MegaMatcher On Card SDK offers matching-on-card technology that stores a person's fingerprint, iris and face templates on a smart card and performs template matching in a microprocessor embedded in the card, instead of matching biometric information on a PC processor.

The match-on-card method ensures that personal biometric information does not transfer to an external computer as it would in a more basic template-on-card system. More than 180 million smart cards and secure elements worldwide already include MegaMatcher On Card.

MegaMatcher On Card SDK is developed utilizing a set of ISO/IEC standards to enable interoperability with and easy integration into existing smart card and/or biometric systems.

Supported Face Capture Cameras

These cameras are supported by MegaMatcher On Card SDK:

Any webcam or camera that is accessible using:
- DirectShow, Windows Media or Media Foundation interfaces for Microsoft Windows platform.
- GStreamer interface for Linux or Mac platform.
Any built-in smartphone or tablet camera that is supported by Android OS. The camera should have at least 0.3 MegaPixel (640 x 480 pixels) resolution.
Cameras, which can operate in near-infrared spectrum, can be also used for image capture. MegaMatcher On Card uses VeriLook algorithm which is able to match faces, captured in near-infrared spectrum, against faces, captured in visible light. See the VeriLook testing results for details.
These advanced cameras are supported:
- Akiyama Akys-10 Biometric Camera
- CMITech EMX-30 – face & iris camera (Microsoft Windows only)
- Iris ID iCAM R100 and iCAM TD100 – face & iris cameras (Microsoft Windows only)
- VistaFA2 / VistaFA2E / VistaEY2 face & iris cameras (Microsoft Windows only)
These models of still cameras are supported:
- Canon EOS family still cameras (Microsoft Windows only; the supported camera models are EOS M50, EOS 2000D, EOS 4000D, EOS M100, EOS 6D Mark II, EOS 200D, EOS 77D, EOS 800D, EOS M6, EOS M5, EOS 5D Mark IV, EOS-1D X Mark II, EOS 80D, EOS 1300D, EOS M10, EOS 5DS, EOS 5DS R, EOS 760D, EOS 750D, EOS 7D Mark II)
- Nikon DSLR still cameras (Microsoft Windows only; a specific camera model should support video capture and should be listed there)
A video file can be also used as a data source for applications based on MegaMatcher On Card SDK.
Integrators can also write plug-ins to support their cameras using the plug-in framework provided with the Device Manager from the MegaMatcher On Card SDK.

Simultaneous capture from multiple cameras is possible.

High resolution cameras may be used with MegaMatcher On Card SDK, but more powerful technology like MegaMatcher SDK is recommended for acceptable performance. These cameras are supported:

Any IP camera, that supports RTSP (Real Time Streaming Protocol):
- Only RTP over UDP is supported.
- H.264/MPEG-4 AVC or Motion JPEG should be used for encoding the video stream.
