A biometric sensor designed around the host system.
PalmVein01 is a compact USB palm vein sensor module for embedded projects. PalmVein01 Pro adds independent power for field, mobile and unstable USB environments.

RGB + IR palm vein sensor
Capture palm surface detail and subdermal vein information through one compact module, then connect registration and matching functions to your application through the supplied integration package.
Technical specifications.
Built for local verification.
The module captures complementary palm information, checks capture quality and produces biometric data for verification by the configured matching service.
IR only, no RGB
Plan mechanical, electrical and software integration together.
Reliable biometric performance depends on more than an API call. Enclosure geometry, power delivery, palm presentation and host software should be validated as one system.
Optical access and palm approach
Design a clear field of view and a natural hand path while protecting the optical window from obstruction and unwanted reflections.
- Front-panel opening alignment
- Mounting tolerance clearance
- User hand approach path
- Service accessibility access
Stable power and USB communication
Confirm the host can deliver stable current during illumination and capture. Use PalmVein01 Pro when independent power is required.
- 5V / 1.5A supply planning
- USB data integrity verification
- Cable retention and routing
- Thermal load validation
Capture, registration and matching
Integrate device control, quality feedback, feature handling and match results into the host application and business workflow.
- Windows / Linux / Android support
- SDK and API call integration
- 1:1 or 1:N matching modes
- Error-state and fallback handling
PalmVein01 or PalmVein01 Pro?
PalmVein01 and PalmVein01 Pro use the same RGB + IR biometric foundation. Their key difference is power architecture: PalmVein01 relies on stable host USB power, while PalmVein01 Pro adds a built-in battery for independent, continuous operation.
| ITEM | PALMVEIN01 | PALMVEIN01 PRO |
|---|---|---|
| PRODUCT TYPE | Standard USB module | Self-powered USB scanner |
| PRIMARY USE | Built-in integration | Flexible external / semi-embedded |
| POWER SOURCE | Host USB power | Built-in battery |
| BATTERY | None | Approx. 3000mAh |
| WORK WHILE CHARGING | Not applicable | Supported |
| BEST FIT | ATM, kiosk, POS, embedded | Field, industrial, unstable power |
Choose PalmVein01
Use the standard model when the host USB port can provide a stable recommended 5V / 1.5A supply. Designed for built-in ATM, kiosk, POS and access-control integration.
Choose PalmVein01 Pro
Use the Pro model when host USB power is limited or unstable. Its approximately 3000mAh battery supports independent operation -- about 6-8 hours of use and charging while working.
When to Choose PalmVein01A
Choose PalmVein01A when your solution requires IR palm vein recognition with 1:1 local verification. It is particularly suitable for time attendance, access control, and turnstile systems where users can first present an ID card, QR code, employee number, or another unique identifier and then verify their identity using palm vein recognition.
PalmVein01A is the right choice when:
- 1:1 local verification meets the application requirements.
- User identification is completed before palm vein verification.
- Offline processing and local data security are required.
- The terminal needs an integrated QR code scanning camera.
- The solution does not require RGB palmprint recognition, 1:N identification, or cloud-based matching.
- Integration with Android, Windows, or Linux platforms is required.
