QDX-4300

The new colour QDX-4300 fraud detector is an effective and efficient tool for the examination of all types of documents where fraud or criminal activity is suspected. The QDX-4300 is very user friendly with simple controls for rapid examination, and with a high resolution colour monitor for the easy investigation of document details. A 4X electronic zoom gives increased magnification and with six integral light sources, security safeguards may be checked and alterations and additions rapidly detected.

When used in front line situations such as in airports or on border crossings the QDX-4300 will prevent illegal immigration and stop inadmissible passengers who may be using fraudulent travel or identity documents. Modest capital cost means that the QDX-4300 can be extensively deployed to cover many entry and exit points.

Counterfeit identity documents of all types are often used to obtain social security benefits, or to open bank accounts for illegal transactions. With the QDX-4300 such documents may be easily and rapidly verified and the simplicity of operation requires minimum training for the user.

The QDX-4300 is a useful workhorse for private Questioned Document Examiners, for Police Laboratories and for Insurance Investigators in producing evidence for criminal and civil legal proceedings.

QDX-630BE

The QDX-630B utilises the latest CCD camera technology for the detailed examination of all types of suspect documents for alterations, obscurations and erasures.

Counterfeits and forgeries are readily revealed by using a variety of optical techniques to display differences in the infrared luminescent and absorption characteristics of inks and dyes.

A sophisticated PC based measurement and enhancement system is available as an accessory for the accurate gauging of documents and typefaces and for image investigation.

Standard Features
• 16 Camera Filters • Picture Inversion and Reversal • Band Pass Filtering
• Full Range of Accessories • 5 Sets of Lamp Filters • Colour camera
• High Quality Close-Up Lens • Integral Monitor • Oblique Illuminator

QDX-430

The QDX-430 is a very cost effective portable infra-red Questioned Document Examination System for the authentication of travel documents at border crossings, immigration control desks and in mobile police operations. Further uses are at scenes of crime, in banks, at check-in desks or in any situation where the authenticity of documents may be in doubt.

Using the non-destructive techniques of infra-red absorption and luminescence, the QDX-430 is a powerful tool for the detection of fraudulent documents of all kinds. With counterfeiting and forgery continuing to be a major criminal activity, the QDX-430 will prove invaluable to many regulatory authorities.

Available with an optional carrying case which allows complete portability and remote field operation, the QDX-430 may now be used in roadside operations when installed in vehicles using the mounting kit. The Oblique light source (OL-430) and Transmissive Light Source (LB-430) are now supplied as standard as shown in the illustration above.

The Reader PR7001 (7002)

DESCRIPTION: The PR7001 (7002) Reader serves as a reading device for Machine-Readable Documents (MRD) which are designed and printed in conformance with the applicable ICAO, ISO and/or AIT specifications. Reader PR7001 (7002) automatically reads and transmits relevant data contained within the Machine-Readable Zone (MRZ) of Machine Readable Documents such as Machine Readable Passports, Visas or Identity Cards to a host computer system or simply indicate an assessment of the quality of the document based on specific rules and specifications.

The PR7001 (7002) Reader reads documents which conform to ICAO 9303 “A Passport with Machine Readable Capability” and ISO 7501 “Identification Cards - Machine Readable Passports.” The PR7001 (7002) may also be configured to read other two (2) line or three (3) line Machine Readable Documents which conform to AIT Document DT-00071 “Specification for Machine Readable Document Design.”

The PR7001 can capture the photo image from Machine Readable Passports. Optionally: This image can be stored or compared with the “live” image of the bearer of the document.

Checkpoint-D

The Checkpoint-D is a robust, cost effective instrument for the examination of all types of documents where speed and efficiency are the first priority.

It can be found in Airports and Seaports for the checking of travel documents, at Customs Posts for authenticating carnets and bills of lading and in Police Stations for a first examination of Questioned Documents.

The Checkpoint-D may be installed in a variety of locations where rapid and accurate verification is required. The small size allows easy fitting to Immigration and Customs Control Desks and it is unobstrusive in banking institutions where personal and financial documents need authenticating.

The Checkpoint-D contains all the necessary light sources to check most current document security safeguards and to highlight many modes of fraudulent alteration. Unique to the Checkpoint-D is an adjustable window that allows very easy examination of retroreflective features and at the same time affords eye protection against UV lamps.

The Checkpoint-D is:
ROBUST - designed to withstand rough handling by professionals
RAPID - verification of all document types in a few minutes
PORTABLE - light and easily transported for operational use
EFFICIENT - proficient document examination with brief training
MODEST COST - the lowest cost system available anywhere
