DS-K1201EF Fingerprint Reader

Advanced Security Authentication Solution

The DS-K1201EF Fingerprint Reader delivers enterprise-grade biometric authentication capabilities in a compact form factor. This versatile device combines optical fingerprint recognition with EM card reading technology to provide robust access control options. The reader utilizes encrypted data storage to ensure fingerprint templates remain secure at all times.

Multi-Authentication Flexibility

The DS-K1201EF supports various authentication modes to meet diverse security requirements:

• Fingerprint-only verification (1:N mode)
• Card-only verification
• Card + fingerprint dual-factor authentication (1:1 mode)

This flexibility allows system administrators to implement the appropriate security level for each access point. Additionally, the DS-K1201EF features impressive card induction distance ranging from 30 mm to 100 mm, enabling convenient contactless access when using EM cards.

High-Performance Biometric Technology

At the core of the DS-K1201EF is its optical CMOS fingerprint module, which delivers exceptional performance metrics:

• Ultra-fast fingerprint comparison times: 1:1 ≤ 1 second, 1:1000 ≤ 1 second
• Extremely low false rejection rate (FRR) ≤ 0.01%
• Minimal false acceptance rate (FAR) ≤ 0.001%
• Capacity for up to 5,000 fingerprint templates

The optical fingerprint technology in the DS-K1201AEF ensures reliable reads while maintaining high security standards. Furthermore, the system allows fingerprint template export to the card reader, creating a more versatile identification ecosystem.

Robust Communication & System Integration

The DS-K1201EF incorporates RS-485 communication with 19200bps-N-8-1 transmission rate and built-in CRC test protocols. This ensures reliable data transmission between the reader and the control panel. Moreover, the communication circuit features optical coupling isolation and noise suppression functionality, providing excellent performance even in electrically noisy environments.

Enhanced Security Features

Security remains paramount in the DS-K1201EF design. The device includes:

• Built-in tamper-proof function to detect unauthorized access attempts
• Status indication via integrated buzzer
• Accurate time tracking with built-in electronic clock
• Watchdog program ensuring continuous terminal functionality
