The new Mercury desktop sensor is a stand-alone biometrics reader that can easily be attached to a host PC or intelligent controller via a standard USB cable. This device utilizes the same multispectral imaging technology deployed in our Mercury OEM sensor modules and is able to deliver the same world-class performance.

The Mercury reader can be configured to support several modes of operation. Device installation and operation is simple and easy. Once connected, high-quality 500 dpi images or templates can be swiftly and consistently delivered to the host PC or controller. Both enrollment and user authentication can be done on the very same device.

Because of the highly integrated design and advanced architecture, both the speed and biometrics accuracy of this device is unmatched in the industry today. Mercury data capture is incredibly fast and accurate. In most cases a simple “tap” of the finger is sufficient to securely authenticate a user and ensure biometric accuracy.

Prior to its commercial release, Mercury was field proven and tested in some of the most demanding environments by some of the most demanding users. In all cases, Mercury has consistently shown a clear superiority in both image quality and matching accuracy. Like all other multispectral imaging products from Lumidigm, our patented biometric data collection makes Mercury the very best choice for those environments where the “less than perfect” performance and solutions provided by conventional technologies are simply not good enough.
