Does anyone have experience with the following fingerprint scanner for our front door:
ENTRAsys by Sommer
We plan to install the ENTRAsys system by Sommer on our front door. I’m wondering how secure such a system is, since it transmits data wirelessly. According to the manufacturer, it offers the highest security because it is encrypted using a technology called Somloq Rollingcode.
Could someone provide information on:
1. Recognition rate / reliability of this or other fingerprint systems
2. Security (it is transmitted wirelessly with Somloq Rollingcode encryption)
3. What exactly is a Somloq Rollingcode?
Thank you very much

Somloq is a common rolling code system, similar to those used in car keys. It uses 66-bit encryption, and each code is used only once.
However, Somloq2 is already available on the market with 128-bit encryption, so there must have been a need for an update at some point, for whatever reason.

Reliability, general recognition rate, recognition rate with wet fingers, recognition rate with children, ... ???

ENTRAsys discouraged me from installing it because of the wireless transmission. Especially since the power supply cables are already installed in the door. But I don’t understand why the data then needs to be transmitted wirelessly. That said, it’s probably not any less secure. At least nowadays, I have never heard of burglars hacking front doors via wireless signals. Although this is frequently reported with cars.
