ESCRIPTION
The E-Seek Model M500 Forensic Reader introduces a new performance standard for ID card reading and
authentication. It extracts hidden security features of a drivers' license, Military ID or any identity card for
authentication purposes in addition to reading and decoding the electronic information contained in the
barcode or magnetic stripe. Both sides of a scanned card are captured at 600 dpi resolution with a single
card insertion.
The Model M500 also incorporates a high performance PDF417 decoder and 3 Track magnetic readers. It
connects to a PC using a high speed USB 2.0 connection.
Ideal for Law Enforcement, Bars, Nightclubs, Casinos, and Access Control. The M500 can be used
anywhere your application requires reading and/or authenticating an ID or Drivers’ License.
