Can I store multiple people's fingerprints? Also, does it work with Linux?

Yes it works with Linux if you can find the driver and it allows you to store you 2 hands but you can swap some of yours for someone elses

The windows software supports multiple profiles and has a lot of features, however I am using this scanner under linux using the libfprint library it wasn't hard to get it working with raspberry pi compiling libfprint on ARM with a few patches I found on the libfprint discussion boards. Testing with the libfprint example code, I was able to successfully authenticate under linux about 1 in 5 swipes.

I haven't personally tried it, but the way to find out would be to compile and install libfprint, using the "--with-drivers=all" flag in the configure command line to ensure that any drivers that support the reader are built. Then, use either fprint_daemo or Fingerprint GUI to test the functionality. Good luck.

Hi, HamDude: The (complicated) manual says that saves your prints and combination while you replace the battery. It must have a little battery inside just for changing batteries, but I've not seen it. I haven't tried it yet to see that it works. (sounds unrelated) when I was at a private lab, a guy was getting his fingerprints scanned. He was about 70 or so. They had to put some kind of lotion on his hands, because the "elderly" almost lose their fingerprints over the years. I've also found that if your fingers are dry, it won't work as well, or approach the safe at a different angle (for fingerprints). For this reason, some people make 3 or 4 prints for the same finger. Hope this was some help. One word of caution: don't leave the safe door open, or someone you don't want will put their fingerprint in the memory.

The simple answer is that feature is no longer available to you. It was an issue for me at first although I chose to forgo the password and just use it without security as it was too time consuming to type in a password every time like previous models. The fingerprint implementation was a perfect solution for security made easy and if you need it this is not the product for you. I have also noticed that the charging port is beginning to fail and so I must say I have longevity concerns with this product as well.

I have only had luck with them using the windows driver. Which is not a good thing, it saves a image of whatever you scanned to your temp files. We are a medical office and cannot have any personal information saved on the computers.

Yes, however it won't work with the finger scanner security features. If it's on there it won't work

Hi. These devices can work in a tcp/ip network and the software allows you to manage all station remotely from one PC via software provided. Since you are planning to have more than one terminal all you have to do is to enroll all personnel in one device and then extract all fingerprints to the PC (good for backup purposes) with the provided software and then flash all the units in the system. It is a very simple process. If you want to enroll employees from a PC and not in the terminals you have to buy a desktop fingerprint reader (ZK brand)ThanksJanio

It works just fine with the desktop. Personally, I like the security of having an external copy of my photographs and other documents.

I'm sure it will work with Linux, especially Ubuntu. This thing should just need generic UCSB thumb driver. Other than that, it's just file system. I'm sure you can format it in any different way to work with all OS. I'd go for NTFS. I don't know if Redhat base will support FAT32 or not. If you can, I'd format FAT32 for this. It will limit the size to only 30GB, but then you're not paying huge overhead to index something large. If you format it to NTFS, you'll get it less than 30 GB for sure.

Yes, but I do NOT recommend this product at all. It would never respond to my fingerprint and was always a mission to use and gain access. Could not rely on it in an emergency situation at all. I have since gotten rid of it.

This device allows you to scan your fingerprint and then use it in lieu of a password for startup log in, or secure folders for fingerprint swipe access. Works awesome. Portable, plugs into USB port using an extension cable

I just picked one up and so far it works as advertised, only con so far is the screen gets full of fingerprints.

The one I have is great for Windows 8. It solved all the fingerprint problems.

No, it is not possible for the 4 users to work at the same time. You definitely would need a multi user version.

My experience has been that it will create a separate profile for each computer it gets connected to. It can only be connected to one computer at a time.

According to the instructions, you have to use the USB key (provided) to delete fingerprint sets. In doing so "all data are deleted" as per the instructions, so it would appear that to delete one user's print, you have to delete all and start from scratch.

This device comes with its own software. With the software you can register fingerprints, create an encrypted drive, use your fingerprint to login to websites and a some other things. The software is called Bioexcess and can be found on Google or here http://www.egistec.com/en/products/bioexcess.aspx
