Datacard Science of Security brochure

There are three basic components to consider when building a reliable photo ID system: identification software that runs the system, devices to capture images, and card printers to produce the desired ID cards.

Software
Identification software is where it all begins. Entrust's ID Works® Software is versatile, easy to use software that fits virtually any user environment. This application enables you to customize cards designs, manage cardholder images and related data, and print custom reports. more about Datacard ID Works software

Capture Images
Various types of photo capture devices may used as part of an ID system. These include a web camera, SLR digital camera or the camera on your smart phone.

Thermal Card Printer
After data capture, a desktop card printer prints the card in full-color. It may also encode the magnetic stripe or smart card chip. more about Datacard printers
