palm scanner

Biometric hand device

A palm scanner is a biometric device that reads the unique patterns of a person's palm—vein structure, lines, or print—to verify identity.

Used for security access, payment systems, and time tracking: Employees clock in using the palm scanner.

Unlike fingerprint readers, palm scanners typically work without direct contact.
