Finance scanners often have various functions, such as fingerprint recognition and password locking. However, these functions require power; if the power is interrupted, they become unusable.
However, most Capacitive Fingerprint Scanner are equipped with a backup power supply module, which can maintain operation for one to two hours during a power outage.
This ensures that even in the event of a sudden power outage, the Fingerprint Scanner can continue to operate for a period of time, rather than becoming completely unusable.
Second, a power outage also affects the security of a Fingerprint Scanner. If a malicious intruder obtains the Fingerprint Scanner's password or gains access to the access control system through other means,
they could exploit a sudden power outage to illegally enter a home or office, directly threatening the personal safety of residents and causing property damage. Therefore, Capacitive Fingerprint Scanner need to have certain security measures in place.
