vulnerable to scratches and corrosion that can degrade the performance of the sensor over time and cause unexpected replacement or repair costs in the long run.
Additionally, the optic parts are tightly assembled so
that if the sensors are ever dropped, there is no need for
re-calibration, which is often necessary for smaller form-factor
optical sensors that use an intricate arrangement of mirrors
or lenses.
#2. SecuGen sensors are very accurate
SecuGen sensors produce very high accuracy rates. In an
independent
test of major biometric products, carried out by International
Biometric Group, SecuGen's sensor and algorithm achieved
0.0% false acceptance and 0.0% false rejection rates.
An innovative optic design yields practically distortion-free,
high-contrast images from which data points are used for
enrollment and matching. SecuGen's patented SEIR method
eliminates the majority of distortion and image quality
problems that are common to traditional optical sensors.
High quality images mean greater precision, less false
rejection, less false acceptance, and better overall performance.
#3. SecuGen sensors have the best quality guarantee and
warranty in the industry
SecuGen sensors are made with advanced quality control
techniques that further enhance the quality workmanship
and materials that go into every single sensor.
If there is any defect or fault in the performance of a SecuGen sensor product, we will gladly replace it for free within one year of purchase (three years for SecuGen Hamsters sold after Aug.1, 2006). SecuGen is committed to proactive, ongoing improvements in product development, manufacturing and QA processes with the goal of making the best quality fingerprint sensor in the market for all uses.
#4. SecuGen sensors are used all over the world
Years of real-world use, integration into thousands of
products, and use by real-world people have all proven the
quality and reliability of SecuGen sensors.
SecuGen's customers come from 60 different countries and include Fortune 500 companies, leading security and biometric companies, original equipment manufacturers, corporations, and government, financial, educational, and health care organizations.
#5. SecuGen sensors are supported by a wide range of platforms and biometric standards
Available in both stand-alone and PC-connectible configurations,
SecuGen has made it possible for SecuGen sensors to be integrated
into nearly any type of application based on a variety of
platforms in order to meet the specifications required by
you or your clients.
Software applications can be developed for use with SecuGen peripherals on: Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4, Windows Me, Windows 98, Windows 95, Windows CE, Windows CE .NET, Java, Sun Solaris, DOS, and various Linux platforms.
SecuGen technology also supports national biometric standards approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and developed by the InterNational Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). These national standards directly support U.S. Homeland Security legislation and are expected to reach international acceptance through the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
- ANSI/INCITS 378-2004, Finger Minutiae Format for Data Exchange
- ANSI/INCITS 358-2002, BioAPI Specification
- NIST Publication NISTIR 6529, Common Biometric Exchange File Format (CBEFF)
Extra Reason #6. SecuGen sensors are now better than ever
All SecuGen sensors in current products now feature second-generation
optic modules that work even better with dry and difficult-to-use
fingerprints, such as worn and aged skin, thanks to a higher
signal-to-noise ratio compared to earlier modules and improvements
to the performance of our algorithms.
