Standalone or with an alarm system,
outstanding biometric reliability for
greater security for residential &
commercial accounts

3-Way “live” finger detection

High-security verification thwarts use by imposters using photocopies
and rubber impression fake fingers

Easy, fast, accurate fingerprint enrollment

Enrolls at keypad in approximately 5-seconds. (Also easy user deletions.)

Secure processing and storage on-board

All processing is done and stored securely within the unit. Includes
anti-substitution which prevents hacking or unauthorized keypad
replacement by retaining its own master code, enrolled in the panel
upon installation.

ready LEDs plus bio-feedback indicator

Stealth/Blanking Mode for no-show alarm status LEDs

Status is hidden after use, displayed only with an authorized user’s
fingerprint or code

Removable bio-optic reader privacy shield

Shield covers durable scratch-resistant optic glass, disguises operation

Superior 99% accurate false acceptance and false rejection

Bioreader has exceptional biometric reliability and accuracy to ensure
reliable use – even by those with fingerprints traditionally considered
hard to read, such as consumers with finer (poor quality) prints, or
people whose fingerprints are dry or worn such as people who garden,
manual laborers, elderly, etc. FAR (False Acceptance Rate) from .001 to
0% and FRR (False Rejection Rate) selectable 1.1 to 5.8% .

What security dealers like best about the Bioreader:

“Customers’ fingers are their keys or codes. Nothing to carry, lose or
memorize. It’s great with latchkey kids coming home or elderly clients.”

“5-second fingerprint enrollment right at Bioreader is so quick and easy”

“Stealth mode – Reveals alarm status only to authorized user without
arming/disarming first.”

“Also, alarm in memory is automatically displayed with LED indicator as a
precautionary warning to returning users before they enter.”

“Other-finger” ambush/silent alarm activation is very handy, whether it’s
their ring finger or index finger or their left hand vs. their right hand they
use for ambush -- they can’t leave home without it.”

“With one-touch of a finger my accounts can disarm their alarm and open
their electric garage door opener.”
