Virdi Fingerprint Security Reader

Suited for access-control projects needing

Organisations that require fingerprint, contact card and contactless card verification in a single desktop reader will find this device matches their specification. Buyers who need a standalone controller with door-relay outputs or network connectivity should look at a different product class.

500 DPI fingerprint sensor resolution

The optical sensor captures fingerprint images at 500 DPI for enrolment and 1:1 or 1:N matching. This resolution determines the level of detail available for template extraction and directly affects false-accept and false-reject rates in high-volume deployments.
