In A Digital Age, Traditional ID Cameras Still Relevant
With the introduction of the first commercially-available digital camera
in 1991, people everywhere discovered the convenience of power of instant
digital photography.
The ID Card and security industries were forever changed for the better,
with the ability to simply point, click, and upload photos for instant
printing of professional identification cards. Yet for many ID and passport
businesses, traditional film cameras still get the job done without the
need for an external printer and computer.
The Best of Both Worlds
ID Card Group offers an array of cameras – from traditional passport
models (the All Photo ID-200) to powerful digital models (the Synercard
Asure Imago or the Polaroid PDC 2150.)
Traditional film passport cameras are often all that a business needs,
and are very cost effective. The All Photo ID-200 produces two photos on
film, in traditional passport style in just a few minutes. With handheld
or tripod mount capabilities, the lightweight All Photo ID-200 can operate
on both battery power or a 6 volt AC adapter.
For businesses that need a complete traditional passport system, ID
Card Group offers the Polaroid ID-100 that includes everything needed to
produce full color passport photos (two up) almost instantly. The Polaroid
ID-100 bundle includes the camera, laminator, die cutter, and camera base
along with a built in flash.
The ID-40 SX Passport camera offers traditional film passport output
and four image capability, for businesses that need four pictures at the
same time. The 220 volt ID-40 includes built in memory, a variable flash
with aim light, and an LED panel that guides the user to eliminate errors.
Rounding out the list is the Passport M-200 handheld passport camera,
which delivers outstanding value in the form of a passport camera using
traditional film output. ID Card Group offers the Passport 3946-1000 flash
as well, a device designed to help you produce perfect passport and identity
photos every time.
Digital Options
If you choose to go digital, you’ll enjoy the power and flexibility
of the Polaroid PDC 2150, a fully automatic digital camera with 1.2 mega
pixel resolution that outputs 1600 x 1200 pixel images. The PDC 2150 is
USB compatible, and is designed for seamless integration with Polaroid
ID Card Maker software and Polaroid ID Card printers – though it will work
perfectly with any other identification software and printer as well.
The PDC 2150 brings Polaroid experience and innovation in a rugged and
compact package that includes built in flash, a host of automatic exposure
options along with the user friendliness that has made Polaroid a household
name.
The Asure Imago is another digital camera that boasts tons of features
for passport and ID security users at a great price. The rugged an lightweight
Imago offers a 480 x 640 pixel array and USB compatibility, and an interchangeable
lens (it comes with a 16 millimeter lens for 4’ to 6’ working distances
– ideal for identity card applications.)
Asure packed a number of options into the Imago, including auto exposure
and adjustable focus modes, one-click image capture, and preset and customizable
settings for different skin tones. The Asure Imago seamlessly integrates
with Asure ID Software packages like Asure Solo, Asure Express, and Asure
Enterprise.
