PREFACE
Iris Camera BM-ET300AE is used in an access control system. The iris camera, which captures a user's iris image, is available
for following uses.
•As an enrollment camera for iris image capturing and iris server enrollment
To activate iris recognition, it is necessary to capture the iris images of a user and enroll the iris data in the iris server.
An iris camera generates iris data from iris images captured, and transfers the data to the iris server in the LAN (Local Area
Network). The iris data is enrolled in the iris database of the iris server. Up to 5 000 users can enroll their iris data. *1
*1For iris data enrollment, you need to install the optional Administration Software BM-ES300AE and User License Software
BM-EU30000E Series onto a PC. The PC needs to have Microsoft®Windows®operating system installed.
The total number of users that can be enrolled differs depending on the total license numbers of the User License Software
BM-EU30000E Series.
•As a recognition camera for iris recognition
Iris data of up to 1 000 users can be distributed from the iris server to iris cameras. If the iris data of a user has been dis-
tributed to iris cameras, the cameras can recognize the user in approx. 1.5 seconds.*2The user can check the recognition
result with the result indicator (ACCEPT/REJECT) on the front panel of the camera.
*2The recognition time may differ depending on capturing conditions.
*3The iris camera captures the iris images of both eyes at the same time, but the iris data of each eye is enrolled separately.
Enrollment/recognition by one
eye capturing is also available.
*4Capturing diagnosis is made
by the administration software
at the time of enrollment.
*5The user is recognized with the
iris data of either eye.
*6Up to 256 iris cameras (enroll-
ment and recognition cameras)
can be connected to the iris
server in the LAN.
•Iris recognition technology is a
way to identify a person with
iris patterns (an iris is the thin
plate-shaped film in front of the
eyeball), which differ among
each person. The iris pattern of
the left eye differs from that of
the right eye.
•Using iris cameras, users can carry out recognition without touching any devices.
•The iris data of users need to be enrolled in the iris server. In the iris recognition process, the users are recognized with the
enrolled iris data.

Enrollment

Recognition

For enrollment*6
Captures iris images of both eyes, generates iris data from
the iris images, and enrolls the iris data in the iris server.*3
Iris database
Administration Software BM-ES300AE*4
User License Software BM-EU30000E Series
For recognition*6
Captures the iris images of both eyes and
recognize a user by checking the iris
images with the iris data distributed.*5
Iris server
If no corresponding iris data
has been found in
the iris camera, the camera
accesses the administration
software to execute server
certification.
Enrolled iris data is distributed
to iris cameras.
