New Delhi [india], September 24: HID, a global leader in trusted identity solutions, made a strong impact at the 8th edition of the Fire and Security India Expo (FSIE), held recently at the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, New Delhi. HID captivated security leaders, government representatives, and enterprise visitors with the preview of HID Vento SCA, Smart Card Operating System for Transport Application - Contactless (SCOSTA-CL) access control reader and HID Amico biometric facial recognition reader.
Making its global debut at FSIE 2025, HID Vento SCA is the first access control reader designed and built in India specifically for Indian government projects with SCOSTA-CL capability. Purpose-built for resilience and interoperability, the reader features an embedded SAM module with ISO7816 support for strong authentication, delivers fast, contactless read range of up to 5 cm with LED and audio feedback, and is IP65-rated, tamper-protected, and designed for harsh environments.
HID Vento SCA fully supports contactless SCOSTA-CL credentials while ensuring seamless host controller communication through compatibility with Wiegand and OSDP protocols. The solution has been tested and verified by CDAC for cryptographic libraries, making it uniquely positioned to meet the stringent needs of India's government and public sector security infrastructure.
HID Amico is a next-generation biometric facial recognition reader designed to deliver secure, contactless access in high-traffic environments such as corporate offices, critical infrastructure sites, and commercial facilities. HID Amico combines fast and accurate facial recognition with multiple authentication modes, including RFID cards, HID Mobile Access, digital wallets, QR codes, and PINs. Its advanced liveness detection and spoof-prevention technology ensure high levels of accuracy and security, while its sleek and compact design allows for easy integration into modern building architectures.
With intuitive LED and audio indicators, HID Amico biometric facial recognition reader offers a smooth user experience that balances security with convenience, making it particularly well-suited for mid to large enterprises looking to modernise their access systems. The solution will be commercially available by the end of the year.
"FSIE 2025 gave us the perfect stage to showcase how HID is shaping the future of access control in India," said Prabhuraj Patil, Senior Director, AIS (Asean & India Subcontinent), Physical Access Control Solutions at HID. "With HID Amico, we are redefining convenience and security for enterprises, while HID Vento SCA demonstrates our deep commitment to supporting government-driven security standards with SCOSTA-CL capability."
Alongside HID Amico and HID Vento SCA, HID also displayed other highlights from its access control portfolio, including HID Mobile Access, HID Signo Readers, HID Cards & HID Mobile Credentials in digital wallets, and HID Intelligent Controllers. Visitors engaged with live demonstrations and interactive simulations that brought to life the value of HID's secure, scalable access control solutions.
Co-organised by the Fire and Security Association of India (FSAI) and Nova Exhibitions and Conferences, FSIE 2025 brought together industry leaders for three days of innovation, dialogue, and collaboration, where HID's showcase stood out as a key highlight of the event.
