The PAC Smart Biometric Reader is an industry standard Mifare® smart card reader that integrates fingerprint technology by comparing it against a smart card template, eliminating the need for a central database and communications infrastructure. In an age where many users have concerns about centralized storage of personal data, holding the users fingerprint details on the card, only alleviate these concerns.

The PAC Smart Biometric Reader combines a Mifare® contactless smart card reader and biometric finger scanner. The unit reads a stored fingerprint template from the card together with the access control code and card number in one pass. When a finger is presented to the reader it is compared against a template from the card, and, on a match, it releases the access control data to the door controller for processing.

The controller then either grants or denies access subject to the card holder''s authority. Only PAC Smart Biometric readers and encoders can communicate with the Mifare® cards that they create. Lost or stolen cards are unusable without the correct fingerprint data, therefore, access is automatically denied by the reader using biometric technology. The PAC Smart Biomatric reader is ideal for security areas where secure user authentication and verification is of high importance, aiding in the prevention of fraud and misuse, thus increasing security to the highest level available for all access control requirements.
