Overview

DigitalPersona, without the SDK

FAQ

DigitalPersona integration questions

Which DigitalPersona readers are supported?

The popular U.are.U 4500 and 5160, plus the wider U.are.U / HID DigitalPersona family used for desktop capture.

Is this for attendance or verification?

Primarily capture, enrolment and 1:1 verification — ideal for login, POS and KYC. Pair it with attendance terminals for end-to-end flows.

Do I still need the DigitalPersona SDK?

Your app talks to the Biometric Gateway API; you avoid building directly against the native SDK on each platform.
