1 Introduction
Today’s digital world requires us to access and protect computer information and
interact securely with computer systems. The use of passwords has long been the
most popular method for accomplishing these tasks. . .until now. Sensar has
introduced a personal identification system which allows you to conveniently and
securely identify yourself to your PC and the Internet.
It all starts with an image of your eye—iris recognition. The Sensar camera
captures 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 of
your 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 physical
characteristic. With 266 measurable characteristics, the iris is the most unique,
data rich physical structure on the human body -- substantially more unique than a
fingerprint, which has about 35 measurable characteristics. And, unlike other
measurable human features the patterns in the iris do not change over time.
Research shows the matching accuracy of iris recognition is greater than that of
DNA testing.
No two people on earth have the same irises. In fact, even the left iris and right
iris of the same person have different identifiable patterns. These characteristics
are so unique no two eyes are the same. . . not even your own.
System Requirements
• 486 processor or better
• Sound card / speakers
Parallel Port version
• Microsoft Windows 95, Windows NT 4.0 or later versions
USB version
• USB (Universal Serial Bus Port) equipped Pentium IBM compatible
• Microsoft Windows 95 or 98
Page 5 of 7
To find out if your version of Windows 95 is USB compliant, right-click the “My
Computer” icon and select Properties. The System should be 4.00.950B (Windows
95B) or later. Windows 98 is USB compliant. If you are running Windows 95B
and USB is not available, you need to execute a program from your Windows 95
installation CD. Your Windows 95 CD should say on it “With USB Support.”
Open the Windows Explorer and go to the directory Drivers\USB\Enduser..
Double click on the file USBSUPP.EXE to install USB support to Windows 95. If
you do not find this file in this location, go to the Start Menu and select Find–Files
or Folders and search for USBSUPP.EXE on the CD. To find out more about the
Universal Serial Bus standard, visit the USB Website at www.usb.org.
2 Software Installation
To install the USB or Parallel Port version of the camera software, please follow
this procedure:
1. Insert the camera CD into your CD-ROM drive. Run the program
INSTALL.EXE located in the root directory of the CD. Follow the instructions
as they appear on your screen.
3Hardware Installation
Parallel Port version
1. Make sure the power to your computer is off.
2. Remove the printer cable from your PC, if installed.
3. Connect the camera cable to the printer port.
4. Connect the printer cable to the adapter cable.
5. Remove the keyboard cable from your PC
6. Install the cable with the round male connector into the keyboard port on your
PC.
7. Install your keyboard cable (round male connector) into the cable with the
round female connector.
8. Turn the power to your computer back on.
9. Run the camera software and verify that the unit is working properly.
USB version
1. Find the USB port on your computer.
Page 6 of 7
2. Plug the flat rectangular end of the detachable USB cable into the USB port of
your computer.
3. Plug the square end of the detachable USB cable into the rear of the camera.
4. Windows will automatically recognize the USB camera.
5. Run the camera software and verify that the unit is working properly.
If Windows does not recognize the camera then a problem exists. The most
common problem for users installing a USB device for the first time is that the
computer’s BIOS does not have the USB hardware on the motherboard enabled.
To rectify the problem you must restart the computer and enter the SETUP utility
to enable the USB hardware on the computer’s motherboard. After entering the
SETUP utility there will be a peripheral or advance section which will allow you to
enable the USB hardware. After enabling the USB, exit the SETUP utility making
sure you SAVE the changes when exiting.
4 Getting Started
After you have finished installing the camera, you will need to enroll for the first
time. Enrolling is the process of collecting four iris images and comparing them
against each other. The best image is selected as your enrolled image and will be
used in comparison checks during all future verifications.
The first person to use the system has administration rights. An Administrator can
enroll other people, delete enrollments, and uninstall the software. The
Administrator can also enroll other people as Users or Administrators. Users do
not 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 the
lens 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 or
smaller as you move toward or away from the window. The goal is make the
ball 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 the
camera with your hand. Keeping your eyes wide open, place your eye in the
focus position and listen for four shutter sounds from your speakers. These are
the four images being taken. If needed, cover the opposite eye to aid in image

taking. If no sound occurs, first check your sound setup. Next, try moving your
eye closer or farther away from the lens slightly. The system will timeout after
10 seconds if it finds no suitable images and you may need to start enrolling
again. The key points are to place your eye in focus and to keep your eye as
wide open as possible. Another suggestion is to try changing the position of
your head to obtain a better view of your eye.
4. Once you have succeeded in enrolling your eye (you may choose to enroll both
eyes if you wish), use the verify feature to verify your eye image. In this
operation, 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 and
you 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 during
any portion of the enrollment or verification process.
Congratulations! You can now use the Network Security Camera for securing
access to your computer, a computer network, or to a website on the Internet.
