Fingerprint Readers, or Fingerprint Scanner, are the most popular and most common form of biometric security devices used. Today, Fingerprint Devices are by far the most popular form of biometric security used, with a variety of systems on the market intended for general and mass market usage.

Fingerprint Scanning essentially provides an identification of a person based on the acquisition and recognition of those unique patterns and ridges in a fingerprint. The actual fingerprint identification process will change slightly between products and systems. The basis of identification, however, is nearly the same. Standard systems are comprised of a sensor for scanning a fingerprint and a processor which stores the fingerprint database and software which compares and matches the fingerprint to the predefined database. Within the database, a fingerprint is usually matched to a reference number, or PIN number which is then matched to a person's name or account. In instances of security the match is generally used to allow or disallow access, but today this can also be used for something as simple as a time clock or payroll access.

Today, companies have realized that Fingerprint Scanner is an effective means of security. While the cost of implementing biometric scanners in larger organizations and data centers is still quite costly, we did find several Fingerprint Scanning Devices which would fit into the budget of many small offices and home users. These home and small office products are designed to protect your hard drive, notebook or even to remove the need for users to remember multiple passwords.
