1:1

One-to-one verification. Biometric validation method that compares the captured template of a fingerprint, finger veins or face of a user with the template of the same user stored in the memory of an assistance device or access control, being necessary for the user to present a unique identifier as a pre-comparison ID or card number.

 

1:N

One-to-many identification. Biometric validation method that compares the captured template of a fingerprint, finger veins or face of a user with all the templates stored in the memory of an assistance device or access control without the need for the user to present a prior identifier the comparison.

 

Access Level

Also known as Auxiliary Output. Bell output works as a switch or switch for connecting a bell and a button to activate it.

 

Algorithm

Method or set of operations organized in a logical and orderly manner to obtain a result or solve a problem. In OLEX devices, it is used to indicate the version of the capture, analysis and processing method of biometric technology applied to the identification of fingerprints, fingerprints or face recognition. The algorithm could be updated to improve the user experience and optimize biometric verification for faster, more accurate and secure validation.

 

Anti-Passback

Also known as APB. Access control function that restricts the entry of a user to the same area for the second time without previously registering an exit and vice versa.

 

Anti-Vandal

Characteristic of some OLEX devices to indicate that they can withstand vandalism (beatings and / or mistreatment)

Ethernet

Also known as IEEE802.3 standard. Data transmission standard for local area networks. Term usually used to indicate that a device is equipped with an RJ45 port to be connected to a local network.

 

Events

Also known as Registries, Markings, Transactions or Transfers. Information or data related to an access, verification of a user or any event that a device can record and save in its memory. Also used to indicate the maximum memory capacity of registers or events that has an assistance device or access control.

 

FAR

(False Acceptance Rate) False Acceptance Error. Range of error that could allow an unregistered user to be accepted as a registered user in a biometric validation. In the OLEX devices the F.A.R. It is less than 0.0001%.

 

FP

Fingerprint

 

FRR

(False Rejection Rate) False Rejection Error. Range of error that could restrict access to a registered user when considered as a user not registered in a biometric validation. In the OLEX devices the F.R.R. is less than 1%

 

Fail Safe

Also known as Open in Case of Failure. Term used to describe locks that require electrical power to keep a door closed, for example a magnetic lock, and in case of electrical "failure" (without power) the door will remain open.

 

Fail Secure

Also known as Closed in Case of Failure. Term used to describe locks that require electrical power to unlock and open a door, for example some types of counter-plate. In case of electrical "failure" (without power) the door remains closed and can be opened until energy is applied to the lock.

 

 

Fingerprint

It is equipped with a 2 megapixel image sensor and crystal quality prism. It has live tissue detection and works stably even in intense sunlight.

 

Firmware

 

Computer code for specific purposes recorded in a normal read-write memory that contains the lowest level logic that controls the electronic circuits of a device. It usually refers to the program that manages the circuits and functions of an electronic device and can be updated to improve operation or add functions.

 

Floodgates

 

También conocido como Interlock. Función de control de acceso que solo permite la apertura de una puerta simultáneamente en un grupo de 2 o más puertas

 

 

IP

(Internet Protocol). Internet protocol. Commonly known as IP Address. It is a numeric label that identifies a device within a LAN or WAN data network. The default IP of the OLEX devices is 192.168.1.225

 

LAN

(Local Area Network) Red de Área Local. Red de datos interna entre computadoras o dispositivos electrónicos.

 

Multi-Verification

Function of some OLEX devices that ask the user for more than one form of verification to validate an access. The combinations of the verification modes can be biometric by fingerprint, vein or face or by means of a card or password depending on the characteristics of the device.

 

NC

(Normaly Close). Normally Closed Contact. State of a relay or switch that in the idle state maintains the continuity of the circuit with the Common terminal. When activated, it loses continuity with the Common terminal, giving temporary continuity with the Normally Open contact.

 

NO

(Normaly Open). Normally Open Contact State of a relay in which, in the idle state, there is no continuity of the circuit with the Common terminal until the relay is activated.

 

ONVIF

(Open Network Video Interface Forum). Open Forum of Network Video Interfaces. A global standard in development that aims to guarantee the interoperability or compatibility of IP video surveillance devices and other electronic security products independently of the brand or manufacturer.

 

Operation Humidity

It is used to indicate the range of humidity in the environment in which a device can operate stably.

 

Optical Sensor

Device for the capture and verification of fingerprints that operates through a visible light source, a CCD and an exposure glass.

 

PIN

Personal Identification Number

 

Template

Term used to describe the digital information of a fingerprint, face or finger vein. In OLEX devices it is used as the unit to indicate the amount of fingerprints, faces or fingerprints that can be stored in the database of an assist or access control device.

 

Protection Rate (IP)

Also known as Index Protection or IP Protection. Level of protection of an electronic device against the entry of solid or liquid materials (usually water). It consists of two digits, in which the first digit corresponds to the level of protection against solids and the second digit corresponds to liquids.

 

RS-232 

Serial communication standard for data transmission between 2 devices.

 

RS-485

Differential point-multipoint communication standard. It allows the transmission of data between several devices addressed by twisted cable (UTP cable) over long distances. It is possible to connect up to 32 devices in an RS485 communication loop up to a maximum distance of 1,200 meters depending on the transmission speed.
