Fingerprint Terminology and Solutions
1:1 Verification at SAVIOR Reader Level
Also known as 1:1 Authentication. Fingerprints are enrolled and stored on a Smart Card. Verification occurs by matching the live fingerprint against the template on the Smart Card. Models 8603, 8604, 8605, and GPRS-enabled 8703, 8704, 8705 support 1:1 Verification.
1:N Identification at SAVIOR Reader Level
Fingerprints are enrolled either at the reader or a computer station and transferred to a central database for deployment to other readers. Verification involves matching a live fingerprint against multiple templates stored in the reader. Models 8603, 8604, 8605, and GPRS-enabled 8703, 8704, 8705 support 1:N Identification.
1:1 Verification at SAVIOR Computer Application Level
Aids in identifying individuals (e.g., cashiers, storekeepers) without a card, preventing fraud. The operator selects an employee name, and the fingerprint is placed on the reader. Results are displayed on the computer screen. SAVIOR's Advanced 1:N Enrollment, Computer Level Identification & Template Deployment Software (AEID Software) facilitates this.
1:N Identification at SAVIOR Computer Application Level
Used to identify individuals registered under different names or to identify blacklisted users. Fingerprint templates are stored in a computer database and searched against existing templates. SAVIOR offers 1:5000 and 1:20,000 license options for 1:N identification, with search times varying by system specifications. AEID Software also supports this functionality.

Advantages & Disadvantages of Enrollment Processes
SAVIOR offers flexibility in managing enrollment methods for employees, allowing shifts between 1:1, 1:N, or Smart Card only options.
Type of Enrollment | Process Description | Storage of Fingerprint Template | Advantages | Disadvantages | Where to Use |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1:N Enrollment at Reader Level | Uses USB Keyboard. Fingers enrolled on reader, template stored in SAVIOR Reader. Can be transferred to computer database for deployment to other readers. | Inside SAVIOR Reader and transferred to SAVIOR Enrollment and Template Management Software. | Cost-effective (no Smart Card, no central enrollment). Fingerprint templates transferable. | Requires central enrollment (MSO 300) for >500 users. May need Smart Card for low-quality fingerprints or bypass. Operator must transfer templates. | Cost-effective for organizations with <500 users per location. |
1:N Enrollment at Computer Level | Requires MSO 300. Enrollment via SAVIOR Enrollment & Template Management Software. Templates stored in software database and ready for deployment. | SAVIOR Enrollment and Template Management Software. | Cost-effective (no Smart Card). Essential for 1:N Computer Application Level and >500 users per reader. | Higher cost than 1:N reader level, but cheaper than 1:1 for >500 users. | Cost-effective for organizations with >500 users per reader. |
1:1 Enrollment at Reader Level | Uses 'SAVIOR Enrollment Master Card' or USB Keyboard. Fingers enrolled on reader, template stored in Smart Card-based Identity Card. | Inside the Contactless Smart Card based Identity Card. | Smart Card doubles as Identity Card. Compatible with SAVIOR 3000 & 7000 Series. Easy operator use. Unlimited employees per reader. Handles low-quality fingers. Fingerprint bypass possible. Antipass back facility. Fast reader startup. | Added cost for Smart Card. Re-enrollment needed for duplicate card issuance as template is not at computer level. | Where identity card is required; for damaged/low-quality fingerprints; for ease of operation; fast reader startup; faster queue clearance. |
1:1 Enrollment at Computer Level | Requires customized 7603 and Enrollment Software to transfer templates to Smart Card-based Identity Card. | Inside the Contactless Smart Card based Identity Card and the Customized enrollment software. | Centralized 1:1 enrollment, secure card distribution. All advantages of 1:1 reader level apply. Fingerprint template available at computer level. No re-enrollment for duplicate cards. | Higher cost than 1:1 reader level and 1:N reader level. | Where highly secured card distribution is needed. |

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
- Q1. We have 20 locations across India with less than 50 employees and a factory with 2000 employees. What enrollment method should I use?
- A1. For the 20 locations with <50 employees, use 1:N Enrollment at Reader Level. Transfer templates to the factory for centralized control and deployment. For the factory with 2000 employees, 1:N enrollment at Computer Level with MSO 300 is recommended.
- Q2. One of the location is a construction site with no computer GPRS connectivity or Electricity. Can I record Attendance?
- A2. Yes. Enroll users with 1:N Enrollment using USB Keyboard. Transfer data using a Pen Drive. Use a Metal Box with Battery backup and a solar panel for the reader.
- Q3. Why can we not use 1:N Enrollment on Reader above 500 Users?
- A3. 1:N identification relies on fingerprint differences. With more users, the probability of similar fingerprints increases. Reader-level sensors are smaller and capture fewer features than larger sensors like MSO 300, making them less effective for large user bases (>500).
- Q4. Why should we transfer Fingerprint Template to a Central Database?
- A4. Centralization allows flexible deployment to any reader. It also serves as a secondary backup, preventing the need for re-enrollment if a primary method fails.
- Q5. I have used 1:N Enrollment on Reader but some Employees are not getting enrolled, what should I do?
- A5. Consider 1:N Enrollment at Computer Level with MSO 300, or use 1:1 enrollment with Smart Cards, depending on the user's fingerprint quality.
- Q6. The user has cut one or more of his fingers, What is the solution?
- A6. SAVIOR readers enroll two fingers. If one is cut, the second can be used. If both are damaged, other acceptable fingers can be enrolled, or the system can be configured to accept attendance via Smart Card only.
- Q7. Due to change of season or any other reason, the user's finger has no fingerprint as old skin has come out and new skin has not came. What is the solution?
- A7. If fingerprint lines are visible to the eye, enrollment/identification is usually possible. This issue is typically temporary and affects only a few individuals.
- Q8. The user's finger has Mehendi or Ink or Grease on the finger. What is the solution?
- A8. Ensure the fingerprint lines are visible. Mehendi, grease, or ink should not dirty the sensor window. Damage, breakage, sabotage, or misuse of the sensor during warranty/AMC is not covered.
