Earlier generation scanners with monochrome displays simply showed the ID’s calculated age, which could be misinterpreted by tired employees. This scanner displays the calculated age and then updates color coded icons, a color coded status message, sounds an audible alarm and vibrates, making almost impossible to overlook a problem ID.

  • Customizable Color Coded Age Icons for Drinking Age, Smoking Age, etc.

There are also computer generated warning sounds for those who don’t like voice warnings.

Some business owners really enjoy wishing their clients a happy birthday so we’ve included a short happy birthday song as well as a human voice announcement. Compared to earlier generation products which only displayed the calculated age on a monochrome display, with no visual no audible warnings, it’s like comparing a smartphone to a rotary dial phone.

idvisor-smart-user-interface

Integrated CRM Features Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and membership management features such as tracking customer visits, capturing additional customer information like email and phone, tags for VIP/Banned and searchable database using simple text queries.

Business owners always like to see the number of visits for each customer on the main screen to quickly identify new versus frequent customers. This allows a business to welcome a new client or recognize a loyal customer. Loyalty programs can use this value to reward clients with a reward after a set number of visits. Security staff can see if a client has a visit history and therefore a lower risk than a client with no visit history.

Tagging - VIP / Banned and User Defined Tags with Expiration Date

Optional on-system tagging allows the user to ban somebody right at door, or add him or her to an imported VIP or customer list. Tags can be added when the scan is taken, or by searching with the last name or ID number and updating tag values.

Email and Phone Capture

Users also have the ability to capture phone and email information directly on the touch screen keyboard. Adding customer contact information helps create powerful out-bound marketing programs like email and text message blasts.

PIN Security: Kiosk Mode

The ID Scanner has built-in security to protect sensitive customer information. User Configurable PIN code access restrict, for example, the operator from accessing customer information, block them from searching the database, reconfiguring any of the device settings or exiting the app. This keeps the operator focused on the task at hand and prevents him from altering any configuration settings or accessing customer data.

Photos for customers and Free pics for unscannable IDs

Take 2 pictures of each customer (picture of ID and/or picture of individual) which become part of the customer's record. The Free Pics feature is for quickly capturing images of unscannable IDs such as passports or green cards. These photos prove due diligence and can be referenced later to determine an individuals identity. The free pics button is available right on the main ID Scanner form for easy access.

Data Storage

Data storage is at 50,000 customers and/or 75,000 scans. After either threshold is reached, the software will auto delete visitor information for the oldest non-tagged clients with the lowest visit count (e.g. a person who visited once, 1 year ago). We’ve also included automatic data limiting features which limit data storage to last thirty, seven, one day, and zero days (no storage). Jurisdictions like Utah only allow the last 7 days of data to be stored and Colorado Marijuana dispensaries cannot save any data at all. Built-in data export software downloads customer or scan files in Excel format directly to USB thumb drive – no PC/MAC required.

Exporting and Managing Data

Scan data and Customer Data Excel Spreadsheet compatible files are easily created and exported from the IDVisor Smart Plus using either a Micro USB cable or via Gmail / Google Drive or other on-line services via WiFi.

Engineered and Supported in the United States

The IDVisor Smart Plus is a larger screen version of the IDVisor Smart and runs the same Android app developed in-house by US engineers and will be supported by those same engineers. We are proud to use US engineering and manufacturing resources here in Bronxville, NY.

Important Security/Privacy Feature: Find My Device

Top-Tier Customer Support

    Super reliable scanner

    Dennis

    This is a really phenomenal product. We are relatively new Pub owners and this past March 17th was our first St. Pat’s Day. Tony and his team at TokenWorks turned our order around in 24 hours and the product, the IDVisor Smart Plus was ready to go right out of the box. We had five bouncers on St. Pat’s and all these gentlemen were able to pass the scanner around as needed. Fortunately for us, we survived a Police Sting operation that night…by using this product we were able to turn all 5 “plants” away at the door! The IDVisor paid for itself on the first night! We also purchased the “passback” feature which worked multiple times for us on our first night using the scanner. I would recommend this feature for any bar owner in a college town or tourist town. We are huge fans of this product and would recommend it highly!

      Short answer is no. We don’t sell this product as a Fake ID Scanner because this product only reads the 2D barcode on a drivers license. Check out the IDentiFake product if you need to stop Fake Drivers Licenses.

      It is impossible to reliably detect fakes by reading just the PDF417 barcode. If you need to catch close to all Fake IDs, then you’ll need a forensic Fake ID Scanners, one that performs 40 – 60 forensic tests on multiple wavelength high resolutions images of the ID. See our IdentiFake product at IDscanner.com If you have time, read on.

      Long Answer: The Primary purpose of an ID Scanner is to warn when an underage ID is scanned which turns out to be the number ONE cause for citations. In a busy retail environment, a clerk/server is motivated to rapidly complete the sales process. In this environment, it is easy for a new or tired clerk/server skipping important steps or making calculation errors.

      The Secondary purpose of an ID Scanner is to document the ID checking process by recording the ID data, ID status (OK, under21, etc.) with a date/time stamp provides an affirmative defense. Several states have affirmative defense legislation which helps defend an organization’s liquor license.

      Fake or Altered IDs
      All ID Scanners that read just the barcode will detect “some” fake or altered IDs. Below are some of the cases where a barcode only scanner will work.

      1. Some fake IDs barcode/magnetic stripe will not scan properly, if at all. In this case, the scanner cannot verify anything. However, if the ID doesn’t scan, and is not obviously damaged, then the ID is probably a fake. These fake IDs have a printing that looks like a valid barcode or black magnetic stripe but are poorly made, and often will not even scan.

      2. Some fake IDs will scan, but have a different name on the screen than printed on the ID. These fake IDs have a barcode that scans, but the barcode information does NOT match the printed information on the ID. In this case, the scanner will help catch this fake ID by allowing the operator to cross-check the barcode data with the printed data. This illustrates the importance of the Scanner operator during the process.

      3. Some fake IDs will scan, and notify the operator of an underage or expired ID. This is because the fake ID has had the printed date of birth or expiration changed the ID, but not in the barcode or magnetic stripe. This type of fake ID has either been altered to change the date of birth or the expiration date using ink or in some cases, a pin to remove ink from the original ID.

      4. Some fake IDs will scan, and the ID Scanner will say “unrecognized format”. This type of fake IDs barcode or magnetic stripe will scan, but the information in the barcode is inconsistent with that particular state’s formatting. However, it may be a new legitimate ID that the Scanner hasn’t seen yet, which is why software updates are required. But, more often than not, the ID is probably a fake.

      5. Some fake ID’s will scan and the Scanner will say “Fake ID”. There are certain Fake IDs made in China by a company that left copyright information in the barcode.

      Lastly, some fake ID’s will scan and have all the information formatted correctly and match the information printed on the ID. For these types of fakes, the operator must look at the various printed security features on the ID, such as microprinting, holograms, optically variable ink, and UltraViolet ink. Alternatively, one could purchase a forensic Fake ID Scanner which has a database of these features for all IDs.
