What is Capacitive Fingerprint Scanner?

Fingerprint Scanners are biometric security devices that are used to identify a person. Finger scanners can be connected to a computer which can be communicated to an application in the system through a software development kit (SDK) supplied by the vendor. The fingerprint scanner can provide the fingerprint to the application in a variety of ways like base64 strings, images, byte array, etc. Based on the technology used the fingerprint readers are Optical fingerprint scanners and Capacitive fingerprint scanners.

In a capacitive fingerprint reader, the pattern is generated by electric voltage. The capacitive reader is expensive compared to thermal fingerprint scanners.
