PREFACE

Iris Reader BM-ET330E is used in an access control system. The iris reader, which captures a user's iris image, is available for
following uses.

• As an enrollment iris reader 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 reader 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 5 025 users can enroll their iris data. *

1

*1For iris data enrollment, you need to install the optional Administration Software BM-ES330E. The PC needs to have

Microsoft

®

Windows®operating system installed.
The total number of users that can be enrolled differs depending on the total licence numbers of the User Licence Software
BM-EU30000E Series.

•As a recognition iris reader for iris recognition

Iris data of up to 1 000 users can be distributed from the iris server to iris readers. If the iris data of user has been distrib­uted to a recognition iris reader, or if a card reader (connected to a recognition iris reader) reads the iris data out of a card,
the iris reader 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 iris reader.

*2The recognition time may differ

depending on capturing condi­tions.

*

3

The iris reader 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

Refer to BM-ES330E User’s
Manual (supplied with
Administration Software BM­ES330E) for details on available
cards and card writers.

*

5

Capturing diagnosis is made
by the administration software
at the time of enrollment.

*

6

Refer to BM-ET330E Operating
Instructions for details on card
readers.

*

7

The user is recognized with the iris data of either eye.

*

8

Up to 256 iris readers (enrollment and recognition iris readers) 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 the left eye differs from that of the right eye.

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

• In the iris recognition process, the users are recognized with the enrolled iris data.

Enrollment

Recognition

For enrollment*

8

Captures iris images of both eyes, generates iris data from

the iris images, and enrolls the iris data in the iris server. *

If a card writer is connected to the iris server, iris data
enrolled in the iris server can be written into a card.

For recognition*

8

(1) Captures the iris images of both eyes.
(2) Recognizes a user by checking the iris
images with the iris data (that is distributed
to the iris reader or that is read out by the
card reader*6 connected to the iris reader). *

(3) Indicates the recognition result.

Iris server

If no corresponding iris data
has been found in
the iris reader, the iris reader
accesses the administration
software to execute server
certification.

Enrolled iris data is distributed
to iris readers.

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 reader, 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 reader 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*

1

This iris reader 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 iris reader or that read out by the card reader connected to the iris
reader. If the iris data of either eye is corresponding with the iris data that is distributed or that is read out, you will be rec­ognized as an enrolled user. The recognition time will be approx. 1.5 seconds.*

1

If no corresponding iris data is found in the recognition iris reader, the iris reader 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.*

2

*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 reader 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 reader, you can record only users that have not
been recognized.

• Access control system can be composed.

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

3

, and electric locks*3, etc.

*

3

These devices are independent to BM-ET330E.

• Supporting a common access control interface

Recognition result outputs support Wiegand/RS-485*4, which is one of the interfaces commonly used for access control
systems. Any access control panel supporting the Wiegand/RS-485 interface can be directly connected to the iris reader.
The iris reader also has a Wiegand/RS-485 input. Any card reader supporting the Wiegand/RS-485 interface can be direct­ly connected to the iris reader for composing an access control system.

*

4

Our exclusive protocol is employed.

•Recognition is available using a card that includes iris data

By using the iris server and a card writer, you can write the iris data of user into a card. When the user passes the card
through the card reader connected to an iris reader, recognition is available.
(Refer to BM-ET330E Operating Instructions for details on available card readers.)
