Fingerprint recognition is the most widely deployed biometric identifier because it is reliable and easy to deploy. Facial imaging and retinal scans are options. Use of multiple credentials greatly increases security.


Rosslare’s biometric PIN and prox readers/controllers and software can accommodate 500 users, with two templates per user fingerprint, PIN and card.

Master and user cards and fingerprint enrollment are programmed using Rosslare’s AS-B01 software in conjunction with Rosslare’s CP-R26 Mifare® card desktop programmer and BioTrax™ Biometric Fingerprint Enrollment Software

The controller features two user levels and operation modes: Normal and Secure Reader.

KEYper Systems

The KEYper Elite Series Electronic Key Management systems use Windows based embedded controller and state-of-the-art semiconductor technology to control, catalog and track critical keys. It controls and reports who used which key, when it was withdrawn and returned, and why it was requested. The KEYper is a Web based appliance which can be operated locally or remotely. Use of a biometric terminal in order to log into the KEYper is the most popular option. A backup PIN code may be used in case of a finger injury.

Only authorized administrators are able to access the electronic key management system. Customized administrator groups allow for escalated control of more sensitive keys. Unauthorized key removal is permanently logged and causes immediate email notifications.

Web based software shows what keys are in, what keys are out, and to whom they are issued. Upon checkout, the appropriate key is visually indicated by means of a flashing LED. In addition the KEYper system allows you to return any key to any location in the cabinet. The KEYper relearns the key’s new location on the board.

Electronic key management reports can be generated and used to track activities within the organization. Complete audit trail and reporting by user, key, and administrator reduces lost keys. Concise key management is the cornerstone of effective security management.
