PREFACE

Iris Camera BM-ET300 is used in an access control system. The iris camera, which captures a user's iris image, is available for
following uses.

• As an enrollment camera for iris image capturing and iris server enrollment

To activate iris recognition, it is necessary to capture the iris images of a user and enroll the iris data in the iris server.
An iris camera generates iris data from iris images captured, and transfers the data to the iris server in the LAN (Local Area
Network). The iris data is enrolled in the iris database of the iris server. Up to 5 000 users can enroll their iris data. *

*1For iris data enrollment, you need to install the optional Administration Software BM-ES300E and User License Software

BM-EU30000E Series onto a PC. The PC needs to have Microsoft® Windows® operating system installed.
The total number of users that can be enrolled differs depending on the total license numbers of the User License Software
BM-EU30000E Series.

•As a recognition camera for iris recognition

Iris data of up to 1 000 users can be distributed from the iris server to iris cameras. If the iris data of a user has been dis­tributed to iris cameras, the cameras can recognize the user in approx. 1.5 seconds.*

The user can check the recognition

result with the result indicator (ACCEPT/REJECT) on the front panel of the camera.

server in the LAN.

• Iris recognition technology is a way to identify a person with iris patterns (an iris is the thin plate-shaped film in front of the
eyeball), which differ among each person. The iris pattern of the left eye differs from that of the right eye.

• Using iris cameras, users can carry out recognition without touching any devices.

• The iris data of users need to be enrolled in the iris server. In the iris recognition process, the users are recognized with the
enrolled iris data.

FEATURES

• Automatic guidance and recognition by voice guidance and guide indicator

When a user is within 50 cm {1.64 ft.} of the front of an iris camera, the voice guidance will start. Moving to the point where
the user can see both eyes in the mirror according to the voice guidance or guide indicator, the user's iris images will be
automatically captured and the user will be recognized from the iris data. The recognition range of the iris camera is
between approx. 30 cm {0.98 ft.} and 40 cm {1.32 ft.}

• One-time capturing of both eyes enables recognition in approx. 1.5 seconds*

This iris camera captures the iris images of both eyes at the same time, generates iris data from the iris images, and com­pares the data with that distributed to the recognition camera. If either of the iris data is corresponding with the iris data
distributed, you will be recognized as an enrolled user. The recognition time will be approx. 1.5 seconds.*
If no corresponding iris data is found in the recognition camera, the camera will transfer the data to the iris server. The iris
server will compare the transferred iris data with those enrolled in the iris database for certification. (In this document, the
certification by the iris server is called "server certification".) The recognition time will be approx. 10 seconds.*

*1The recognition time may differ depending on capturing conditions.

2

*

The recognition time may differ depending on the traffic of the network or the total number of the enrolled users.

• Built-in video surveillance camera

The iris camera has a built-in minisize color camera. You can record the facial image of a user by connecting this camera
and a recorder. Using the recognition result outputs (REJECT) of the iris camera, you can record only users that have not
been recognized.

• Access control system can be composed.

Iris cameras and the iris server can compose an access control system in combination with access control panels*3, card
readers*

3

These devices are independent to BM-ET300.

*

• Supporting a common access control interface

Recognition result outputs support Wiegand, which is one of the interfaces commonly used for access control systems.
Any access control panel supporting the Wiegand interface can be directly connected to the iris camera. The camera also
has a Wiegand input. Any card reader supporting the Wiegand interface can be directly connected to the iris camera for
composing an access control system.

Front/Rear tamper detection switch

These switches protect the internal data and setup data
of the iris camera. While the front cover is properly
closed, the front tamper detection switch is pressed
and the camera is in the “normal operation” mode.
While the iris camera is attached to the wall, the rear
tamper detection switch is pressed and the camera is
in the “normal operation" mode.

If the front cover is opened or the iris camera is
removed from the wall, while the power is on, the
front/rear tamper detection switch will be activated and
the iris camera enters the "tamper detection" mode.
When the switch becomes activated, the tamper detec­tion buzzer will work and the iris server will be notified
that the iris camera has entered the “tamper detection"
mode. At the same time, an alarm signal will be output
from the alarm output2 (tamper detection) terminal on
the connection terminal. (The iris data will be erased
from the iris camera.) If the tamper detection mode is
not cancelled in a given time, the setup data and oper­ation software will be erased from the iris camera. In
this case, it is necessary to retry the setup, as the iris
camera will be set to the factory default.

When either of the front/rear tamper detection switch
works, the iris camera enters the “tamper detection”
mode. This mode can be cancelled by setting Setup
switch 3 to ON. (Cancel the “tamper detection” mode
before connections or setup by referring p. 12.) After
setup, when the cover is closed after Setup switch is

should be accommodated to the specifications of an
access control panel and card reader, which are connect­ed to the iris camera.

Bit Length: The bit length of data, which is received

from a card reader and which is transferred to an
access control panel, is set. 26 to 128 is available.

Pulse Width: The pulse width of the signal received/

transferred. 30, 40 or 50 µs is available.

Pulse Interval: The pulse interval of the signal

received/transferred. 1.0, 1.5, or 2.0 ms is available.

Output 2 (Rejected Signal): If "Yes" is selected, pulse

signal will be output from recognition result output 2
(REJECT) terminal, when recognition is not suc­cessfully completed. If "No" is selected, the pulse
signal will not be output.

Live indicator: This parameter determines the opera-

tion status of live indicator. Off, Blinking, or On is
available.

tion camera.

Enrollment: The iris camera is used as an enroll-

ment camera.

Reject ID: The data, which is output to an access con-

trol panel when recognition is not successfully com­pleted, is entered in a hexadecimal number. When
entering the number, exclude the parity bit (2 bits).
For example, when bit length is set to 26, enter the
reject ID in 24 bits. (For the setting parameter, refer
to the specifications of an access control panel,
which is connected to the iris camera.)

• Other Setting Parameters

Server Certification: This parameter determines

whether to carry out server certification.

Yes: The iris camera will contact the iris server.
No: The iris camera will not contact the iris server.

Audio Mode: This parameter determines which of voice

guidance, shutter sound, and recognition result to
output.

Mute: Nothing is output.
Simple: Shutter sound and recognition result are

output.

Security Level: This parameter determines how to save

the iris data distributed to the iris camera. It is
strongly recommended that High be selected.

High: The distributed iris data will be erased when

the power supply to the iris camera is shut
down. Iris recognition cannot be carried out
until the power is supplied and iris data is dis­tributed to the camera again.

Normal: The distributed iris data will be saved even

after the power supply to the iris camera is shut
down. Iris recognition can be carried out
regardless of the connection between the cam­era and iris server.

Access log: This parameter determines whether to

notify the recognition result (ACCEPT or REJECT) to
the iris server.

Yes: The access log is notified to the iris server.
No: The access log is not notified to the iris server.
