On-premises biometric identity verification SDKs
Face recognition, face liveness, deepfake detection, ID document recognition, ID liveness, and a combined eKYC suite — pick only what you need.
Server SDKs run on your own Linux hardware or private cloud via Docker, with air-gapped and VPC-friendly options and no per-call charges.
iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native SDKs run matching and capture locally, including offline, so nothing is uploaded.
