1 Summary
CAMA-SM15 is the fingerprint module for secondary development which has integrated fingerprint
optical sensor, CMOS image sensor, CPU, and Flash memory together. It features small size, low
power consumption, simple ports, high reliability, small fingerprint template (496bytes), large
fingerprint capacity, etc. It is convenient to be embedded to user system for realizing clients required
fingerprint verification products.

CAMA-SM15 outstandingly features Auto-learning function. During the fingerprint verification

process, the latest collected fingerprint features would be integrated into the fingerprint database
automatically so that the users would obtain better and better fingerprint verification result.

CAMA-SM15 module is UART communication interface with adjustable safety level function,
fingerprint data reading & writing function, 1:N and 1:1 verification function.

It has adapted the most advanced technology of Auto wake-up function. When the finger touching
the sensor, system detected and will automatically power on as well as scanning & identify the
fingerprint, which is much more convenient and intelligent instead of the button power-on design.

1.1 Main Functions

◆ Communication interface :UART
◆ Optic sensor is reliable and Low-cost, High ESD Protection
◆ 1:N Identification (One-to-Many)
◆ 1:1 Verification (One-to-One)

◆ Fingerprint template data read from /write to FLASH memory function
◆ Get Feature Data of Captured fingerprint and Verify/Identify Downloaded Feature with
Captured fingerprint(Specially designed for fingerprint stored in IC card)
◆ Identify Downloaded Feature with Captured fingerprint
◆ Security Level setting
◆ Able to set BaudRate/ Device ID/Device Password
◆ Automatic Touch sense function
◆ 360 degree verification

1.2 Applications
◆ Access control systems
◆ Time & Attendance
◆ Locks, safes
◆ POS, handheld terminals

into RAM temporarily,Host can utilize “Get Enroll Data” command acquire template data.
[Sequence]

if image is no good,result=ERR_BAD_QUALITY
4) else result=GD_NEED_RELEASE_FINGER denote that lift finger,
after finger release then goto next steep;
5) result=GD_NEED_SECOND_SWEEP denote that press the same finger for the second time,
and then goto steep2,3
6) if the second input fingerprint is correct,
result=GD_NEED_RELEASE_FINGER denote that lift finger,
after finger release then goto next steep;
7) result=GD_NEED_THIRD_SWEEP denote that press the same finger for the third time
and then goto steep2,3
8) if the third input fingerprint is correct,
result=GD_NEED_RELEASE_FINGER denote that lift finger;

5.3.33 Verify Device Password
[Function] Verify password between host and module

Device Password is null by Default setting and all command is valide,verify device
password command is needless
If device’s new password is setup,ever time power on the device from power down,the module is
safeguard by password,all command except is invalide (Result=ERR_NOT_AUTHORIZED) untill
verify password is successful,but “Verify Device Password” and “Test Connection” command is
valide in any time.

[Sequence]

1) if verify device password is OK,result= ERR_SUCCESS,all command is valide

2) else result= ERR_NOT_AUTHORIZED, module is safeguard by password

5.4 Attentions

A. The module would automatically turn on the sensor LED when execute Enroll, Enroll One
Time, Identify, Verify, Enroll And Store in RAM，Get Feature Data of Captured FP, Verify
Downloaded Feature with Captured FP，Identify Downloaded Feature with Captured FP.
If get the correct fingerprint, LED would be off; unless the LED would keep on. User can
control the LED on or off according to their demand. It is also available for adopting
Sensor LED Control command to control the LED on or off.

B. This module features device password function. Once set the password, all the commands
are unavailable without password authentication. So it can protect the enrolled FP data as
anti-theft function with high security. If not set password, all the commands can be
available without password.
