Specifications for the FM220 are as published by its manufacturer on this page’s earlier version; DigitalPersona specifications are from HID’s datasheet.

Aadhaar (UIDAI) authentication: the FM220 is commonly used for Aadhaar-based applications. The HID DigitalPersona 4500 is not UIDAI certified, so it is not a replacement for Aadhaar authentication; BSD Infotech does not currently supply an Aadhaar L1 device. For non-Aadhaar uses such as attendance, login and software verification, the DigitalPersona 4500 is a suitable alternative.
Software

Moving Your Software to a New Reader

Already have software built for the FM220?

Each fingerprint reader comes with its own SDK, so software written for one model needs changes to work with another. BSD Infotech can integrate the new reader into your attendance, access or verification software, or build the application for you.
