With the country gradually adopting biometrics in every walk of life, the Brazilian government decided to undertake an ambitious project in 2008 to eliminate chances of fraud in the driving tests conducted by the numerous driving institutes in the country. The project was undertaken by the Brazilian Dept. of Transport (DETRAN) and was based on fingerprint identification. It was first implemented in the Parana State in southern Brazil. The aim was to develop coming-of-age fingerprint live-scan systems, to be installed in every driving institute, to successfully scan and verify the attendees' fingerprints. The project has been a pioneer in checking fraudulent measures being adopted during driving tests. The live-scan systems served the purpose of fingerprint identification, fingerprint access control, and fingerprint attendance at the same time.
The scanning surface of Futronic FS80 is made of crown glass of thickness 14 mm and is more rigid than the usual optical type or semi-conductor fingerprint scanners, thereby making it suitable for installations in public places. Further its CMOS sensor technology ensures distortion-free images at a high speed. The fingerprint readerdelivers high quality fingerprint images even from dry, scarred and wet fingers, all thanks to the 4 infra-red LEDs which have adjustable intensity. These LEDs improve the illumination of the system to a great extent.
Futronic FS80 USB Fingerprint Scanner supports all leading OS viz. Windows XP Home, Windows Vista or even MS Windows 2000. With an accuracy range of FAR-10-6 and FAR-10-2, the scanner ensures extremely accurate and distinct image.
Needless to say, these features of the fingerprint scanner make it suitable for a wide range of applications ranging from identification to access control to attendance calculations.
