Biometric authentication for access control and security monitoring systems delivers increased protection for sensitive areas or critical infrastructure. It also provides a new level of user convenience with touchless entry control.
ams OSRAM’s next-gen infrared LEDs using its IR:6 Infrabright chip technology provides up to 35% more brightness and achieves up to 42% increased efficiency over current technologies. That means more illumination where you need it and longer battery life.

Secure and touchless authentication
Access control and security monitoring systems grant increased protection, convenience, and peace of mind for people and organizations. Having the right verification mechanism is crucial. The touchless-authentication trend has accelerated demand for 2D and 3D authentication sensing solutions for use in residential and public building access and in the commercial spaces.
Utilizing three different forms of 2D and 3D sensing technologies, ams OSRAM delivers all key components for face authentication; from the VCSEL-based near infrared (NIR) flood and dot pattern illuminators, to discrete NIR LEDs, infrared illumination increases the image quality and sensitivity of the receiving image sensors. Reference designs including software are available; making the adoption of 3D face authentication based on ams OSRAM’s key components and software a simple and fast process.
Infrared illumination for industrial and home security
Infrared illumination plays a significant role in the broad field of security – ranging from indoor and outdoor security systems. With a long heritage in developing infrared LEDs, ams OSRAM is the technology leader, offering different products matching the various requirements of each application area – such as power classes up to 15W per device and 850, 920 and 940 nm wavelength options, depending on the system setup.
