Whether at airports, ports, fixed checkpoints, or other stationary border security settings, VSC90 provides the tools needed to ensure confident travel and ID document authentication.
MOBILE BORDER SECURITY
With self-contained and mobile configurations available, VSC90 is an ideal tool to undertake watertight document examinations in dynamic situations where flexibility is key.
FORENSIC LABS
Offering examiners full control over powerful illumination and imaging features, the VSC90 is equipped to extract maximum forensic value from a wide range of evidence types.
SECURE FACILITIES
Wherever identification is a critical priority and security is crucial, VSC90 removes doubt regarding question identity or clearance documents to ensure facilities are not compromised.
CASINOS
Ensure accurate identification, security, and compliance, while providing customers with a seamless experience.
BANKS
VSC90 offers a full range of tools to facilitate examination of banknotes and documents used to commit fraud.
CARD GRADING
Reveal forensic levels of detail in trading cards and valuable collectables, ensuring accuracy and increasing confidence.
AND MORE…
From major museums and art galleries to auction houses and brand protection applications, VSC devices define versatility.
Digital Interrogations
With the ever increasing complexity of e-Passports and identity documents, it is vital that even the most compact and mobile examination devices are equipped to authenticate all levels of digital, embedded, and encoded security features. The VSC90 features a full suite of tools for in-depth digital interrogations, which can be further enhanced with the addition of fully-licensed data decoders.
Pass/Fail Authentication of e-Chip Biometric Data
Authenticate embedded and machine-readable data using proprietary VSC90 software, or upgrade to the optional Assure ID™ Sentinel toolset for rapid pass/fail examinations with a high degree of accuracy.
Decode Data Embedded Security Features
Optional VSC90 software modules decode data embedded within a document. Fully licenced decoders are available for widely used security features including IPI, ICI, and machine-verifiable Letterscreen++.
Physical Examinations
VSC90 delivers comprehensive multi-spectral illumination and imaging tools to inspect all physical elements of a document for signs of counterfeiting or tampering. Examine traditional and advanced security features with confidence, including pen and ink strokes, paper composition, cover construction, laminates, photographs, and stitching.
Reveal Signs of Tampering and Fraud
Capture high-resolution images of documents under multi-spectral UV-Vis-IR illumination, deploying proprietary software to detect and annotate any evidence of tampering or alteration.
Examine and Authenticate Physical Security Features
Utilise narrowband illumination to visualise document security features such as watermarks, holograms, special inks, and security threads, in addition to anti-tampering measures.
