Thassico, First of all, I mean no personal offense to you with this reply. The first thing you have to consider is that you can have the best product in the world but if there is no need for, or if someone with deeper pockets offers a similar product, you are screwed. For example, years ago, NRI offered a scanner that was the first to be less than $1000. It was between 400 and 500. However, that was still too expensive. Great product, no interest. Moving on to today, the retail price of most scanners is less than one hundred. Veridicom is about $50 or so, WhoVision is about 59 or so, Authentec is around that.. Point is, there are companies out there with more experience, deeper pockets, and more contacts and working relations. As for Delsecur, the first thing that scares me is the financials. They have no sales and are burning cash. Granted, management is providing some of this cash, but that will not last for long. Secondly, I have seen no review of this company's product as compared to other biometric readers in the industry. So I don't know how well it works in comparison, even if CRIM (whoever that is) says it is great. Third, how does the scanner and software work on the computer? Are there any bugs, is it hard to use, is there seemless integration? There are a lot of unanswered questions. Until I get answers I am not even thinking Delsecur as anything. What I do know is that the reader does not take a direct read of the fingerprint, but rather a portion, or something, so the digital image can not be reproduced to yield the entire fingerprint. I don't know how accurate that is, or what the quality of the scan is. What are the false accept rates? What about the false reject rates? Also, does Delsecur have a product? Are they still in prototype form? Who is producing their product? I could go on, but you get the point. I am done responding to Delsecur. This is a NRID board, please talk about NRID. And if you are going to talk about NRID by saying how Delsecur is better in comparison, well, let's just say people have done that "mine is better" stuff before, and it does NOT fly here. Regards, Bob
