Iris ID, the global pioneer in iris recognition technology for more than 20 years, is proud to announce that it’s IrisAccess™ iCAM 7S Series of Advanced Multifactor Biometric Iris Readers are the first iris biometric devices tested and verified to meet the Security Industry Association (SIA) Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) Secure Profile communications standard for access control security and interoperability.
Receiving OSDP Verification from SIA instil confidence in integrators, specifiers, and practitioners that OSDP devices will SIA OSDP is an access control communications standard developed by SIA to improve interoperability among access control and security products. Already in use by many leading manufacturers, the standard is recommended for access control installations that require advanced security or will be used in government and other higher-security settings.
Products that receive an SIA OSDP Verified mark must pass a comprehensive range of testing that validates conformity to SIA’s OSDP standard and related performance profiles.
By meeting OSDP standards, the Iris ID iCAM 7S Series of Advanced Multifactor Biometric Iris Readers achieve increased interoperability for various manufacturers’ devices. Bidirectional communication inherent with OSDP solutions allows the readers to talk directly to the centralised management platforms.
This allows security administrators to monitor remotely and configure iCAM 7S devices via the network, eliminating the need for costly and time-consuming on-site troubleshooting. Furthermore, the OSDP-enabled iCAM 7S only needs RS485 wires to communicate between the reader and the OSDP controller, further reducing the burden on security installers.
Currently, the Iris Access® iCAM 7000S, iCAM 7010S, iCAM 7101S, and iCAM 7111S solutions have all been OSDP Secure Profile Verified.
Benefits of being OSDP Verified include an authoritative listing of OSDP solutions; a consultative process that provides vendors with implementation and remediation guidance; a lightweight, non-punitive programme with no annual membership fees; and continuous access to open-source testing tools and community feedback that promotes device conformance through the product life cycle.
