Futronic FS88H FIPS201/PIV USB 2.0

Pros: - The device looks, feels, and behaves like a professional fingerprint scanner. Really solid. - FIPS201, FBI certified, etc. - Gives you the option of deciding, for each user, whether they log into Windows using just password, just fingerprint, either one, or both password and fingerprint. That's a big plus. - Integrates nicely in the OS... the add-on pack allows convenient file encryption/decryption, and so on. Cons: - The software is all in broken English, which makes me slightly uneasy... just feels like it was cheaply outsourced to some one-man team far, far away. Hopefully the quality of the UI / English-lacking interface does not reflect the quality of what's behind the software. - I don't see any way of updating the drivers as new ones may come out over time. They aren't published on any website and get sent to you initially by the merchant via email. Maybe you can just request them again from the merchant (Fulcrum Biometrics) if you ever need an update, e.g. for new versions of Windows, etc. I also don't see any auto-update mechanism in the main software. That being said, everything is easy to use, works as expected, PDF documentation explains everything clearly, so all that is reassuring. I've done quite a bit of research while trying to find a good fingerprint scanner, and believe this is the best there is. Highly recommended.

Good experience: reliable performance and straightforward setup ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ​Writing this to help others looking for honest feedback. The scanner arrived exactly as shown in the photos and is built with solid, durable materials. ​Setup was quick and completely hassle-free; it was immediately compatible with my system right out of the box without any software issues. In daily use, fingerprint registration is fast and accurate, scanning correctly without triggering errors. ​Shipping from the store was punctual and the packaging was safe. If you need a functional biometric reader and a reliable seller, this is a solid and recommended option. Thnx!

hardware works fine, but there is no source code for the linux driver which I really need to develop my own applications. The Manufacturer offered to sell me an SDK for $1000, but I refuse to participate in that bait and switch tactic.

This device, which was sold through Fulcrum Biometrics, was fairly easy to set up. It sure makes it easy to have that extra step of security for your computer! When I had a problem, or when I needed to ask them a question, Fulcrum Biometrics was more than happy to help us out :)

Fingerprint reader is spot on and nails my fingerprints every time. Haven't been able to fool it yet with other fingers or with other people's fingerprints. Knocked one star off because programming website log-ins is not intuitive and a bit cumbersome at first. That said, once I figured it out, it is much easier to log them in.

I will use this product for DMIT tests which is a kind of assessment from fingerprints so the clearness is very important for me. I didn’t sure about the performance of the product before buying but I am very satisfied.

I purchased the scanner and the computer recognized it. I wanted the scanner to log into Windows and the note in the box said to email the company. I did and they sent me a download link. They also asked me if I wanted the scanner to store online passwords. I said yes and I received the software also. (Software for both items was free of charge.) The password software isn't as robust as the software on my laptop but works OK. Overall I'm happy with the product and the software I received.

This product may be a good product. But this seller is NOT!! I received a broken product and no support. I spent hours on the phone trying to get support and got nothing.

Only has room for 50 passwords!!!! very sad when i learn this from the customer support and they didnt have any solution.... Has some bugs too.,.. Works fine for windows login and website otherwise. Would have like to know the 50 webpage limit b4 purchasing

Perfeito. Chegou rápido.

Produto de boa qualidade, veio bem embalado e a entrega foi muito rápida!

Condiz com o que é publicado

Comprei o aparelho em Julho de 2021. No começo até funcionava , mas de um tempo para cá para fazer a leitura tem que colocar o dedo umas 20 vezes, e as vezes não faz leitura. Contactei o Sr. Paulo da MVNET e este me informou que não existe assistencia tecnica para o aparelho, e a garantia era de 3 meses. Ao comparar este aparelho que comprei com outro velho e usado, o usado dá de 10. NÃO RECOMENDO A LOJA, POIS SÓ DÁ 3 MESES DE GARANTIA, enquanto outras dão um ano. Se fosse outra loja já teria me trocado o aparelho.
