FCP800 is a miniature fingerprint module built in with Startek's algorithm and CMOS optical reader. It can serve well a wide range of applications as long as checking true authentication of users is required.

We are seeing two trends of usages for customers to embed FCP800 in systems: one is to replace card check-in/out or password key-in functions completely and the other is to include the fingerprint identification in the existing operations and thus a higher reliability of security than it was can be achieved.

 

Here are some benchmark results concluded from the practical use in fields.

 

●   Low end-user maintenence - While some customers still suffer from competitors' products

     by physically replacing the lens coatings frequently or aging issues well earlier than their dues,

     FCP800's customers can safely enjoy the life endurance inherited in our designs.

●   Low image distortion - The trapezoid distortion on the top with competitors ranges in between

     5 to 15%; the tyical with FCP800 is less than 1%.

●   ISO compliant - You will be surprised to know many of our competitors' readers do not comply

     to required ISO standards a biometrics device shall.

●   ISO compliant: FCP800's fingerprint template is ISO compliant, making it possible to interoperate

     with ISO-compliant fingerprint database on matching and verification.

●   Stand-alone and likely a lower total system cost: With fast stand-alone computing capabilities,

     FCP800 embedded systems do not need to rely on the computing power from a PC, thus reducing

     the overall hardware cost.

●   Small form factor: FCP800 can easily fit in the systems, with examples like POS, locks, ... etc.

●   High performance: The dedicated Digital Signal Processor (DSP) enables a 1:N fingerprint

     matching running Startek's biometric algorithm in less than 1 second entirely on the board.

●   Low power consumption: FCP800 can live with a battery power supply.

●   User friendly interface: Eeasy-to-follow instructions are provided for programmers, covering

     how to capture images, enroll, verify, and how to build and retrieve user profiles.

●   Simple implementation: Minimal modification to the host system is required while developpers

     do not need to know much of fingerprint technology. Time and efforts will be minimal when an

     FCP800 module is added to the existing development platform.

●   Common communication interface: RS232/RS485 interfaces allow easy integration into a multi-

     task host environment given by customers.

Market and Application Development

 

FCP800 are in use and recommended for the following applications:

 

●   Fingerprint Access Control or Time and Attendance

●   Fingerprint Lock

●   Management of Restricted Elevator Use

●   Management of Equioment Controls

●   Management of Safety Box

●   POS (Point of Sales/Services)

●   ATM (Automatic Teller Machine)

●   Smart Card Verification

 

Simplified Customization-To-Go Kits for Developpers

 

In addition to the stand-alone FCP800 modules, Startek's systems engineering team developped various enabling kits that customers can take away to customize their own features or add additional deliverables to thier final systems.

 

 

	Touch-Screen LCM
	Developers may design a fashionable touch-screen human interface for customers' interaction or users' instruction display.
	EVK (EValuation Kit)
	EVK comes with powerboards and adapters, for developers' quick prototyping and customer demonstration.
	RS/232 to USB Conversion
	With power over USB conversion, developers can consolidate the fingerprint module with existing USB connection to lower BOM cost..
	RS/232 to Ethernet Conversion
	Developers can connect the fingerprint module to computing hosts with existing LAN connection already in place.
	Reference Mechanical Housing
	The molded case may serve for an ergonomic reference to jump start demonstration, as well as customer installation of small volume readers.

 

For some of the end-user applications mentioned above, developpers can further shorten their development cycle and come up with the prototypes quicker.
