Built-in Web Server
US patent # 6,643,779
The built-in Web Server enables all the computers in the corporate network to directly & simultaneously access the device using any Internet Browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox & Chrome on Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows & Linux based PC. No additional software is required.
So whether you are in an airport lounge or a hotel room, you can always check if your employees are already in the office or not, and you can even control, modify or disable their access rights to your office remotely via internet connection.

Built-in Database Server
The built-in Database Server allows obtaining the employee information and the access & attendance records easily, thus cutting the processing time for jobs like payroll calculation from days to minutes.
All the information is real-time information, instead of week-old or day-old data. In contrast, other systems must use dedicated computers running special proprietary software to retrieve the information, and usually dedicated persons are required to perform the jobs.

"True TCP/IP" based Communication
iGuard is the first and the only security product in the market that uses TCP/IP as the protocol to communicate with other iGuards and the outside world. The protocol enables the device to directly connect to the corporate network via the existing cable wiring.
Unlike traditional RS-485/Wiegands with maximum 32 units communicated at the same time, TCP/IP is fast, unlimited and ubiquitous.

Primary/Secondary Networking with "True TCP/IP" based
Mulitple iGuard units can be setup as a Primary/Secondary network in local network or Internet. Under this configuration, one iGuard would be assigned as the Primary, and all other units are configured as Secondary. User enrolment can be done once in any unit as users information and access right are replicated over the Primary/Secondary network.
Technically, there is no limit on the number of units on a Primary/Secondary network which in big contrast to RS-485 with only 31 units for each RS-485 controller.

Access Rights
When you can easily and conveniently assign different access rights to your employees, you can plan your security better and maximize the effectiveness of the human resources . And with the built-in Web Server technology, iGuard empowers you to manage the access rights of each individual employees or a group of employees easily anytime, anywhere using any web-enabled computers or mobile devices. For example, you can assign the staff members of the marketing department the rights to get in the office premises during weekdays from nine to five only, or prevent a particular employee from entering the computer server room.

Reports
iGuard includes three built-in reports: Access Log, Attendance Report & Daily In/Out report, that can be accessed via any web-enabled computer with web browser. Should more sophisticated reports be required, such as for the payroll purposes, the information can be downloaded and saved in Microsoft Excel format and in plain text format.
In addition, the access records can be saved in any PC in the network in the popular ODBC database format in real-time manner, and other applications can conveniently obtain the information from the ODBC (the required software, iServer2.exe, is available free-of-charge in our download page).

Contactless Smart Card
NXP Mifare Classic Contactless Smart Card
With this feature, your workforce can gain access to the iGuard faster and smarter, by using the Contactless Smart Card. Each user would have his / her own smart card, which stores the user information including the name, company & branch code, and the fingerprint information. This feature is specially useful during high-traffic period, such as during the beginning and the end of the day, that most employees clock in and out for the day at almost the same time.
Lucky Technology is the first company to store fingerprint templates on contactless smart card.

Fingerprint Sensors
LM520-FOSC Durable Optical Sensor
It uses next-generation fingerprint technology including SecuGen ruggedized, high image quality fingerprint optic module and high speed fingerprint matching algorithms.
LM520-FSC Sensitive Capacitive Sensor
It uses the advanced Solid-state, silicon-based Capacitive Fingerprint Sensor.
This sensor features enhanced imaging capabilities, electrostatic discharge performance and improved ruggedness to provide superior levels of accuracy and reliability for fingerprint authentication.
When a finger contacts the iGuard sensor surface, the sensor measures the capacitance at each pixel in the 256 300 array in the sensor surface. Differences in capacitance correspond to the ridges, valleys and pores that characterize a unique fingerprint.
This sensor eliminates the limitations of other traditional scanners, including edge distortion, low-image resolution, scratched platens, mis-aligned optics and bulky size. It is also unaffected by day to day fingerprint variations such as cuts, swelling & dirts.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Why do I need biometric fingerprinting to control time and attendance?
A: It is estimated that by the year 2015 most U.S. corporations will use some type of biometric device for time and attendance and payroll processing. It is estimated that "buddy punching" accounts for an estimated 7% to 12% of all “required ID” transactions where a PIN number, code or card is used. A variety of electronic security devices are in use today incorporating passwords or security access cards. However, there is simply no foolproof way to make these traditional systems completely safe from unauthorized use. Passwords & ID badges can be stolen, loaned or duplicated resulting in a serious breach of security. Biometric identification offers the highest level of security by positively identifying the person at the point of access. Fingerprint scanning outsells all other forms of Biometrics by 5 to 1.
Q: Are good locks and keys just as good as fingerprint ID for access control?
A: Biometrics is a human or physical characteristic unique to the individual. Keys can be duplicated, usually with no questions asked. Keys market "do not duplicate" are normally a challenge rather than a warning to unscrupulous key cutters. Cards and PIN numbers can be lost, loaned or stolen leaving the building or door at risk. Biometric identification offers the highest level of security by positively identifying the person at the point of access. Biometrics is the leading growth segment in the Electronic Access Control industry today. The total market for biometric security is slated to grow around 22% per year over the next 10 years and has grown faster than any other security technology in history. In fact, Biometrics has grown faster than all others combined.
Q: Can I afford Biometrics?
A: iGuard ® is very affordable. A fully functional system is less than the cost of a hotel lock or brass entry lock. This remarkable technology utilizes the Internet for administration purposes and can be installed easily using no special tools.
Q: Do I have a personal security issue with having my fingerprint stored in a data base. How does iGuard capture and store it?
A: iGuard’s ® patented technology captures the individual fingerprint and stores it as a template, not as an image. If elected, it can be transferred to a smart card and carried on the card. This remarkable ability allows individual privacy to the user as the fingerprint remains with them and is not stored on a database. Because of the encrypted technology, it cannot be deciphered or reproduced. Unlike other security systems that require proprietary components, the iGuard ® incorporates an embedded Web Server and software, which enables all computers, such as IBM, Apple Macintosh and others to access the built-in software using any Internet Browser. The unique iGuard ® Security System can be used as a stand-alone mode or it can be integrated into a network wide security platform using a LAN or Web based application.
Q: Is this technology here to stay?
A: Today, businesses use a variety of security methods such as passwords or security access cards. However, there is simply no foolproof way to make these traditional systems completely safe from unauthorized use. Passwords & ID badges can be stolen, loaned or duplicated resulting in a serious breach of security. With iGuard ® biometric security, the person presenting themselves for access simply has to be that person.
