Absolutely .. there goes the speed dome ptz cameras Yes, some fingerprint readers detect body heat (to prevent "dummy/fake" fingerprint). In our case, there are 4 different options of sensor that user can choose, based on the technical circumstance (& cost) preference, ie. Optical, Thermal, Capacitive, and Electric Field (EF). EF has been claimed to have better performance in various conditions. But we would advice to do some testing of the device with different sensors, so we will know which one is better suit to the specific condition & circumstance. Some Asian biometric reader/terminal manufacturers (ie. Korean) have made some headlines. The price is quite competitive as well. And then there are fingerprint readers/terminals from China which have been getting better in performance & durability, priced aggressively, and with OEM/white label option. Germany is one of the good ones as we are aware of. But then field-test would show which one that would be more suitable for the circumstance.

Hmm.. as a fixed dome camera would face one direction only, the rest of the Dome area do not need to be 'wiped'. I reckon a small customised wiper mounted on one side of the dome would do the job well. Some manufactures might have (or should have) come up with this someday.. We do video surveillance systems, access control and security systems with RFID & biometric (fingerpint & face recognition).

Some (box) CCTV Camera housings are equipped with wipers. I wonder if there are any for Dome Cameras . Anyone knows ?..
