## Overview

Compatible across multiple operating systems, it offers robust, traceable biometric authentication trusted by government and enterprise users.

## Description

FS88H is an enhanced version of FS80H USB2.0 Fingerprint Scanner from Futronic. It was certified by FBI to be compliant with PIV-071006 Image Quality Specification (view PDF) for Single Finger Reader. So FS88H meets the US Federal Information Processing Standard 201(FIPS 201) for Personal Identification Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors. It is also listed in the US General Services Administration (GSA) FIPS 201 Evaluation Program Approved Product List. FS88H uses advanced CMOS sensor technology and precise optical system to meet the rigorous requirement on fingerprint image quality of PIV-071006. Its fingerprint scanning window is crown glass with a thickness of 14mm that resists scratches and other stress to ensure long term heavy duty usage. It is a robust but cost effective single finger capture device and ideal for border control, identity card, driver license, election and any type of civilian AFIS application. Special electronic circuit is built into FS88H to do Live Finger Detection (LFD). With appropriate software in PC, user can select this LFD feature so that only live finger's fingerprint will be scanned into PC. Fake fingers made from silicone rubber, play-doh, etc, will be rejected. And the LFD feature is included in all Futronic standard software. A unique serial number is factory-programmed into the USB Device Descriptor of each FS88H. So every FS88H is traceable and this is very important for government identity management projects. Futronic provides Application Programming Interface (API) for FS88H to capture fingerprint image on the following platforms: Windows XP/2003, 32 bit and 64 bit. Windows Vista/2008/2012, 32 bit and 64 bit. Windows 7/8, 32 bit and 64 bit. Linux with kernel 2.4 or higher (for both x86 and ARM9) Windows CE 5.0 and 6.0 (for both x86 and ARM9) MAC OS(version 10.5, 10.6 and 10.7, Intel CPU) Android 3.1

Review: Solid hardware, interface could be better - Pros: - The device looks, feels, and behaves like a professional fingerprint scanner. Really solid. - FIPS201, FBI certified, etc. - Gives you the option of deciding, for each user, whether they log into Windows using just password, just fingerprint, either one, or both password and fingerprint. That's a big plus. - Integrates nicely in the OS... the add-on pack allows convenient file encryption/decryption, and so on. Cons: - The software is all in broken English, which makes me slightly uneasy... just feels like it was cheaply outsourced to some one-man team far, far away. Hopefully the quality of the UI / English-lacking interface does not reflect the quality of what's behind the software. - I don't see any way of updating the drivers as new ones may come out over time. They aren't published on any website and get sent to you initially by the merchant via email. Maybe you can just request them again from the merchant (Fulcrum Biometrics) if you ever need an update, e.g. for new versions of Windows, etc. I also don't see any auto-update mechanism in the main software. That being said, everything is easy to use, works as expected, PDF documentation explains everything clearly, so all that is reassuring. I've done quite a bit of research while trying to find a good fingerprint scanner, and believe this is the best there is. Highly recommended.
Review: A clear and accurate scanning - I will use this product for DMIT tests which is a kind of assessment from fingerprints so the clearness is very important for me. I didn’t sure about the performance of the product before buying but I am very satisfied.

*by R***R on June 8, 2015*

Fingerprint reader is spot on and nails my fingerprints every time. Haven't been able to fool it yet with other fingers or with other people's fingerprints. Knocked one star off because programming website log-ins is not intuitive and a bit cumbersome at first. That said, once I figured it out, it is much easier to log them in.
