PREFACE
Iris Camera BM-ET300AE 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. *
1
*1For iris data enrollment, you need to install the optional Administration Software BM-ES300AE 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.*
2
The user can check the recognition
result with the result indicator (ACCEPT/REJECT) on the front panel of the camera.
2
*
The recognition time may differ depending on capturing conditions.
3
*
The iris camera captures the iris images of both eyes at the same time, but the iris data of each eye is enrolled separately.
Enrollment/recognition by one
eye capturing is also available.
4
*
Capturing diagnosis is made
by the administration software
at the time of enrollment.

The user is recognized with the

iris data of either eye.
6
*
Up to 256 iris cameras (enrollment and recognition cameras)
can be connected to the iris
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
Enrolled iris data is distributed
to iris cameras.

Captures the iris images of both eyes and
recognize a user by checking the iris
images with the iris data distributed.*
If no corresponding iris data
has been found in
the iris camera, the camera

software to execute server
certification.

•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 colour 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-ET300AE.
• 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.

DOCUMENT CONVENTION
These operating instructions use the following convention when describing the use and operation of the camera.
Administration Software: Panasonic Administration Software BM-ES300AE (This software is sold separately, however, it must
be used in combination with iris cameras.)
This software is used for administering iris enrollment/recognition. The total number of users that can be enrolled differs
depending on the total license numbers of User License Software BM-EU30000E Series (This software is sold separately,
however, it must be used in combination with iris cameras.).
Distribution: To transfer enrolled data from the iris server to iris cameras and to save the data in the cameras
Enrollment: To save a user's iris data associated with the individual information (name and ID data, etc.) in the iris server
Iris data is enrolled using the administration software.

• Replacement part
Exchange the following parts for the same type.
F1: K5D402BK0002
• Adopting tamper-proof structure.
Refer to service personnel for relocating or servicing
the unit.
As the unit has been designed in tamper-proof structure, buzzer sound will be activated with alarm notification when you try to open the front cover or detach the
camera from the wall. Then, recognition will become
unavailable, the alarm notification will also be sent to
the iris server, and the stored data may be erased from
the unit.
• Use of near-infrared ray
Near-infrared ray is used when iris data are captured
by the unit. The near-infrared ray is compliant with the
radiological safety standard of IEC60825-1.
•Indication label
Refer to the indication placed on the bottom of the
product as to the indications of equipment classification
and power source, etc.
• This product is not designed to prevent theft.

entrance/gate security, you must use the product
together with other security system or devices including
electric locks.
Panasonic is NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CRIME OR
TROUBLE CAUSED BY USING THIS UNIT.
•In some cases, recognition or enrollment doesn’t
work properly.
It could be invalid in recognition or enrollment when the
camera has difficulty in getting iris information due to
dirt in front of lens, reflection of glasses or insufficiency
of physical requirement.
• Iris data is a nature of privacy.
Take enough care not to leak the data out of the iris
server. It is also recommended that you should get an
agreement from a person to register his or her data.
