Integrated Biometrics Five-0

Integrated Biometrics Five-0

Manufacturer: Integrated Biometrics, USA

The Integrated Biometrics Five-0 is a compact, mobile FAP 50-class fingerprint scanner designed for full ten-finger enrollment, including both flat and rolled fingerprint capture. The device is FBI Appendix F certified and intended for applications requiring high-quality biometric imagery, such as AFIS identification systems, subject enrollment, border control, and public safety solutions.

The Five-0 utilizes Integrated Biometrics' patented LES (Light Emitting Sensor) technology. Unlike traditional optical scanners, this technology enables the construction of very thin and lightweight devices while maintaining the image quality required by the FBI. The sensor is designed for operation both indoors and in the field, including in bright sunlight. The manufacturer also highlights the LES technology's enhanced resistance to finger contaminants such as oil, grease, water, and dust.

Its large active area allows for the simultaneous capture of four fingers, two thumbs, and individual rolled prints, enabling a complete 10-print enrollment procedure. The Five-0 can be used either as a standalone desktop device or integrated into a terminal or other biometric system; the manufacturer offers the Five-0 Desktop (FV12100-E00) and Five-0 OEM (FV12000-E00) versions, respectively.

Its low weight, direct USB power supply, and low energy consumption make the scanner suitable for use with computers and mobile terminals. The design is adapted for field and professional use, and the scanning surface meets requirements for mechanical durability and IP65 sealing in the area between the frame and the sensor surface.

Supported operating systems

According to the current Integrated Biometrics Five-0 product page, the manufacturer specifies the following:
- Microsoft Windows 11 Desktop
- Android 15 or later
- Linux Kernel 5.x, 6.x, or a later supported version
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS or later
- Debian 12 or later

Software required for operation

The primary software package for the Five-0 is the Integrated Biometrics IBScanUltimate SDK (Software Development Kit). The manual specifies installing the current version of IBScanUltimate as the first step before connecting the device.

The IBScanUltimate package includes:

- drivers and software components required for communication with the scanner
- API (Application Programming Interface) enabling device integration with an application
- API documentation
- libraries for supported platforms
- demonstration applications
- sample source code
- support for flat and rolled image capture
- multi-device and multi-threading support
- fingerprint quality assessment functions
- support for encryption and secure communication within supported SDK versions

The IBScanUltimate SDK is not a standard application for managing a database of individuals; rather, it serves as a communication and programming layer between the scanner and the actual biometric system. A real-world deployment therefore requires an application that utilizes the Integrated Biometrics SDK—this could be a custom solution developed by an integrator or an off-the-shelf system (such as AFIS, person registration, access control, record-keeping, or identity verification) that supports the Five-0 scanner.

Applications

The Five-0 is designed primarily for systems requiring high-quality, certified fingerprint enrollment, suitable for both stationary and mobile workstations.

Typical applications include:

- ten-fingerprint enrollment (10-print enrollment)
- biometric identification and verification of individuals
- AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System)
- biometric enrollment stations
- police and other uniformed services
- mobile identification units
- border control and immigration
- identity document issuance systems
- National ID programs
- military applications
