New biometric tech comes to SA


Johannesburg, 08 Sep 2011

Morpho has introduced its latest biometric technology - the MorphoAccessVP Series - to the South African market through its local partner, Ideco Biometric Security Solutions.

The MorphoAccess VP Series is the world's first range of physical access control terminals combining finger vein and fingerprint biometrics in one system. It was unveiled earlier this year at IFSEC International, in Birmingham, UK.

The products are suitable for authentication or identification. The terminals can identify up to 10 000 users; have enhanced anti-spoofing capabilities; and are rated IP65 for ruggedness.

According to Ideco, over 60 000 Morpho biometric terminals are installed across SA, managing physical access for some 2.5 million people.

“We are proud to set a new benchmark for the industry by introducing the multimodal vein and fingerprint device to the physical access control market way ahead of others”,says Philippe Compagnon, MD of Morpho SA.

“Through its network of channel partners, Ideco Biometric Security Solutions continues to provide the latest Morpho technology and maintain its position as the pre-emininent biometrics supplier in the South African security market,” says Marius Coetzee, Ideco's COO.

“The multimodal vein and fingerprint is yet another example of our successful partnership with Morpho in SA,” he concludes.
