Iris scanners

Buy a scanner, get a key, start

You do not need us to ship hardware or to integrate anything. Buy one of the scanners below from the maker or a reseller near you, start the 14-day trial and you get a key to our cloud. Plug the scanner into a Windows laptop or an Android tablet and enroll the first person the same day.

Scanners that work with our cloud

Both are single-eye USB scanners that take a near-infrared picture of the iris. Prices are what resellers asked at the time of writing, without delivery; they change, so check the link.

Being tested

The Mantra MIS100V2, about $30 in India, is next on our bench. We mark a scanner as supported only after our own enrollment and identification tests pass. If you already have another model, tell us which one: most scanners that produce standard ISO/IEC 19794-6 images can be added.

For desks and branches

Dual-iris and face cameras capture both eyes at once and suit a busy registration desk. We are an official reseller of Vista cameras and BIOSID rugged tablets for field enrollment; ask us for a quote with delivery to your country.

Rather have it all in one box?

The $590 starter kit has one scanner delivered to you, the first three months of the cloud for up to 25,000 people, remote setup and a training session. After that the cloud continues from $99 a month.
