Chapter 1 Introduction
The fingerprint reader can work with GeoVision access controllers and GV-ASManager software to create a complete access control system. Three types of operation modes are supported: Card + Fingerprint, Fingerprint Only, and Card Only.
Card + Fingerprint Mode
With the fingerprint reader only, you can enroll and manage users using the supplied Manager Enroll Card and Delete Card, along with optional MIFARE cards.
The fingerprint templates are stored in the user card. The user gains access by scanning both his/her finger and the card. The reader compares the presented finger with digital template stored in the card. When the finger is successfully authenticated, a signal is sent to activate the door relay of the controller.
Fingerprint Only Mode
The fingerprints are enrolled through a fingerprint reader installed on the GV-ASManager server via RS-485 or a USB cable, or through a fingerprint reader via network. The fingerprints are then distributed through GV-ASManager to the fingerprint readers installed on GeoVision access controllers.
Card Only Mode
The mode requires users to present their cards only to be granted access.
Note: GV-GF1921 / 1922 / 1922 V2 can also work as a standalone device. For details, see Chapter 6 Standalone Mode.
