Why Choose Iris detection over fingerprint scanning?
Iris detection is more secure and has a large number of unique patterns. This is a quicker and easier process, takes less than 2 seconds and require no contact. It also doesn’t matter if you are wearing glasses or contacts, the
technology will still work — you certainly can’t say the same when it
comes to using gloves with a fingerprint reader.
