Integrated Biometrics FIVE-0

Integrated Biometrics FIVE-0 is an exceptionally compact, incredibly lightweight, and highly accurate Appendix F certified FAP 50 ten-fingerprint scanner. IB FIVE-0 is designed and manufactured specifically for applications, in which compactness and mobility are top priorities without compromising accuracy, quality, and speed.

IB FIVE-0 becomes an irresistible choice if your use case requires an FBI Appendix F certified 10-print scanner that can easily be carried around – just like your smartphone. When it comes to compactness, no other product in the market can beat this little master. With dimensions measuring 4.48” x 3.27” x .75” in size, Integrated Biometrics FIVE-0 is unbelievably compact for a 10-print scanner.

It is incredibly lightweight as well and weighs only 191.64gm (6.76 oz.) – not more than the weight of an average smartphone today. So if you don’t mind your smartphone in your pocket all day, you wouldn’t mind IB FIVE-0 either. Despite the unbelievable compactness, it offers more than adequate platen size of 3.38 x 2.12 inches (85.85 x 53.97 mm), leaving enough room for 4-finger slaps and rolls for all finger types – big or small.

Your first encounter with IB FIVE-0 may leave you scratching your head if you have already used an ordinary 10-print scanner. Generally, ten-print scanners are known for their bulkiness as they have to fit a large platen along with a traditional optical sensing technology-based sensor. Traditional optical sensors make use of a prism for achieving total internal reflection to capture the fingerprint image. This method not only increases the dimension of the scanner but also introduces many inadequacies that can compromise the image quality if the subject’s finger skin is not in good condition.

With FIVE-0, Integrated Biometrics has provided a market-leading solution to organizations that need a reliable, compact, yet robust fingerprint scanner that can take the challenges of field operations – such as law enforcement identity verification on the street. Ensuring consistent power is also a challenge during field operations and with FIVE-0, Integrated Biometrics has also solved this problem as IB FIVE-0 draws its power with a USB connector – be it a smartphone, tablet, or laptop.

The super-compact form factor is not the only highlight of this masterpiece. Integrated Biometrics FIVE-0 also comes equipped with Integrated Biometrics’ market-leading technologies and features that make this device stand apart in the highly crowded market of FBI-approved ten-print scanners.

Unlike traditional prism-based optical sensors, LES film technology takes a different approach to scan fingerprints. It first illuminates the pattern of friction ridges and then captures it using a TFT camera. The advantage of LES film sensing over prism-based optical capture is that it can capture highly accurate fingerprints even if they are visibly dirty or dry.

Even if fingerprints are visibly dirty or dry, they offer enough conductivity for the LES sensor to illuminate the exact pattern of friction ridges. This illuminated pattern of friction ridges is captured by a digital camera located behind the sensor. The camera itself is pretty compact in a form factor so it contributes to the overall compact footprint of the device.

With FIVE-0, Integrated Biometrics did not have to make any additional efforts to offer one of the market-leading liveness detection and anti-spoofing ability. The LES sensor is built the way that it requires a living finger’s natural conductivity to work. If an importer tries to circumvent the system by presenting a replica or spoof made of silicone, latex, paper, glue, or just any elastic material, the sensor will not respond at all. Since the spoofs and replicas cannot offer a living person’s skin characteristics, the LES film sensor does not accept them.

By using LES film-based sensor technology in FIVE-0, Integrated Biometrics is also able to offer inherent immunity against latent and leftover prints. Leftover/latent prints are a common problem in fingerprint scanners that make use of prism-based optical sensing technology.

Since these traditional sensors capture what is visible, they also capture the latent or leftover prints present on the scanner platen. It negatively impacts the scanner’s ability to create an accurate fingerprint image, which results in performance issues. That is the reason why users of traditional prism-based optical sensors clean the platen after each scan, just to avoid any performance issues.

Since LES film-based sensors only work when they come in contact with a living person’s finger and illuminate the exact friction ridge pattern, its performance does not affect even if there are any latent or leftover prints present on the sensor surface.

While designing and manufacturing FIVE-0, Integrated Biometrics has not compromised with the durability part. This ultra-compact scanner is also ultra-durable and can withstand environmental and operational challenges without breaking a sweat. Its IP65 rated sealed bezel to scanning surface makes sure that any accidental liquid spills or dusty environment do not harm its high-quality internals.

It is not only sealed for water or dust to creep in, its military standard construction conforms to MIL-C-675c 4.5010 and MIL-STD-810F surface durability standards, which makes it a highly durable FBI Appendix F certified 10-print scanner.

ACCURATE

FIVE-0 comes equipped with one of the most accurate sensors in its class, thanks to LES film-based sensor technology and the class-leading fingerprint algorithm used in the device. With FIVE 0, Integrated Biometrics has been able to offer a perfect balance of performance and accuracy.

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY

Could there be a more efficient way to scan fingerprints than taking a digital picture using a prism and inbuilt camera? Integrated Biometrics took this challenge and developed an entirely new and innovative sensing tech – LES film-based fingerprint sensing technology, which addresses the shortcomings of traditional optical sensors.

SPOOF PROOF

Integrated Biometrics makes sure that IB FIVE-0 cannot be circumvented by spoofs and presentation attacks. IB FIVE-0’s LES film-based sensor can easily neutralize common spoofing attacks with the anti-spoofing and liveness detection mechanisms that are inherent to its sensing technology.

MOBILE

Integrated Biometrics FIVE 0’s ultra-compact size makes it extremely mobile, and that is what it is designed for. Just slip it in your pocket and in a few minutes, you might forget it is there. Its low profile makes it easy to carry around during field operations, allowing identity verification on the go.

FBI CERTIFIED

Adhering to FBI IAFIS Appendix F requirements can be quite a challenge, however, with FIVE 0, Integrated Biometrics conforms to these requirements quite easily. It can easily take up FBI mobile acquisition applications where adherence to Appendix F image quality specifications is a minimum requirement.

LOW PRICE

Integrated Biometrics FIVE-0 price offers a great value for money. Despite offering a plethora of premium technologies, rich specifications, versatile performance, and ultra-mobility, the Integrated Biometrics FIVE-0’s price is highly competitive for what it offers.
