Unity 20 USB-S

 

The Unity 20 USB-S is an ultra-compact, smart fingerprint recognition system built for simplicity, security, and seamless integration. Whether you’re deploying biometric authentication in enterprise systems, embedded environments, self-service kiosks or custom applications, Unity 20 USB-S delivers powerful performance in a sleek, affordable package.

 

Smart, All-in-One Biometric System

More than just a reader, Unity 20 USB-S is a fully programmable fingerprint recognition system. It captures, extracts, matches, and securely stores fingerprint templates—all within the device itself.

 

Key Benefits
  • End-to-End Fingerprint Processing: Captures, extracts, and matches fingerprints directly on the device—no need for external software or cloud processing.
  • Secure Template Storage: Keeps biometric data safely stored within the device, reducing exposure to network vulnerabilities and enhancing privacy compliance.
  • Fully Programmable Platform: Offers developers flexibility to customize fingerprint workflows and integrate seamlessly into diverse applications.
  • Fast Authentication and Low Latency: On-device, real-time matching enables rapid identity verification without relying on host system resources.
  • Reduced Integration Complexity: Eliminates the need for separate biometric modules or middleware, streamlining deployment.
  • Enhanced Reliability: Operates independently of host system performance, making it ideal for embedded systems and mission-critical environments.

 

Works Anywhere, Right Out of the Box

Unity 20 USB-S connects effortlessly to Windows®, Android®, Linux®, and macOS® systems using a single USB cable. Thanks to its Serial-over-USB architecture, it enumerates as a standard CDC/ACM virtual COM port—no proprietary drivers or OS-specific frameworks required.

  • Plug-and-play deployment
  • Compatible with VDI/thin clients and remote desktop sessions
  • Ideal for tightly managed or resource-constrained IT environments

 

Developer-Friendly by Design

Unity 20 USB-S is built with developers and system integrators in mind. An available free developer kit includes robust tools and documentation to accelerate application development and reduce integration friction.

  • Built-in Fingerprint Management System (FMS) API that supports C/C++, .NET, Python, Java, and any language that can open a serial port
  • Well-documented serial command set
