Club Sentry selects SecuGen fingerprint readers for biometric check-in

Monday, March 10, 2008

Club Sentry has chosen SecuGen’s Hamster fingerprint readers for integration with Club Sentry’s club management software. The Hamster readers will be used to scan fingerprints of members when they check-in and check-out through Club Sentry’s Biometric ID software module.

The Biometric ID module interfaces with the Hamster fingerprint reader and Club Sentry’s Base Module that provides basic functionality a membership organization would need to track members, residents and employees. Club Sentry Software was founded in Northport, New York, in 2002. [end] 

California-based BridgePoint Systems has introduced its TrustPoint 3-Factor Biometric Reader for physical access control systems.

The smart card reader also verifies the templates digital signature.
