Re: BioLogin 3 & Compaq Fingerprint Readers

["Calum Morrell" <calum@xxxxxxx>]

aaaargh!!!!

I haven't been following this thread for some reason ... but I can set a fe= w things straight for you.

Lee is right, the BioLogin SDK gives you the APIs and specs to use it in al= most anyway you see fit. I'm not sure what version of the SDK you were look= ing at
though Lee, the Bannerbridge reseller price lists the SDK for v3 biologin a= s =A3380 +VAT RRP ... if anyone is seriously interested in getting hold of = the SDK, I can
find out how much I can get it for.

Also, I would advise caution against Identix DFR-200/300 scan units for ext= ernal or high security access, the scan nature means it is possible to fool= them with
the right type of photograph of a valid fingerprint. Possibly something fro= m Siemens Infineon sensor or Precise Biometrics range would be more suitabl= e. I don't
have a cost for the PB SDK to hand, but can easily find out.

Just thought I'd mention that both Identix and Precise Biometrics have door= entry units for around =A31k ... possibly just a little more than you want= to spend? :-) Go
check out the mpg on PBs site for their door entry unit ... really snazzy.<= BR>
