OTHER  FAQ

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) includes answers to the most interesting or the most frequently asked questions concerning the biometric fingerprint Access Control and/or Time and Attendance systems [BIOFINGER-AC/T&A].

1. Does any injury to a fingertip affect the quality of work of a biometric fingerprint scanner?

Gentle fingertip injuries, i.e. light cuts or other fingerprint damages do not cause any problems with correct and quick reading and verification of the digital fingerprint image.

Serious fingertip injuries, i.e. deep incision, splitting of the fingertip can cause potential problems with proper reading and verification of a digital fingerprint image.

2. Can biometric fingerprint readers work outside in different weather conditions?

Permissible temperatures for effective work of the biometric fingerprint reader (electronic modules), depending on the manufacturer, range from -15°C to +60°C.

Air humidity for biometric fingerprint reader, depending on the manufacturer, ranges from 5% to 90%.

Optical fingerprint scanner:

Permissible temperatures for effective data storage, depending on the manufacturer, range from -40°C to +60°C.

Permissible temperatures for effective operations, i.e. reading the digital fingerprint images, depending on the manufacturer, range from 0°C to +40°C.

The casing of the biometric fingerprint readers does not have a sufficient degree of IP protection; therefore they cannot be installed outside in Polish weather conditions.
