Hardware

Document capture devices can be classified according to the document sizes they read and the kinds of data they are able to capture. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) specifies three standard ID sizes: ID-1 (used for credit cards, e.g.), ID-2 (slightly larger, but still wallet-sized), and ID-3 (used for passports, visas, and travel permits, e.g). Some cards have magnetic strips (also called magstripes). There are different lighting conditions under which different documents need to be examined for different document security attributes: visible, near-infrared, ultraviolet, coaxial, and directional. Depending on the application and factors such as size and cost, different document capture devices are available.

The i-Dentify™ model ID-150 unit is designed for standard driver’s license size (ID-1/CR80) documents. It is capable of reading both sides of a card simultaneously and automatically combining/comparing the data and security analysis. The ID-150 offering is great for particular situations — for example, when a large number of operators need individual stations with ID authentication capability where the vast majority of customers will be presenting only ID cards rather than passports or other non-ID-1 documents. Optional RF “smart chip” reading is planned as an option in the near future.
