SlapShot SDK

Every smartphone is now a fingerprint scanner.

SlapShot SDK turns the phone your officer, soldier, or agent is already carrying into a NIST-compliant, contactless ten-print capture device. No peripherals. No special hardware. No second device on the belt.

The customer reality

Field biometrics shouldn't require field hardware.

The problem you're living with

Specialty scanners don't make it to the edge.

Traditional ten-print capture means dedicated hardware your team has to carry, calibrate, repair, and replace — across thousands of operators in places where it's unrealistic to begin with.

  • Procurement and logistics overheadEvery device is one more thing to buy, ship, and maintain across your operating footprint.
  • Coverage gaps at the moment of contactThe identification opportunity is gone before the right device arrives on scene.
  • Training burdenHardware-specific workflows take operators out of their primary job to learn.
What SlapShot SDK does instead

Use what your team already carries.

SlapShot SDK drops into your existing iOS or Android application and uses the device camera — that's it. Capture a forensic-quality ten-print, plus face and latents, in under 1 minute.

  • Zero new hardwareThe phone in the operator's pocket is now the sensor. Roll out in days, not procurement cycles.
  • NIST SP-500-399 compliantCaptures meet the federal specification for contactless fingerprint acquisition devices.
  • Operator-grade simplicityGuided capture flow means minutes of training, not days.
Where it earns its keep

Three scenarios where SlapShot SDK changes what's possible.

Defense

Forward-deployed identity

Identification at the edge of the network, on hardware operators are already cleared and trained to carry.

Border & checkpoint

High-throughput screening

Scale capture to the number of agents on the line — not the number of scanners in the closet.

Law enforcement

Patrol & community policing

Every patrol officer becomes capable of an AFIS-ready capture during a routine field contact.

What's in the SDK

Built around how operators and developers actually work.

Easy to use

Minimal training. A ten-print record in under a minute, with a guided capture flow operators can follow under stress.

Accurately scaled

Patented technology plus a one-time per-device calibration produces contactless prints ready for AFIS searching.

Everyone is a sensor

Runs on a device that's already on the operator. No additional weight, no extra device to charge or track.

More than fingerprints

The same SDK can capture face and crime-scene latents — one workflow, one integration.

Touchless palm capture

Forensic-quality palm images from a smartphone camera. No specialty palm hardware required.

Native iOS & Android

Drop-in integration in your existing application (including React Native), with a small footprint and a clean API surface.

How it fits

One integration, end-to-end into your identity workflow.

Frequently asked

What teams ask before they pilot.

How fast is a full ten-print contactless capture?
A full ten-print requires at least three captures (left four-finger slap, right four-finger slap, and a thumb slap). With an intuitive capture design, an operator performs all three in under two minutes.
How do you get accurately scaled prints from a phone camera?
Because every mobile camera differs at the hardware level, accurately registered contactless captures require per-device calibration. SlapShot SDK ships a streamlined one-time routine that handles this — operators don't think about it after enrollment.
What platforms are supported?
Native SDKs for both iOS and Android.
How big is the SDK in our application?
Depending on the features you integrate, the SlapShot SDK adds 20–30 MB to your application's footprint.
Can it capture more than fingerprints?
Yes — the same SDK supports face capture and crime-scene latents, and forensic-quality touchless palm prints, all through the device camera.
