Hi Calum,
Thanks for pointing that
out. I
must have got the price for the Biologon 2 SDK, the guy had no idea when I
asked
him if it was Identification Edition, so I wasn't about to try and have a
conversation about it - I don't even know if he knew what SDK meant. IMHO,
high
security is not really an issue with the intended applications - well, I
can't
speak for the rest of you, but all I want to use it for is keeping my
sister out
of my room :D so I don't think a six-year-old is going to foil it - it took
her
weeks to realise that it wasn't just a glowing button - she couldn't
understand
why it let me into the windowstation and not her. lol. Of course, your
point is
quite valid, but it depends what you want to use it for.
Arrivederchi,
Lee Edward Causier.

aaaargh!!!!
I haven't been following this thread
for
some reason ... but I can set a few things straight for you.
Lee is
right, the BioLogin SDK gives you the APIs and specs to use it in almost
anyway you see fit. I'm not sure what version of the SDK you were looking
at
though Lee, the Bannerbridge reseller price lists the SDK for v3
biologin
as £380 +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 external 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 from Siemens
Infineon sensor or Precise Biometrics range would be more suitable. 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 £1k ... 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.
