Introduction to Products
The terminal for time attendance and door access system supports RFID card ID, 5-digit
password or combination of both. It works with security alarm system to alert users in
cases of break in and when the duress function in the terminal is used. The terminal can
integrate with a fire alarm system to unlock all doors when the fire alarm is triggered.
The terminal communicates with a computer via TCP/IP and it allows data transfer to be
done with USB flash disk to eliminate extra wiring.
The terminal complies with international standard of CE & FCC, our testament to safety
& quality.
