• As an enrollment camera for iris image capturing and Administration PC enrollment
To activate iris recognition, it is necessary to capture the iris images of a user and enroll the iris data in the administration
PC. A control unit (for enrollment) generates iris data from iris images captured by an iris camera (for enrollment), and
transfers the data to the administration PC in the LAN (Local Area Network). The iris data is enrolled in the iris database of
the administration PC. Up to 2 000 users can enroll their iris data. *

• Iris recognition technology is a way to identify a person with iris patterns (an iris is the thin
plate-shaped film in front of the eyeball), which differ among each person. The iris pattern of
the left eye differs from that of the right eye.
