iCAM M300
Portable multi biometric identification
Handheld Platform. Large Scale Results.
Compact Form. Uncompromised Performance.

Iris ID has been delivering commercial iris recognition systems since 1997, and today IrisAccess® authenticates more individuals globally than all other iris platforms combined. This deep legacy in high-accuracy biometrics is fully realized in the iCAM M300, a powerful handheld device that places secure, multimodal identity authentication directly in the user’s hand.
Built on Iris ID’s advanced algorithms, engineered to capture high quality images in most challenging environments, the iCAM M300 supports iris, face, and fingerprint biometrics for fast and reliable identity verification and identification. Designed for mobility, the iCAM M300 is ideal for applications requiring quick checks or searches against smaller biometric galleries, delivering trusted authentication wherever it is needed.
High Speed – Dual Iris capture
The iCAM M300 performs rapid, simultaneous dual-iris capture and outputs ISO-compliant images that meet NIST IAP-30 (ISO 29794-6) requirements. Its intuitive user interface simplifies the process for both operators and end users, ensuring consistent, high-quality results with minimal training.
Combining high-resolution facial imaging, integrated fingerprint capture, and industry-leading iris recognition, the iCAM M300 enables robust multimodal authentication in a wide range of environments. This multimodal approach enhances accuracy and improves match confidence when verifying individuals or searching against a compact biometric gallery.
With an onboard orientation sensor and dynamic left/right capture controls, the M300 adapts naturally to how the device is held, making biometric capture smooth, quick, and user-friendly.
The result is a compact, rugged, and highly capable handheld platform that delivers complete mobile identity authentication—anywhere, anytime, in the palm of your hand, optimized for verification and smaller-scale identification scenarios.
