Non-contact capture device for capturing biometric data

A non-contact capture device comprising:

• an electronic compartment comprising a camera and a light source, wherein the camera and light source are directed to an image capture region, and an infrared emitter and infrared sensor;
• a housing guide comprising a leg extending away from the electronic compartment to support a collar;
• an image capture region spaced away from the electronic compartment and the housing guide;
• wherein the collar extends laterally around only a portion of the image capture region forming an entry gap into the image capture region, includes a guide surface that extends in a plane that is co-planar with the image capture region, and a sloping surface that slopes down towards the plane defined by the guide surface and the image capture region;
• and
• wherein the infrared emitter emits infrared light from the electronic compartment into the image capture region and the infrared sensor detects reflections of the emitted infrared light.
