iGuard LM520 Series readers are biometrics (fingerprint identification) and contactless smart card capable Access Control and Time & Attendance management systems designed for business and Government. Using both biometrics recognition and Internet technologies, these leading-edge, web-enabled appliances can be configured into facility-level access control networks. They provide positive identification of users enrolled in each network they control.

Rather than using the traditional optical fingerprint scanner, these readers uses the most advanced capacitive fingerprint sensor for fingerprint acquisition, thereby achieving the highest fingerprint identification results in the industry. And unlike other security systems, iGuard includes an embedded Web Server to simplify system administration. Using common Internet browser technology, computers in the corporate computer network (such as PCs, MACs & UNIX machines) can be used to access, setup and maintain personnel credentialing information across the iGuard network.

1. Multiple verification methods:
With iGuard, users can be authenticated and verified through either Fingerprint, Smart Card or Password processes. To accommodate work day high traffic periods (lunch time, shift change, etc.), System Administrators can configure the iGuard readers so that users simply present their Smart Card for rapid identification. Likewise, additional higher-security fingerprint verification can be required for period such as after normal office hours or during weekends and holidays.

2. Access Rights:
The System Administrator can easily and conveniently assign different access rights to individual employees. Using this flexibility, you can plan and administer your security program more effectively and maximize utilization of human resources. With the built-in Web Server technology, iGuard empowers you to manage the access rights of each individual employee or a group of employees easily at anytime, from anywhere using any web-enabled computer at your disposal. For example, the Administrator can allow staff members of the marketing department have access to office premises during weekdays from nine to five only, or can specify only four employees to have access to the computer operations center, with two specified for 1st Shift Only and two others for 2nd Shift Only.

3. Reports:
iGuard includes three built-in reports: Access Log, Attendance Report and the Daily In/Out report. Each can be accessed via any web-enabled computer with web browser. Should more sophisticated reports be required (e.g. - for payroll inputs), the information can be downloaded and saved in Microsoft Excel format and delimited, plain text format for further processing.

In addition, the access records can be saved to any PC in the network in ODBC database format in a real-time manner. Other applications can then conveniently obtain the information from the ODBC source (the required interface software, iServer.exe, is available free-of-charge on Lucky Technology's download page at www.lucky-tech.com ).

4. Economical:
iGuard readers are truly plug-and-play. All the necessary operational hardware and software are built-in and delivered complete with each device, including the RJ-45 connector for integration with the corporate local and wide area networks. No other hardware and wiring is necessary. In contrast, many other security systems require separate RS232 & RS485 wiring systems and dedicated PCs to serve as the administration consoles (and do not leverage the corporate network).

5. Small Footprint:
iGuard is a wall-mounted unit, elegantly designed with an extremely small footprint. In fact, it is the smallest stand-alone biometrics device available in the market today. It can be mounted easily and conveniently at the access point and does not detract from the architectural aesthetics of the office environment.

6. User-Friendliness
iGuard is an Internet-Ready Security System and is the first and the only security product in the market that uses TCP/IP as the protocol to communicate with other iGuard units and the outside world. This protocol enables the device to directly connect to the corporate network via the existing LAN cabling. Since TCP/IP protocol is the Internet protocol, it allows all computers in the corporate network to access the devices using common Internet Browser software familiar to System Administrators and Security Managers. As a result, system managers do not need to learn to use a new software to access and administer the devices. Most users master the system devices and administration software in minutes. In contrast, other security systems use proprietary protocol, wiring and even proprietary software is required to access these systems.
