i.e. finger only, pin and finger, card or finger, card and finger, template on a card, etc.\u00a0 There are over 10 combinations.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Push technology<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In order to minimise network traffic and provide real-time update of transactions, the devices will \u201cpush\u201d their transactions to the server as they occur.\u00a0 While templates are being sent to the Virdi devices, users can continue to transact.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Optical Sensor (Patented)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The optical sensor has a patent on the angle of the prism which gives the optimal level of distortion for image capture.\u00a0 This means that the biometric image scanned on a Virdi Optical Sensor has a higher image quality than competitive products; furthermore the surface of the sensor is hardened and coated which makes it resistant to wear and tear including use in harsh environments.\u00a0 This has been field proven in a multitude of installation in Africa where some of the harshest environments exit and where abuse of technology is rife.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Interfaces<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Virdi Biometric Terminals are intelligent and available with a multitude of communication and interface ports.\u00a0 As standard they have TCP\/IP for template and data management, Wiegand 26 and 34 bit In and Out ports to connect third party RFID readers or connect to access control controllers, onboard relays with normally-open\/normally-closed terminals and motorised lock control, door status monitor, alarm panel I\/F and RS232\/485 ports.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Applications<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Virdi Biometric Terminals can either operate as standalone or networked\/server managed devices and incorporate the functionality required for Time and Access management and Canteen Control.\u00a0 Alternatively, they can simply emulate a card reader for interfaces to legacy systems.<br \/>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swiss surrealist artist H.R.
