Leveraging Lumidigm Sensors with Innometriks New Rhino Touch Makes Self Service Validation Easy

Leveraging Lumidigm Sensors with Innometriks New Rhino Touch Makes Self Service Validation EasyLumidigm today announced that Innometriks has embedded Lumidigm’s V-Series multispectral fingerprint sensors into its new Rhino Touch reader that will be introduced at the ISC West Show, booth 22126 in the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas, April 10-12. The new Rhino Touch can be deployed as a self-service CAC/TWIC/PIV identification validation device that provides self-guided and fully-authenticated enrollment into a facility access control system via a CAC, TWIC or PIV card. As such, the new Rhino Touch can be a vetting station that provides complete validation of a CAC, TWIC or PIV credential – contact, contactless or magnetic stripe – including all card signatures, certificates and personal information.

Up until now, a trained operator was required to complete this task. The Rhino Touch brings together a comprehensive blend of technologies along with an intuitive user interface. Now, organizations can complete the validation in a self-service format, reducing labor costs and increasing ROI, while maintaining the chain of trust throughout the process.

“The market has been looking for a way to be more efficient at vetting these complex credentials,” explained John Cassise, Innometriks CEO. “The unique ability of Lumidigm’s sensors to get a great image of the finger the first time, every time is critical for making a truly intuitive biometric device.”

A large, seven-inch touchscreen provides a kiosk-level user interface to simplify instruction and minimize a user’s learning curve. Expanding on many key features of the successful Rhino reader, the Rhino Touch can be wall-mounted, used on a desktop or positioned on a free-standing post.

“We’re excited to provide Innometriks’ new Rhino Touch with a solution that conventional fingerprint technologies simply cannot deliver,” added Bill Spence, Lumidigm vice president for North America, Europe and Australia. “Lumidigm’s ability to get a great fingerprint image every time, regardless of the conditions, has significantly expanded the range of applications and environments where biometrics can be successfully deployed and scaled in the real world."

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
