Description
Virdi UBio-X Iris — Contactless Iris Recognition Access Control Terminal in Pakistan
The Virdi UBio-X Iris is the most advanced and hygienic biometric access control terminal in the Virdi UBio range — and the only iris recognition terminal available in Pakistan. Unlike fingerprint or facial recognition terminals that require physical contact or close camera proximity, the Virdi UBio-X Iris uses the unique patterns of the human iris as a biometric credential — reading it contactlessly from up to 50cm with absolute zero physical touch required.
This makes it the only choice for environments where hygiene is not optional: hospitals, pharmaceutical manufacturing plants, cleanrooms, food processing facilities, laboratories, and any regulated environment where gloves, protective gear, or contamination prevention make fingerprint or facial recognition impractical or impossible.
IOT Systems is the sole and authorized Virdi UBio distributor in Pakistan. Every Virdi UBio-X Iris we supply is 100% genuine, factory-certified, covered by full manufacturer warranty from Virdi Korea, and supported by official firmware updates and manufacturer-backed technical assistance.
Why Iris Recognition is the Highest-Accuracy Biometric
The human iris contains over 200 unique measurable features — compared to approximately 40 for a fingerprint. Iris patterns are also completely stable throughout a person’s lifetime — they do not change with age, weather, or physical condition. This makes iris recognition the most accurate biometric identification method available, with a False Acceptance Rate (FAR) of 0.0001% — effectively zero unauthorized access.
Unlike fingerprint recognition, iris recognition requires absolutely no physical contact — eliminating hygiene concerns, glove incompatibility, and the wear-and-tear issues that affect fingerprint sensors over time in high-traffic environments.
Authentication Modes
Iris Recognition: Contactless iris scanning from up to 50cm. Auto-tilt dual camera system automatically adjusts to the user’s height for hands-free scanning. 40,000 iris templates (1:N) and 200,000 templates (1:1). Works with glasses, masks, and niqabs — does not require any facial or hand exposure.
Fingerprint (FBI PIV + FAP20 Certified): FBI PIV and FBI Mobile ID FAP20 certified optical sensor — the highest US government certification for biometric fingerprint sensors. Patented fake-fingerprint detection rejects silicone, gelatin, and artificial fingers. 500 DPI resolution. Up to 50,000 fingerprint templates (1:N).
RFID Cards: EM 125kHz proximity cards, HID Prox, HID iCLASS, and 13.56MHz smart cards — all in one built-in multi-frequency reader.
Mobile NFC & BLE: Smartphone credentials via NFC tap or Bluetooth Low Energy. iOS 10+ and Android 6+ compatible. Read range under 10cm.
PIN Code: Touchscreen PIN entry via the 5-inch color touchscreen as standalone or combined multi-factor authentication.
Advanced Security & Health Safety Features
Auto-Tilt Camera: The built-in auto-tilt function automatically detects the user’s height and adjusts the iris camera angle — providing comfortable, accurate scanning without requiring users to position themselves precisely. Essential for high-traffic installations where user convenience directly impacts throughput speed.
Mask Detection: Detects whether a mask is worn and can automatically allow or deny access based on mask compliance — essential for hospitals, food processing, and regulated facilities.
Thermal Fever Screening (Optional): Integrated infrared thermal sensor measures body temperature contactlessly during authentication. Flags elevated readings before access is granted — working simultaneously with iris recognition without slowing authentication speed.
AES-256 Data Encryption: All biometric data is stored as encrypted minutiae points with AES-256 encryption and Azure Key Vault support. No original biometric images are ever stored — eliminating data breach risk and ensuring full GDPR and biometric data regulation compliance.
FBI PIV + FAP20 Certification: The fingerprint sensor is certified to FBI PIV (Personal Identity Verification) and FBI Mobile ID FAP20 standards — the highest international certification for fingerprint biometric accuracy and liveness detection.

Frequently Asked Questions — Virdi UBio-X Iris
Why choose iris recognition over fingerprint or facial recognition?
The iris contains over 200 unique measurable features versus approximately 40 for a fingerprint — making it the most accurate biometric available. Iris patterns never change throughout a person’s lifetime. Most importantly, iris recognition requires zero physical contact — making it the only viable biometric for environments where gloves are worn, hygiene is mandatory, or physical contact with a sensor is prohibited (hospitals, cleanrooms, food processing).
How far away does the UBio-X Iris scan?
The UBio-X Iris scans the iris from up to 50cm away — contactlessly and without requiring the user to position themselves precisely, thanks to the auto-tilt dual camera that automatically adjusts to the user’s height.
Does it work if the user is wearing glasses?
Yes. The UBio-X Iris is designed to recognize iris patterns through standard prescription glasses. Contact lenses may affect performance — users with coloured contact lenses should enroll without them and be aware that coloured lenses can affect recognition accuracy.
How many iris templates can the UBio-X Iris store?
The UBio-X Iris stores 40,000 iris templates in 1:N (one-to-many) mode and 200,000 in 1:1 (one-to-one) verification mode, with a total template capacity of 400,000. Each user can have up to 4 iris templates enrolled (left eye, right eye, each with 2 template captures for accuracy).
What is FBI PIV + FAP20 certification and why does it matter?
FBI PIV (Personal Identity Verification) certification means the fingerprint sensor meets US federal government standards for identity verification. FAP20 (Fingerprint Acquisition Profile 20) is the FBI Mobile ID standard for fingerprint image quality. Together they represent the highest international certification level for fingerprint biometric accuracy — essential for government, military, banking, and high-security deployments.
Does the UBio-X Iris work offline without internet?
Yes. All iris templates, access rules, and event logs are stored locally on the terminal. It operates completely independently without internet. When internet is available, data syncs automatically to the UBio Alpeta cloud platform.
