Workstar iGuard Access Control & Time Attendance System with fingerprint reader
iGuard is a Biometrics (fingerprint identification) and Contactless Smart Card Access Control & Time
Attendance system designed for business. Rather than using the traditional optical fingerprint scanner, it
uses the most-advanced capacitive fingerprint sensor for fingerprint acquisition, to achieve the highest
fingerprint-identification results in the industry. And unlike other security systems, iGuard includes the
embedded Web Server, which enables all computers, such as Apple Macintosh, PCs & Unix machines, in
the corporate computer network to setup, maintain and access the information of the device simultaneously
using the well-known Internet Browser.
TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
1. Built-in Web Server:
The built-in Web Server enables all the computers in the corporate network to directly & simultanously
access the device using any Internet Browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer & Netscape Navigator.
Different computer platforms such as Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows & Linux machines can access
the device. No additional software is required.
So whether you are in an airport lounge or a hotel
room, you can always check if your employees are
already in the office or not, and you can even control,
modify or disable their access rights to your office
remotely via internet connection.
2. Capacitive Fingerprint Sensor:
Instead of using the traditional optical scanner, iGuard
is the 1st Fingerprint Biometrics Security System that
uses the most advanced Solid-state, silicon-based
Capacitive Fingerprint Sensor.
The new fingerprint sensor features enhanced imaging
capabilities, electrostatic discharge (ESD) performance
and improved ruggedness to provide superior levels of
accuracy and reliability for fingerprint authentication.
When a finger contacts the iGuard sensor surface, the sensor measures the capacitance at each pixel in the
256 x 300 array in the sensor's surface. Differences in capacitance correspond to the ridges, valleys and
pores that characterize a unique fingerprint.
The new fingerprint sensor eliminates the limitations of other traditional scanners, including edge distortion,

low-image resolution, scratched platens, mis-aligned optics and bulky size. It is also unaffected by day to
day fingerprint variations such as cuts, swelling & dirts.
3. Contactless SmartCard:
With this feature, your workforce can gain access to the iGuard faster and smarter, by using the Philips
Mifare Contactless Smart Card. Each user would have
his / her own smart card, which stores the user
information including the name, company & branch code,
and the fingerprint information. This feature is specially
useful during high-traffic period, such as during the
beginning and the end of the day, that most employees
clock in and out for the day at almost the same time.
4. Secure Access:
Network integrity and security are ensured via SSL
network encryption (optional).
5. Built-in Database Server:
The built-in Database Server allows obtaining the
employee information and the access & attendance
records easily, thus cutting the processing time for
jobs like payroll calculation from days to minutes.
All the information is real-time information, instead of
week-old or day-old data. In contrast, other systems
must use dedicated computers running special
proprietary software to retrieve the information, and
usually dedicated persons are required to perform
the jobs.
FEATURES:
1. Multiple verification methods:
With iGuard, users can be authenticated and verified through either Fingerprint, Smartcard or Password.
And depending on the different time period, you can set up the iGuard that the users can just simply
presents his smartcard to get authorized (such as during high-traffic period), or requires the high-security
fingerprint verification (such as after office hours or during weekends and holidays).
2. Access Rights:
When you can easily and conveniently assign different access rights to your employees, you can plan your
security better and maximize the effectiveness of the human resources . And with the built-in Web Server
tecnnology, iGuard empowers you to manage the access rights of each individual employees or a group of
employees easily anytime, anywhere using any web-enabled computers or mobile devices. For example,
you can assign the staff members of the marketing department the rights to get in the office premises during
weekdays from nine to five only, or prevent a particular employee from entering the computer server room.

3. Reports:
iGuard includes three built-in reports: Access Log, Attendance Report & Daily In/Out report, that can be
accessed via any web-enabled computer with web browser. Should more sophisticated reports be required,
such as for the payroll purposes, the information can be downloaded and saved in Microsoft Excel format
and in plain text format.
In addition, the access records can be saved in any PC in the network in the popular ODBC database
format in real-time manner, and other applications can conveniently obtain the information from the ODBC
(the required software, iServer.exe, is available free-of-charge in our download page).
4. Economical:
All the necessary hardware and software is built-in to the device, including the hardware to connect the
system to the corporate network. All you need to do is
to plug-in the popular RJ-45 network cable to the back
of the device. No other hardware and wiring is
necessary. In contrast, all other existing security
systems use the old RS232 & RS485 wiring system to
connect to the dedicated computers (not to the
corporate network), and it usually involves a lot of extra
wiring works.
5. Small Footprint:
iGuard is a wall-mounted unit elegantly designed with
extremely small footprint. In fact, it is the smallest
stand-alone biometrics device available in the market
today. It can be mounted easily and conveniently
without requiring a lot of space.
6. User-Friendliness
iGuard is an Internet-Ready Security System, and is the first and the only security product in the market that
uses TCP/IP as the protocol to communicate with other iGuards and the outside world. The protocol
enables the device to directly connect to the corporate network via the existing cable wiring. And since the
TCP/IP protocol is the Internet protocol, it allows all computers in the corporate network to access the
device using the Internet Browser software. As a result, users do not need to learn to use a new software to
access and administer the device, and most users can start using the device in minutes. In contrast, all
other similar security systems use proprietary protocol & wiring, and proprietary software is required to
access these systems.
And for compatibility purposes, iGuard also supports conventional interfaces including Wiegands, RS-485 &
RS-232.
ADVANCED FEATURES:
1. Master/Slave configuration:
Mulitple iGuard units can be setup as a Master/Slave network. Under this configuration, one iGuard would
be assigned as the Master, and all other units are configured as slaves. When a user enroll in any one of
these iGuard units, his / her user information, including the fingerprint information, would be replicated to all
other iGuard units in the same master / slave network, so the same user does not need to enroll multiple
times in order to have the access rights to all these units.

2. Remote Door Relay:
This controller further increases the security level by
controlling the door strike from inside of the premises.
With this optional controller, the iGuard sends a special
signal to this controller to open the door, rather than
directly open the door with the internal relay. Because
this optional controller is installed inside the premises,
it is now impossible for the intruders to get into the
premises, even if they break the iGuard.
