SentryCards are designed with firmware allowing the enrollment of two (2) fingers. The two fingers need to be enrolled concurrently.
Please also reference the Enrollment videos in the Resources Section of the website. A user’s fingerprints are enrolled directly onto the SentryCard itself and never need to pass-thru or be stored on a database of server. This is critical in the on-going compliance requirements of GDPR (General Data Protection Rights), the CCPA (California Consumer Protection Act) and the growing number of BIPAs (Biometric Information Protection Acts).
No, there’s no need for rip and replace. The SentryCard is completely open-architected, meaning that it is compatible with all leading access control systems, door readers, and readily connects to the Active Directory via commonly used software (Microsoft, OKTA, PingID, VeridiumID, Windows Hello, Google, Citrix, Azure, etc.) Sentry maintains an “agnostic” approach to access control and has the ability to integrate (or embed) any of HID’s technologies (Prox, iClass, iClassSE and SEOS) as well as the entire NXP MiFARE suite (MiFARE Classic, DesFIRE EV1 and DesFIRE EV2), allowing it to work with any existing readers.
Among several differentiators, the SentryCard’s antennas are undiscoverable until an on-card biometric authentication takes place. Once a user biometrically authenticates to the credential, the microprocessor validates the match and makes the antennas discoverable again during the transaction, whether opening a door or logging into a computer.
