Datastrip now offers an optional built-in three megapixel digital still camera for its DSVII family of mobile biometric identification terminals, equipping users with broad new capabilities such as user enrollment at remote sites, photo-based identity matching of criminal suspects and photo evidence gathering at crime scenes. The camera is seamlessly integrated into the back of the DSVII and sits flush against the housing, with tips that protrude slightly from the case to protect the lens against damage when the unit is put down. It features 24-bit color, flash illumination and preview capabilities, and adds just 0.6 pounds to the reader's 2.1-pound base weight. Captured images can be stored and processed on the Datastrip terminal or wirelessly transmitted to backend servers for immediate processing for applications such as facial recognition.
