| Cogent Ships BlueCheck Portable Bluetooth Fingerprint Scanner Cogent Systems has announced availability of the BlueCheck, a Bluetooth enabled mobile fingerprint scanner for law enforcement applications. Weighing only 3 ounces, the BlueCheck is equipped with a durable LCD display for real-time feedback, a 500 dpi fingerprint sensor and Cogent's SecurASIC technology for embedded encryption, image compression and on-device matching. Used with Cogent's LiveID and MobileID software, BlueCheck allows users to quickly and easily perform in-the-field fingerprint capture and identifications. Using Bluetooth communication, BlueCheck can remotely transfer secure captured fingerprint data to any COTS Bluetooth enabled PDA, laptop or cell phone. This modular feature enables law enforcement agencies to configure the use of BlueCheck with their existing equipment and infrastructure. With Cogent's BlueCheck host applications, the host device can submit ANSI-NIST format files via SMTP or FTP to a remote server, or to a statewide Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). BlueCheck receives the search results from the host and displays the results on its LCD display, providing timely and accurate information for law enforcement personnel. BlueCheck is a completely wireless solution that can be easily taken into buildings, crime scenes, the far end of an airport terminal and many other remote locations. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
