Choose Your Devices for Home
Every option below is compatible with this solution and comes from different brands and models. Choose one entry terminal model; the parts that must match its brand update automatically.
The main door and gate open with a face scan instead of keys, and the entry log shows who came in and when. A single standalone terminal is enough, so there is no controller or software to maintain.
Typical size: 1–2 doors, up to about 20 users.
