Page 4 of 71 IntroductionToday’s digital world requires us to access and protect computer information andinteract securely with computer systems. The use of passwords has long been themost popular method for accomplishing these tasks. . .until now. Sensar hasintroduced a personal identification system which allows you to conveniently andsecurely identify yourself to your PC and the Internet.It all starts with an image of your eye—iris recognition. The Sensar cameracaptures an image of your iris and creates an identifying template of 256 bytes.This is your enrolled digital code and is stored in a database. When verification ofyour identity is then requested, the camera will take another image of your eye,digitally encode it, and compare it to your enrolled digital code. If they match,then your identity has been verified.Iris recognition is called a biometric because it is a measurable physicalcharacteristic. With 266 measurable characteristics, the iris is the most unique,data rich physical structure on the human body -- substantially more unique than afingerprint, which has about 35 measurable characteristics. And, unlike othermeasurable human features the patterns in the iris do not change over time.Research shows the matching accuracy of iris recognition is greater than that ofDNA testing.No two people on earth have the same irises. In fact, even the left iris and rightiris of the same person have different identifiable patterns. These characteristicsare so unique no two eyes are the same. . . not even your own.System Requirements• 486 processor or better• Sound card / speakersParallel Port version• Microsoft Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 or later versionsUSB version• USB (Universal Serial Bus Port) equipped Pentium IBM compatible• Microsoft Windows 95 or 98

After entering theSETUP utility there will be a peripheral or advance section which will allow you toenable the USB hardware. After enabling the USB, exit the SETUP utility makingsure you SAVE the changes when exiting.4 Getting StartedAfter you have finished installing the camera, you will need to enroll for the firsttime. Enrolling is the process of collecting four iris images and comparing themagainst each other. The best image is selected as your enrolled image and will beused in comparison checks during all future verifications.The first person to use the system has administration rights. An Administrator canenroll other people, delete enrollments, and uninstall the software. TheAdministrator can also enroll other people as Users or Administrators. Users donot have administration rights.1. Start the Enrollment software and enter the information as it prompts you.2. Focusing—the user must position his/her eye about four inches away from thelens before a focused image can be taken. To do this consistently every time,you will see a ball of light when looking into the lens which gets bigger orsmaller as you move toward or away from the window. The goal is make theball of light approximately the same size as the target window and, therefore,achieve the correct focused position.3. The camera can be placed on an elevated level surface or you can pick up thecamera with your hand. Keeping your eyes wide open, place your eye in thefocus position and listen for four shutter sounds from your speakers. These arethe four images being taken. If needed, cover the opposite eye to aid in image

The system will timeout after10 seconds if it finds no suitable images and you may need to start enrollingagain. The key points are to place your eye in focus and to keep your eye aswide open as possible. Another suggestion is to try changing the position ofyour head to obtain a better view of your eye.4. Once you have succeeded in enrolling your eye (you may choose to enroll botheyes if you wish), use the verify feature to verify your eye image. In thisoperation, only one image will be taken and compared to your enrolled image.If they match, then you will have verified your eye. Place your eye in focus andyou will hear a “ding” sound to signal that you have been verified successfully.If it does not work, try the same suggestions as in the enrolling process.NOTE: Do not place your fingers or anything else over the black window duringany portion of the enrollment or verification process.Congratulations! You can now use the Network Security Camera for securingaccess to your computer, a computer network, or to a website on the Internet.5Troubleshooting
