Cogent Systems, a leading provider in Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems (AFIS) and biometric scanners, recently announced the availability of BlueCheck™, a Bluetooth enabled portable fingerprint scanner for law enforcement applications. Now whenever you get pulled over by a cop, you'll hear "License, Registration and Fingerprints."
The compact, lightweight BlueCheck comes equipped with a durable LCD display for real-time feedback, a 500 dpi fingerprint scanner and Cogent's SecurASIC technology for embedded encryption, image compression and on-the-spot fingerprint matching. Used with Cogent's LiveID and MobileID software, BlueCheck allows users to quickly and easily perform in-the-field fingerprint capture and identifications. Does this mean I can now be processed and released without ever having to step into a police station again?
Using Bluetooth wireless technology, BlueCheck can remotely transfer captured fingerprint data to a Bluetooth enabled host, like a PDA, laptop or mobile phone. This modular feature enables law enforcement agencies to configure the use of BlueCheck with their existing equipment and infrastructure. Cogent's BlueCheck host applications enable the device to submit ANSI-NIST format files via SMTP or FTP to a remote server, or to a statewide AFIS. Then, BlueCheck gathers the search results from the host and displays the results on its LCD display. As a result, law enforcement personnel receive timely and accurate information.
BlueCheck's utilization of Bluetooth technology transforms it into a completely wireless device, truly making it a portable fingerprint scanner. Law enforcement personnel can easily take the BlueCheck with them into any building, crime scene or any other location where criminal suspects lurk.
