How it works
01
IDENTIFY
When you place your finger on the biometric unit, the unique points identified by the reader are checked against the ‘biometric template’ that was created when you were enrolled on the system. Your access will either be verified or denied according to your access permissions.
02
SECURE
The Liguard controller communicates to the door locks (either magnetic or electrolocks) whether they should release or not. The reader will tell you whether your print has been verified or denied.
03
MANAGEMENT
All events are logged in the encrypted Optima software; which manages your access control system, from enrolment, to detailed reporting on occupancy, entry and egress. The software can be accessed locally, or through a network connection. Flexibility and control on the move with Optima mobile.
04
INTEGRATION
Optima integrates with CCTV, anti-intrusion solutions and Optima Time & Attendance module delivering a comprehensive security system.

Can my fingerprint be stolen?
No. Almas Industries readers never store a picture of your actual fingerprint. When you are enrolled, only a small subset of the characteristic minutiae are extracted and turned into a template. Since the template is only a mathematical representation that holds information about a few points on your fingerprint and not the entire image, it is impossible to backwards engineer an image of the print from the code.
Can my template be used by the police/ Gardai?
No. The information held by the software is not linked to any national police database, or any other database.
Is my fingerprint classed as personal data under GDPR?
Yes, absolutely, and Almas biometric readers and software are fully GDPR compliant
