Tags: Fingerprint Sensors
The NScan-FMH uses a 500 DPI optical sensor with 256-level grayscale imaging and captures at 10 frames per second, giving fast, accurate reads even in high-throughput environments such as bank counters or government service desks. It measures 75 x 39.4 x 17.2 mm and connects via USB 2.0 High Speed, requiring no external power supply. The unit is rated for operation between -20°C and +60°C at 10–90% humidity, and its IP65 housing protects against dust ingress and water splashes.
On the security side, the NScan-FMH carries KC, CE, FCC, and RoHS compliance alongside FBI PIV and FAP20 certification — the benchmark used by identity and access programs that require validated capture quality. It supports VIRDI, ISO 19794-2, and ANSI 378 fingerprint template formats, plus ISO 19794-4 WSQ, RAW, and BMP image formats, making it compatible with a wide range of third-party identity and access management platforms.
A full SDK is included, giving developers an API, an enrollment and authentication wizard, and sample code in C++, C#, and Java for Windows, Linux, and Android. This allows eTOP’s UAE customers to integrate the NScan-FMH into existing software rather than being locked into a single vendor’s platform.
