IDEMIA MorphoAccess SIGMA Lite
IDEMIA MorphoAccess SIGMA Lite
The MorphoAccess SIGMA Lite series are slim fingerprint access terminals built for the places a full-size reader will not fit — glass and aluminium door mullions, turnstiles, and server rack doors. The narrow body is the point: it puts IDEMIA's fingerprint recognition on mounting surfaces that would otherwise be limited to a card reader.
Identification runs 1:10,000 in a second, and the terminal holds 30,000 templates, 250,000 IDs in its authorised-user list and a million logs on the device itself — so it keeps working, and keeps a record, when the network does not.
Models
- SIGMA Lite — fingerprint terminal with a status indicator, for access control where no on-device interaction is needed.
- SIGMA Lite+ — adds a 2.8-inch QVGA colour capacitive touchscreen, for time and attendance where staff select a reason or see feedback at the door.
Both are IP65 rated and vandal resistant to IK08, and both embed a web server for enrolment, configuration and log retrieval from a browser — no client software at the door. A contactless card reader is available as an option in Prox, iClass or MIFARE/DESFire/NFC, so the terminal can run fingerprint, card, or both together.
Anti-fraud features cover the ways attendance systems are usually cheated: fake-finger detection, a duress finger that opens the door while raising an alarm, and timed anti-passback to stop one credential admitting two people. The series is compatible with existing Morpho and Bioscrypt installations, so it can replace ageing readers without re-enrolling everyone.
When nobody should touch the reader
SIGMA Lite reads a finger on a sensor. MorphoWave reads four fingerprints from a wave of the hand — fully contactless, which is what high-traffic and hygiene-sensitive entrances need.
How it fits with Openitem
SIGMA Lite sits alongside the readers, scanners and controllers on our hardware page, reporting through the same access-control platform — so a fingerprint at a turnstile and a visitor pass at the gate land in the same record.
