Solution planning

Design the entrance workflow before choosing the terminal.

A reliable proposal connects the credential, device, door or turnstile, network condition, management software and project reporting requirement.

Solution 01

Office Access Control

A company needs reliable employee entry records without slowing down the front door.

Use face for fast flow, fingerprint where identity assurance is more important, and RFID/QR for visitors or fallback.

Solution 02

Factory Time Attendance

A factory needs shift attendance data that remains usable even when network quality is unstable.

Publish shift rules, offline behavior and export format clearly so buyers can evaluate fit before asking for a quote.

Solution 03

Turnstile Face Recognition

A lobby, school or site entrance needs high-throughput identity checks connected to a turnstile gate.

Recognition speed, mounting height, anti-tailgating logic and visitor QR workflow should be specified for each project.

Apartment and Community Access

Residents, visitors and property staff need different credentials and audit trails across many entrances.

Outdoor rating, vandal resistance, network availability and visitor process decide the final device mix.

OEM and Platform Integration

A distributor or system integrator needs hardware that connects to its own software and brand workflow.

Do not promise every API on every model; publish a firmware compatibility matrix and request project details.

Elevator Control Face Recognition

A building needs identity verification before users can access authorized floors.

The 2026 catalog states support for max 64 floors with four extension controller boards. Floor permission logic should be confirmed during project design.

OSDP Access Control

A project needs encrypted communication between biometric readers and access controllers.

Catalog shows two working modes: TIMY device as reader connected with OSDP controller, or TIMY device as controller connected with OSDP reader.

BioSecureCard Privacy Solution

Some customers want biometric matching without storing face or fingerprint data on a server.

Catalog states biometric data is stored in the encrypted CPU card, not on a server or external device. This is useful for GDPR-sensitive projects.

Facial Recognition Smart Locker

A locker operator wants to remove physical keys or cards while keeping user access traceable.

Catalog positions this as a way to reduce lost credentials and replacement cost while improving access security.

UHF RFID Parking Access

A parking entrance needs long-distance vehicle identification without stopping every car for close-range card reading.

Catalog lists UHF reader ranges from 5-6 m to 30-40 m and supports multiple tag types for vehicle access management.

Video Intercom + Biometric Access

Apartments or offices need biometric access plus two-way video confirmation and remote unlock.

Catalog states one outdoor terminal can connect to unlimited indoor tablet hosts, with two-way video talk and remote lock control.

Selection comparisons

Choose the biometric method around the operating condition.

These comparisons help define a shortlist; they do not replace model-specific testing or a current datasheet.

Ecoface vs Omniface vs Maxface

Use Ecoface for cost-sensitive projects, Omniface for balanced features, and Maxface for higher-end performance after verifying model specs.

Face vs fingerprint access control

Face is faster and contactless; fingerprint can be lower cost and more controlled, but may be less convenient in wet or dusty environments.

Finger vein vs palm vein

Both support higher-assurance biometric projects. Finger vein is compact; palm vein is more contactless, but model availability and cost matter.

RFID vs QR code access

RFID is stable for employees and residents. QR is strong for visitor and temporary credentials. Many systems use both.

Standalone vs network access control

Standalone is simple for one door. Network systems are better when logs, remote management and multi-site control matter.

Cloud vs on-premise attendance

Cloud helps multi-branch visibility. On-premise can be preferred for stricter data control or limited internet access.
