Datacard is the only company that provides totally integrated systems. They write the identification software (have been for over 20 years), manufacture the printers (here in the USA in MN), write the camera integration software and have the camera manufacturers (in the case Canon) make modifications to their cameras to make capturing images extremely easy. In a nutshell:

The Canon PowerShot GS7 USB Digital Camera package includes camera integration software that was designed by Datacard to allow you to manually, or automatically center, crop and capture images with one click of your mouse. The Canon GS7 (7.1 mega pixels) digital camera produces brilliant high quality, images. In addition to the camera and integration software the flash is integrated and the tripod, backdrop, stand and cables are included.

Our ID Works Enterprise Software is the most feature rich and easiest to use identification software available, anywhere in the world. It is a product of over twenty years of refinement. You are virtually unlimited to what you can include on your ID cards and can produce cards for any machine readable application with magnetic stripes, bar codes (including PDF417), proximity and smart cards. It will also connect to ODBC databases (Oracle, SQL, FoxPro, Access, DB2, etc.) Its features include drop downs lists, multiple card designs within a single project, biometric enrollment and verification, and smart card encoding.

The SP75/CP80 printers are revolutionary. Now you can add security rich holographic laminates on the front of your card and a clear DuraGard® laminate on the back- in one pass! There isn’t a more capable printer available that can print equally brilliant images and cards faster or easier. Ribbons produce up to 500 ID cards providing less down time. Magnetic stripe and smart card encoding can be added in the field.
