Devices & hardware

The hardware, and honest expectations about it.

Software demonstrations are easy. What determines whether a biometric deployment survives its second year is whether the devices are the right ones, whether spares exist in country, and whether somebody can fix a scanner in Abraka on a Tuesday. This page is about that.

What we supply

Model selection depends on your verification points, your population and the conditions the devices will actually live in. The current specification sheet, with models, throughput figures and supply arrangements, is issued on request rather than published — because the honest answer changes with availability.

Registration point

The enrolment station

The booth is one enclosure doing the two things that decide whether a register holds: it photographs the person to a consistent specification, and it captures their fingerprints, at the moment they are standing in front of you.

Enclosing it is the point. Registration halls are lit by whatever is overhead and whatever comes through the window, and a photograph taken under those conditions is the one that fails on a card printer six weeks later, or fails to match a face at a gate two years later. Inside the booth the light, the distance and the background are the same for every person who steps in — so is the record.

It runs attended or self-service, carries the institution’s own branding, and shows the subject their own capture on screen while it happens, which is the cheapest way to stop a poor photograph from ever reaching the register.

No forced replacement

Bring your own hardware

Where an institution already owns readers, printers or gate hardware, Biolog integrates with compatible devices rather than requiring replacement. Send us the model numbers and we will tell you plainly what works, what works with a driver, and what does not.

The second year

Supply, spares and service

  • In-country supply and spares holding
  • Warranty terms, confirmed per device category at contract
  • Maintenance and replacement service levels — see Deployment & support
  • Consumables — cards, ribbons, cleaning kits — supplied on standing order
Let’s build you a solution

See Biolog running against your own process.

A working session with our team, not a slide deck. Bring your enrolment volumes, your verification points and your awkward edge cases. We will show you how Biolog handles them.
