PREFACE Iris Camera BM-ET300AE is used in an access control system. The iris camera, which captures a user's iris image, is available for following uses. • As an enrollment camera for iris image capturing and iris server enrollment To activate iris recognition, it is necessary to capture the iris images of a user and enroll the iris data in the iris server.
Iris cameras and the iris server can compose an access control system in combination with access control panels* readers* , and electric locks* These devices are independent to BM-ET300AE. • Supporting a common access control interface Recognition result outputs support Wiegand, which is one of the interfaces commonly used for access control systems.
These manuals are intended for system installers and administrators. • System installers and administrators should read the following manuals as well as this document.
