How to save fingerprint data in django

March 11, 2023

So I have a project where I have a model called Beneficiary where I need to store the fingerprint.

This is the model:

class Beneficiary(models.Model):
    image=models.ImageField(upload_to='home/images/',blank=True,null=True)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    gender=models.CharField(max_length=6,choices=GENDER_CHOICES,default='male')
    dob=models.DateField()
    registration_date=models.DateField()

I want to save the fingerprints of the beneficiaries in the model.
I am using DigitalPersona2 fingerprint sensor.
I am pretty new to fingerprints so can anyone help?

>Solution :

I don’t know much about DigitalPersona2, but generally, the Fingerprint device should come with an SDK, that must be installed on the system that uses the fingerprint scanner device. DigitalPersona2 would have an SDK API that would allow you to communicate with the device.
