Reader
Access control readers identify the person at the door and pass the credential to the controller. BSD Infotech supplies card readers for ID and MIFARE cards, fingerprint readers, and charging/acquisition bases, matched to the controller or terminal used on the project.
Reader Types
Card reader
Reads 125 kHz ID or 13.56 MHz MIFARE cards and sends the number to the controller, typically over Wiegand. See the KR500 and KR600 readers.
Fingerprint reader
Used for enrolment or identification in biometric access and attendance. See fingerprint readers.
Charging / acquisition base
A base for compatible devices to charge and transfer data. Model and compatibility details are confirmed on enquiry.
Entry and Exit Readers
Many doors use a reader outside for entry and a second reader inside for exit, so every movement is recorded and anti-passback rules can be applied by the controller. The reader type must match the cards in use and the controller’s input.
