Chronicle offers fingerscan biometric devices. Fingerscans are not fingerprints. Many people refer to fingerscans as “fingerprints,” but the data of a fingerscan template is not suitable for law enforcement fingerprint matching.
The Chronicle fingerscan products produce a template that represents points along the unique features and minutiae found in a fingerprint pattern. The template files cannot be reverse engineered to reproduce a fingerprint because the reader does not save the necessary information.
Reliability Rules
Successful biometric installation and use typically requires:
- Management Support
- Training of Supervisors and Employees
- Satisfactory Environmental Conditions
Even if all these requirements are met it’s important to note:
- Not all users can be enrolled
- Devices are susceptible to vandalism.
- Environmental conditions can affect operation
Chronicle uses reliable fingerscan technologies with simple rules:
- Terminals within a facility are installed correctly
- Enrollment procedure is closely followed.
- The sensor is maintained on a scheduled basis.
