The QR500 from ZKTeco is an advanced intelligent reader designed for modern access control systems, offering a versatile solution for various management needs. This device integrates QR code verification with 13.56MHz Mifare card and cellphone NFC capabilities, providing a comprehensive and secure access method. Its primary function is to serve as a slave reader, connecting seamlessly with ZKTeco access controllers and biometric access control terminals through Wiegand and RS485 ports.
The core function of the QR500 is to read and verify QR codes, 13.56MHz Mifare Ultralight/DESFire EV1 cards, and NTag devices. This multi-technology support makes it highly adaptable to different security requirements. When a QR code or an RFID card is presented to the reader, the QR500 processes the information and transmits it to a connected access controller or biometric terminal. The controller then determines whether to grant or deny access based on the stored user data and access policies.
The device boasts a fast scanning speed and a high recognition rate, ensuring efficient and reliable access verification. Its high compatibility allows it to be connected to any access controller that supports Wiegand input, making it a flexible addition to existing security infrastructures. The QR500 can replace other ZKTeco models like Inbio and F18, offering an upgraded solution with QR code capabilities.
For access control systems, the QR code is treated as a group of digital numbers. When registering a new user in the ZKAccess software, these digital numbers are entered into the "Card Number" field, effectively linking the QR code to a specific user's access profile. This integration allows for a streamlined user management process where QR codes function similarly to traditional access cards.
The QR500 supports a range of popular ZKTeco access controllers, including the C3-100, C3-200, C3-300, Inbio160, Inbio260, and Inbio460. It also integrates with various RFID and biometric access control terminals such as the SC700, F18, F19, F21, F22, TF1700, SF300, SF400, iFace, UFace, MiniAC Plus, SpeedFace V5L, and ProfaceX. This broad compatibility ensures that the QR500 can be deployed in diverse environments, from simple door access to complex multi-door systems.
The QR500 is designed for ease of use and integration. Its slave reader architecture means it relies on a master access controller for decision-making. The connection to the access controller is typically straightforward, with devices often pairing automatically without special configuration if connected correctly. However, for ZKTeco Biometric Access Control devices, which default to Wiegand 26, it is recommended to set the device to Wiegand 34 when working with the QR500 to ensure optimal communication.
Configuration of the QR500's parameters is facilitated by a dedicated demo software. This software allows users to connect the QR500 to a PC via USB and adjust settings such as QR code decryption key, door ID, QR code mode (e.g., encrypted or not encrypted), light mode, Wiegand mode (e.g., WG34), pulse width, output format, and pulse interval. This level of configurability ensures that the reader can be tailored to specific operational requirements and security policies.
One significant feature is the ability to generate QR codes using the demo software. If users do not have a separate QR code generation tool, they can access the "QR Code Tool" within the demo software, input the desired codes, and create QR codes for access. This integrated functionality simplifies the process of issuing QR-based credentials.
The QR500 offers flexible access verification methods. While it supports both QR code and RFID card scanning, it's important to note that it cannot verify both simultaneously. Users must choose to verify either an RFID card or a QR code at one time. This design ensures clarity and prevents potential conflicts during access attempts.
For temporary visitor access, the QR500 provides a convenient solution. A QR code can be created with timezone restrictions and shared with visitors, eliminating the need for physical cards or other tokens. When registering visitor information in the ZKAccess software, the valid access period can be set within the Access Level Submenu, allowing for precise control over temporary access. This feature is particularly useful for managing guests, contractors, or short-term personnel in various settings.
The device's application extends to various management scenarios, including community management, visitor management, hotel management, and even unmanned supermarkets. Its ability to handle both traditional RFID cards and modern QR codes makes it a forward-looking solution for evolving access control needs.
Maintenance of the QR500 primarily involves ensuring proper connectivity and configuration. If there is no response from the master device when a card is waved or a QR code is scanned on the QR500, the first step in troubleshooting is to check the Wiegand input format in the ZKTeco device. Incorrect Wiegand settings can prevent communication between the reader and the controller.
The demo software also includes features for firmware upgrades and page configuration, allowing administrators to keep the device's software up-to-date and customize its operational interface. Regular firmware updates can introduce new features, improve performance, and address any security vulnerabilities, ensuring the device remains robust and efficient over time.
The robust design of the QR500, coupled with its comprehensive software support, aims to minimize the need for frequent physical maintenance. The focus is on software-based management and configuration, which simplifies troubleshooting and updates. The device's compatibility with a wide range of ZKTeco products also means that support and resources are readily available within the ZKTeco ecosystem.
In summary, the QR500 is a versatile and intelligent access control reader that combines QR code, Mifare card, and NFC technologies. Its high compatibility, fast performance, and user-friendly configuration tools make it an ideal choice for modern access control systems across various applications, offering a secure and efficient solution for managing access credentials.
