Futronic FS80H / FS81H USB2.0 Fingerprint Scanner

The Futronic FS80H / FS81H USB2.0 Fingerprint Scanner is a high-quality optical biometric fingerprint scanning solution designed for fingerprint recognition, identification, authentication, and verification applications. The FS80H uses advanced CMOS sensor technology and a precision optical system to capture high-quality fingerprint images with minimal distortion. It can capture a raw fingerprint image into a PC in approximately 100 milliseconds, making it suitable for a wide range of fingerprint recognition applications.

The Futronic FS80H Fingerprint Scanner features a durable crown-glass scanning window and infrared illumination technology. In addition, its automatic light adjustment helps optimize fingerprint image quality for different finger conditions, including wet, dry, and blurred fingerprints. The FS80H also includes Live Finger Detection (LFD), which can help reject fake fingerprints when used with appropriate software.

The FS81H is the OEM module version of the FS80H, designed for manufacturers and system integrators who want to embed a fingerprint scanner into their own products, such as handheld POS terminals and portable voter registration systems. Unlike the FS80H, the FS81H is supplied without the plastic housing and USB cable and does not support Live Finger Detection.

Futronic FS81H OEM Fingerprint Module

The Futronic FS81H is designed for OEM manufacturers and system integrators that need to integrate fingerprint scanning technology directly into their own devices.

For example, the FS81H can be integrated into:

• Handheld POS terminals
• Portable voter registration stations
• Biometric terminals
• Custom authentication devices
• Embedded identity verification systems
• Industrial biometric equipment
• Portable data collection devices

The FS81H uses the same basic fingerprint scanning technology as the FS80H but is supplied without the external plastic housing and USB cable. Therefore, it is more suitable for manufacturers developing customized biometric hardware. The FS81H measures approximately 56 × 45 × 19 mm and weighs about 80 grams. It does not support the FS80H’s Live Finger Detection feature.

High-Quality 500 DPI Fingerprint Capture

The Futronic FS80H provides 500 DPI fingerprint image resolution with a 320 × 480 pixel image and 256 grayscale levels. This high-quality fingerprint capture makes the scanner suitable for fingerprint recognition and biometric authentication applications where consistent image quality is important.

Moreover, the FS80H uses four infrared LEDs to illuminate the finger during scanning. The illumination intensity is automatically adjusted according to fingerprint conditions to improve the quality of captured images. This can be particularly useful when scanning fingers that are dry, wet, or otherwise difficult to capture.

Live Finger Detection Technology

The FS80H includes Live Finger Detection (LFD) technology. With suitable software, the LFD feature can help identify live fingers and reject certain fake fingerprint mater
