This innovative fingerprint reader can identify and verify a print in as little as 1/10 of a second.

To choose a group prior to requesting access, the user simply enters a single-digit code and scans the print.

The KeyTrak system also allows for entry of primary and secondary prints for each user. This prevents access denial in the event a person's digits are injured.
