Global Rainmaker unveils two new products

Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Global Rainmakers Inc. introduces two new products, the EyeSwipe and the HCAM. Both products are miniaturized versions of the New York-based company’s HBox technology, performing iris recognition at a distance.

Different configurations of the EyeSwipe and HCAM serve different security requirements, ranging from access control in high‐throughput environments - from up to 20 to 30 people per minute - to vehicular access control, 12 vehicles per minute. It can also secure financial transactions at ATMs, replacing the traditional card‐swipe and PIN procedure. [end]
