EdTech Show Daily Monday, June 25, 2018 1 8 SecuRam SmartEntry with Waterproof Finger Vein ID Technology SecuRam Systems, a leader in electronic security, is pleased to introduce SecuRam SmartEntry front door lock incorporating the latest biometric authentication – Finger Vein ID. Finger Vein ID technology goes well beyond fingerprint scanning – it analyzes the blood vessel or vascular pattern below the epidermal layer of your finger and then using its unique matching algorithm, validates entry to only enrolled users. One of the great deficiencies associ- ated with fingerprint biometrics has been its inability to work in outdoor condi- tions. With its invention of waterproof Finger Vein ID, SecuRam has delivered the absolute security of advanced biometric access to virtually any installation condition. Finger Vein ID was already a remarkable advance; SecuRam has per- fected it even further. With customers and applications ranging from home access to banking and automotive security, SecuRam remains the reference standard in authentication technology. Blood vessel patterns are unique to each individual, as are other biometric data such as fingerprints or the patterns of the iris. However, unlike some biomet- ric systems, blood vessel patterns are almost impossible to counterfeit because they are located beneath the skin's sur- face. Biometric systems based on finger- prints, depending upon the technology, can be fooled with a dummy finger fitted with a copied fingerprint. The Finger Vein ID system is much harder to fool and it requires the finger of a living per- son to authenticate. SmartEntry represents a break- through in high security authentication for home or office use. This technology was once only available on high- end security equipment used by high tech companies. SecuRam Systems is the first security company to successfully incor- porate this very secure biomet- ric authentication system into access control products for everyday use. Simply touch the SmartEntry scan- ner and then the science goes to work to determine if you are an enrolled user. A positive match sends a signal to the SmartEntry door lock to open immedi- ately, allowing fast and secure access to your home or office. With optional Wi-Fi connectivity, you can manage and monitor your SmartEntry from your smartphone.
