BioStar

BioStar is the IP based access control system software that combined with Suprema biometric devices, distributes biometric data from networks either from an individual unit or network of them.  The software creates ease among Suprema products by providing the ability to control each device through the program instead of the biometric device, itself.

The BioStar RE Version comes free with every unit. This program gives the ability to do reports based on access and time and attendance, provides the ability to control work time calculations, program shift management on a weekly basis and holiday/leave.  The BioStar SE (Standard Edition) is a more robust program that offers the ability to create zones among the devices, a visual map, shift management on a Daily/ Weekly basis, roll call and more. The BioStar SE is used when you have 20 or more devices. This program is sold separately.  Please see the chart below for more information regarding these two versions of the BioStar Software.
