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]
