Pishon Lab, the creators of Tapp, are pitching biometrics over keys and combinations as the better way to open and secure a padlock.
TAPP will allow users to unlock their valuables using their fingerprint and Pishon Lab is looking to raise $40,000 via Indiegogo to start production and quality assurance.
TappLock and TappLock Lite are roughly the same size as an ordinary
combination lock, but instead of a dial on its face it has a fingerprint
scanner, and pressing an approved fingerprint to the advanced encrypted
fingerprint sensor for less than a second will unlock it.
Enrollment is done via a mobile app, and you can add up to 200
fingerprints. You can program an access control schedule into a
TappLock, manage multiple locks from a single dashboard login and
receive notifications from the lock in real-time.
The company says that the integrated 1200mAh lithium battery in
TappLock will take about three years of normal use while the smaller
TappLite lock batteries are good for about six months. The device also
has a security alarm and 100% steel frame to avoid theft and is
lightweight, water resistant and doubles as a portable phone charger.
TappLock and TappLock Lite uses the FPC 1020 sensor, a highly sophisticated encrypted fingerprint sensor from Fingerprint Cards and AES 128-bit encryption.
TappLock will retail for around $60, and TappLite around $40 but you can get a discount by backing TAPP’s IndieGoGo project.
Pishon Lab’s say they have fully functional prototypes for the
TappLock Series (TappLock and TappLock Lite) and need $40,000 to start
the production and quality assurance. Money raised via Indiegogo will be
spent on building moulds, quality assurance, software improvements and
assembling the electronics and mechanical parts.
At the time of publication, the campaign had raised almost $79,000 USD, 197% of $40,000 goal, with 25 days left in the campaign.
