BS870A

BS870A is the BS-family fingerprint array tuned for dry and aged skin — 208×288 class at 500+ DPI, with sensing behavior set for the outdoor reader that has to fail, then not be forgiven. One piece is the MOQ; the free SDK and 48h FAE response cover the outdoor stack-up from day one.

Winter hands still check in.

A 50-person warehouse shift half of whom are carrying frozen produce — dry, cracked skin is not an edge case, it is the average case. The BS870A is the family member whose sensing is tuned for that demographic:

  • Dry and aged skin handling is a deliberate family-class tuning in this variant, not a firmware afterthought.
  • SDK threshold tuning — the controller-side SDK lets you shift the read threshold for cold-season batches without touching hardware.
  • −40~85°C module-class rating (family class) keeps the gate working in the same weather that dries the fingers using it.

Turnover-friendly by design.

Warehouse operator rosters churn faster than any office — the reader has to enroll a new driver in seconds and forget the last one cleanly; the SDK's template export/import handles both in one call (family class).

  • Weekly template reloads via 1:1 export keep the gate aligned to actual staffing.
  • Two-year warranty and unit-level test pass hold even for 1-pc pilot orders.
  • Free SDK + 48h FAE response cover the reader controller bring-up on your own PCB.

That is the variant's purpose — dry and aged skin handling is a family-class tuning tested in lab batches; the SDK lets you further tune the threshold for your demographic.

Yes — the matching algorithm and SDK are part of the platform, with demo routines for the outdoor use case built in.
