MobileID

™ is an easy-to-use, wireless, automated, client/server fingerprint identification system for law enforcement officers and other personnel. Running on a commercially-available Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) device such as Pocket PC®, Cogent’s power of an Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) in a portable handheld format. When combined with latest portable capture device, perform in-the-field fingerprint identifications.

Y ou can simply have a subject place his/her finger onto a fingerprint capture device for fast and easy identification. The software provides you with an assortment of tools for viewing, identifying, and saving records, allowing a one-to-one comparison of existing fingerprint records to verify identity.

MobileID

is not stand alone software; it works together with the (LACRIS Automated Fingerprint Identification System) database, accessible from a PDA in the field.

In order for the two Bluetooth-enabled devices to communicate with each other, you must perform Bluetooth pairing. When this is accomplished, the two devices join what is called a trusted pair relationship. When one device recognizes another device in an established trusted pair, each device automatically accepts communication, bypassing the discovery and authentication process that normally happen during Bluetooth interactions.
