Description
Advanced Biometric Authentication
The DS-K1T342MFWX gives organizations multiple ways to authenticate employees and authorized users.
Face Recognition
The integrated 2 MP wide-angle camera provides fast face authentication with a recognition distance of 0.3 to 1.5 metres.
Face recognition takes less than 0.2 seconds per user, with an accuracy rate greater than 99% according to Hikvision’s datasheet.
Fingerprint Recognition
The terminal supports up to 3,000 fingerprints and provides fingerprint recognition in less than one second.
This makes it suitable for employee attendance and secure door access applications where fingerprint authentication is preferred.
MIFARE Card Authentication
The built-in M1 card reader operates at 13.56 MHz and supports M1 cards.
The card reading distance is up to 5 cm for normal cards, while the reading duration is less than one second.
Ideal for Time Attendance
The DS-K1T342MFWX can also be used as a biometric time attendance terminal.
Employees can clock in and out using:
- Face recognition
- Fingerprint
- MIFARE card
The device supports an attendance-only function, making it suitable for employee attendance deployments as well as access control installations.
Secure Door Access Control
The terminal provides the interfaces needed for integration with a door access system.
Available interfaces include:
- Lock control
- Exit button
- Door contact
- RS-485
- Wiegand
- USB
- Tamper
- RJ-45 network connection
This allows the DS-K1T342MFWX to be deployed as part of a complete door access control solution.
