Biometric Fingerprint Access Control

The ZKTeco F18 uses an optical fingerprint sensor to verify registered users. Fingerprint-based verification can help businesses manage access to designated areas without relying solely on physical keys.

Administrators can register supported users and configure access permissions according to the installation requirements. The terminal can also connect to compatible access control equipment, including electric door locks, door sensors, exit buttons and alarms.

The exact access control setup depends on the connected hardware, firmware and installation configuration.

Employee Time Attendance Management

The ZKTeco F18 is suitable for workplaces that need to maintain employee attendance records. Registered users can verify their identity using the supported authentication method, allowing attendance events to be recorded by the terminal.

Businesses can use compatible ZKTeco attendance software to manage records and support their attendance workflows. Available software features depend on the terminal’s firmware, configuration and software compatibility.

Fingerprint and Optional Card Verification

The device supports up to 3,000 fingerprint templates. Optional card capacity is listed at up to 5,000 cards, but card functionality depends on the hardware configuration and compatible card module supplied with the unit.

Before purchasing, confirm whether the required RFID card reader functionality is included in your specific F18 version. Do not assume every card technology is supported by every configuration.
