Futronic launches Web-enabled fingerprint access control system
Futronic Technology Co. Ltd, a supplier of fingerprint recognition products, has launched a complete Web-enabled fingerprint and attendance control system. The system is made up of hardware and software components, which include the FS20 basic fingerprint access control device, the FS21M fingerprint access control device with Mifare, the FS30 Remote Relay Unit (RRU), the FS80 USB fingerprint scanner and the fingerprint authentication server (FAS) software. The FS20 and FS21M control the electric lock directly and can work as standalone devices for fingerprint registration and recognition. These have internal memory and connect to a LAN/Internet system via a server using the FAS software to form a large-scale access and attendance control system for multiple physical locations. The FS30, a useful accessory for the FS20 and FS21M, is an administrator-controlled device that grants remote access. The FS80 can be used to enroll fingerprints that can be transferred to the FS20 and FS21M.
