Overview

Product Summary

Three Authentication Factors. One Elegant Reader. OSDP v2 Encrypted Communication at Every Door.

Access control is only as strong as the authentication at the reader. A single-factor reader — card only or PIN only — can be defeated by a stolen credential or an observed code. The multi-modal biometric reader combines fingerprint verification, 13.56MHz smart card reading, and PIN authentication in a single unit, supporting two-factor and three-factor authentication policies at doors where the risk justifies the additional verification step.

SSAL deploys multi-modal biometric readers at high-security access points across banking server rooms, hospital pharmacy areas, government restricted zones, and corporate data centres — locations where the consequence of unauthorised access is severe and the investment in stronger authentication is clearly justified.


Key Features

  • Three Authentication Modalities: Fingerprint biometric, 13.56MHz contactless smart card (MIFARE Classic, MIFARE DESFire EV2, ISO 14443 A/B), and PIN keypad — configurable in any 1F, 2F, or 3F combination per door policy
  • OSDP v2 Encrypted Communication: Open Supervised Device Protocol v2 replaces legacy Wiegand with AES-128 encrypted, supervised, bidirectional communication — eliminates the signal-intercept vulnerability inherent in standard Wiegand wiring
  • 5,000 Fingerprint Capacity: On-device fingerprint template storage for standalone operation — continues to authenticate locally during network interruptions without degrading to PIN-only
  • False Acceptance Rate <0.001%: Optical sensor with live-finger detection achieves forensic-grade authentication accuracy — probability of an incorrect fingerprint matching a stored template is less than 1 in 100,000 verifications
  • False Rejection Rate <0.1%: Legitimate users are accepted on first attempt 99.9% of the time — no bottleneck at high-traffic doors despite multi-factor verification
  • Response Time <1 Second: Combined biometric + card verification completes in under one second — invisible latency for users, no queue formation at 30 ppm throughput with a turnstile
  • Tamper Alarm: Front cover tamper detection and wall tamper detection — immediately alerts the access control management system if the reader is opened or forcibly removed from the wall plate
  • IP65 Rated Housing: Suitable for outdoor mounting on external door columns and car park equipment areas; dust-tight and splash-resistant for Bangladesh's monsoon season
  • Wiegand Output (Parallel): Wiegand 26/34-bit output available alongside OSDP v2, enabling deployment with existing Wiegand-based controllers during phased migrations
  • OLED/LCD Display: Clear user feedback — door status, access granted/denied, administrator messages, and anti-passback warnings
  • PoE Optional: Supports PoE (IEEE 802.3af) power delivery in addition to 12VDC input — flexible power options for varied installation scenarios
  • Anti-Passback Support: Reader communicates tailgating and anti-passback zone status to controller — prevents credential sharing and zone misuse

Typical Applications

  • Bank Server Room & ATM Safe Area: Bangladesh Bank ICT Guideline v4.0 requires biometric authentication for IT room access — this reader fulfils the requirement with an audit-grade AES-128 encrypted communication trail
  • Hospital Pharmacy & Drug Storage: Two-factor authentication (card + fingerprint) restricts access to authorised pharmacists only; complete event log for regulatory audit
  • Corporate Data Centre: Three-factor authentication (card + fingerprint + PIN) for highest-security zones; OSDP v2 prevents reader spoofing attacks on the cable run
  • Government Restricted Zone: Personnel verification with anti-passback enforcement prevents credential lending between staff
  • University Laboratory & Research Facility: IP65 rating allows mounting in equipment corridors and semi-outdoor covered walkways
  • Industrial Control Room: Rugged IP65 housing withstands factory dust and humidity; fingerprint operates reliably despite minor contamination

Compatibility & Integration

Multi-modal biometric readers communicate via OSDP v2 to compatible access control controllers including Gallagher T-Series, Honeywell NetAXS-123, and ZKTeco InBio series. Wiegand output provides backward compatibility with existing controller infrastructure during phased upgrade programmes. Template management (enrolment, deletion, export) is performed through the access control management software — SSAL integrates ZKTeco BioAccess, Gallagher Command Centre, and Honeywell Pro-Watch as the primary management platforms.
