Authentication Options

Flexible Authentication

BioConnect enhances authentication by offering a range of options beyond traditional biometrics, including digital mobile authenticators, mobile biometrics, mobile wallets, cards, and PINs. These solutions address exceptions without requiring additional hardware. As the first and only biometric provider to integrate digital mobile authentication platforms like DUO, Okta, PingID, SMS, and mobile biometrics for physical access, BioConnect sets a new standard for seamless and secure authentication.

Privacy & Compliance

Consent Tracking

Privacy & Compliance

Within the next three years most enterprises will be operating in jurisdictions that require consent from users before biometric enrollment, following in the footsteps of Europe (GDPR), Illinois (BIPA) and California (CCPA). Traditional point-to-point integrations can easily create gaps in your operational controls that can result in breaches and fines. BioConnect offers Consent Management to capture and track user consent for enrollment and use of biometric data in an auditable manner.

Project Manager, National Ambulatory Services Niall Bowen

"We chose BioConnect for several reasons, primarily the ability to integrate their system seamlessly with our system, but closely followed up by their feature set and quality of the [biometric readers] themselves. The almost immediate availability of the product – coupled with their excellent support – meant they really did stand out from the competition."

FAQs

What is a biometric reader?

A biometric reader is a hardware device that authenticates individuals using unique physical identifiers such as a fingerprint or facial authentication, rather than just a card or PIN that could be compromised. In an access control context, biometric readers are installed at entry points and verify the identity of the person requesting access before granting or denying entry.

What types of biometric readers does BioConnect offer?

BioConnect supports its own Arc series readers: Arc Rex, Arc Vision, and Arc Touch as well as the following Suprema readers: BioStation 2A, BioLite N2, BioEntry P2, and FaceStation F2.

How do BioConnect biometric readers integrate with my existing access control system?

BioConnect's biometric readers are designed to work alongside your existing access control system, not replace it. The readers connect to your access control panels via OSDP or Wiegand, while BioConnect Enterprise software sits between the readers and your PACS, managing biometric enrollment, authentication, and audit records centrally. BioConnect integrates with leading platforms including LenelS2, Genetec, Software House, Brivo, Acre Security, Paxton, and Dormakaba.

Do biometric readers require manual enrollment?

Not with BioConnect. Our No Enrollment feature syncs existing profile images from your access control system for instant biometric authentication — no manual re-enrollment required. This eliminates the most common barrier to biometric adoption: the time and disruption of re-enrolling thousands of users across your organization.

Are biometric readers suitable for outdoor use?

Yes — Arc Touch is rated IP67 and IK09, making it suitable for outdoor and demanding environments. It is the world's fastest outdoor fingerprint reader and is built to perform in conditions where temperature, moisture, and physical durability are critical factors. Arc Rex is also built for demanding environments with IP67 and IK09 ratings.
