Super Intelligence: The brains behind The Fortress Biometric Fingerprint Doorlock is an advanced fingerprint processor which converts users' thermal patterns to digital ones and zeros for precise fingerprint identification and verification in under a second!

Super Wisdom: The Fortress is powered by a dual-channel redundant Lithium-Ion battery array where either of the two internal batteries can power The Fortress for up to 1000 operations. Together, that's 2000 operations or roughly 6-12 months of regular use. As an alternative to periodic charging, this kit also comes with a cable to hardwire the doorlock. Under such circumstances, the internal batteries serve as a backup fail-safe power security system.

Super Versatility: The Fortress comes with a small LCD display which allows all programming and settings to be done at the lock with no external wiring or computer needed. Directly below the menu window is an innovative 4 button keypad system (UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT) which allows passcode input as an alternative to fingerprint entry.

Super Precision: The key to The Fortress' unparalleled pattern recognition success is its innovative matching algorithm. It can store up to 100 accounts. Each account centers around a given name, a passcode, and 5 sets of fingerprints. Each of the five sets contains 2 fingerprint scans. The five sets can be of the same finger (ensuring near zero false rejection rate (FRR) and false acceptance rate (FAR) or it can be of different fingers.

Super Convenience: Everything you need to install this super biometric fingerprint door lock is included, even a hole drill template. The user manual includes step by step instructions on the preparing and installation of The Fortress and the kit even includes an instructional DVD for those who'd rather see how it's done instead of reading about it.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

• Can a hacker break into the lock and steal the fingerprint images?
  No.  There are no fingerprint images stored in the lock and no way to reconstruct pictures of a fingerprint from the data.  The lock senses a thermal pattern from your finger and stores a template of minutia points that cannot be interpreted by any 3rd party.
• Can a thief lift an image of a fingerprint off the sensor, then construct a fake finger that can open the lock?
  Unlike most other fingerprint devices using a small glass window where you position your finger, The Fortress has only a sensor strip which you stroke your finger across. The sensor strip converts the thermal pattern to encrypted data. As such, there is no surface to leave a fingerprint on and therefore there is no danger of anyone detecting a fingerprint, duplicating a fingerprint, faking a finger to enter, or even getting an image of your fingerprint.
• Is The Fortress weather proof?
  Yes.  It is water resistant against the usual weather elements, such as rain, snow or dust.
• Do you lose all the fingerprints if the batteries go dead?
  No the fingerprint details are stored in non-volatile memory.
• What kind of sensor does The Fortress use?
  The Fortress uses a thermal sensor that is the same one used on IBM’s fingerprint-password keyboard.  However, its algorithm is more powerful to handle a much more challenging job:  1) To verify one fingerprint out of a thousand fingerprints, 2) to operate within the form factor of a small microprocessor, and 3) to function in an outdoor, weather-prone environment.
