fingerprint reader or thumb reader

I am wanting to develop an Automatic Attendance System using a thumb reader. When the user enters the office campus, they must put their thumb on to a thumb reader and is then marked as present.

Can anyone suggest a thumb reader that supports API for reading and comparing thumb-print images, so that I can easily integrate it with my attendance system.

I would prefer it if the device supports a Java API.

I have Google'd this a lot, but could not find any good answers.

I came across a Microsoft thumb reader,but i dint get enough information on it. Does anyone can provide me offical site of Microsoft thumb reader. Any online stiulator?

Which is more accurate fingerprint or face recognition?

Considering fingerprints have been around a while longer than Face ID, it is unquestionably more precise in terms of data collection and verification. It is also more convenient for identification uses, as fingerprints are completely unique to each person.

Is it better to use a password or fingerprint?

Passwords are more cumbersome, and can be more difficult to remember. However, the extra time is worth the extra security. A good password can be much more secure than a fingerprint and, if done correctly, not too difficult to remember.

What is the fingerprint reader?

A scanner used to identify a person's fingerprint for security purposes. After a sample is taken, access to a computer or other system is granted if the fingerprint matches the stored sample. Laptops increasingly have built-in readers.

How accurate are fingerprint readers?

These accuracies were obtained for a false positive rate of 0.01 percent.” The study clearly shows that today's fingerprint scanners have reached a point where their accuracy can be more than 99 percent, provided you use high-quality scanners.

I work in company developing such systems. We've successfully used devices by Futronic, both USB (FS80) and ethernet (FS84). The latter provide means for comparison, but AFAIk they aren't very good.

We've used matching algorithms by Sonda Technologies, they are very robust and have good performance. They provide JNI-style java API.

We've also used ethernet sensors by this company, it has better capabilities for indication (LED or text LCD display, and sound) and operating external devices.
