Buyer Snapshot: Is the E2-B the Right Variant?
This model suits buyers who already know that face recognition and card credentials are the primary identification methods and who value the added continuity of a built-in battery. The choice should be driven by the access workflow, door equipment, employee enrolment process and management software rather than the model name alone.
Offices, commercial sites, education facilities, warehouses, project locations and controlled staff entrances that need face/card verification.
A single terminal can combine attendance workflows and access-control interfaces while the battery provides local resilience during short power disruptions.
Confirm whether the project requires fingerprint or QR. If it does, another Horus E2 variant should be evaluated instead of assuming those features are built into E2-B.

Product Overview
The ZKTeco Horus E2-B is designed for businesses that want a modern identity terminal at the entrance rather than a simple standalone clocking device. It combines visible-light facial authentication with RFID card support, password entry, a touchscreen user interface and physical access-control connections. That mix allows the same device to participate in workforce attendance processes while also communicating with common door-control components such as an electric lock, door sensor, exit button and alarm circuit. For buyers, the practical value is consolidation: fewer separate front-end devices may be needed when the selected workflow matches what the terminal already supports.
Its 5-inch color touchscreen provides the local user interface, while dual 2MP cameras and ZKFace VX5622 support facial recognition. ZKTeco specifies facial authentication at under one second with a touchless recognition distance from 30cm to 100cm. The platform can hold up to 50,000 users, 20,000 face templates, 50,000 cards and 200,000 transaction records. These capacities make the terminal relevant beyond a very small office, yet capacity alone should not be used to size a deployment. A project with several doors, multiple sites, large enrolment activity or strict reporting requirements still needs a management and network design that matches day-to-day operational needs.
The E2-B differentiator is the 3,200mAh lithium backup battery. This does not replace the need for correct DC power design, but it can improve continuity at sites where brief power events are a concern. The device uses DC 12V 3A and can communicate through TCP/IP, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth BLE 4.1 and supported 4G mobile networks. Wired Wiegand input/output and ZKTeco RS485 integration are also available, giving installers several ways to fit the terminal into an access-control environment.
For UAE projects, the selection process should include more than confirming the terminal model. Buyers should establish how employees will enrol, whether cards are 125kHz ID or 13.56MHz IC credentials, whether the door uses magnetic or strike locking, where the exit button and door contact will connect, how events will be managed, and whether ZKBio Time or ZKBio CVAccess is appropriate. FourTeck.com can help review these requirements before a quotation is prepared so the order reflects the actual business workflow.
Key Business Benefits
◆ Faster Staff Verification
Touchless facial authentication can reduce dependence on physical interaction at the terminal. ZKTeco specifies facial verification at under one second, helping businesses keep employee entry and attendance movement efficient at common start and finish times. Actual throughput still depends on user enrolment quality, positioning, site lighting, door behavior and the surrounding process.
◆ Credential Choice Without Overcomplication
The E2-B can verify users through face, supported cards and passwords. That gives administrators flexibility to use touchless face recognition for normal staff while keeping cards or password-based options available for selected workflows. Because fingerprint and QR are not part of this variant, buyers can avoid paying for a different model when those methods are unnecessary.
◆ Multiple Network Paths
TCP/IP remains practical for fixed business networks, while dual-band Wi-Fi can simplify deployment where a suitable wireless design exists. 4G support adds another communications option for selected use cases. This flexibility helps projects where cabling conditions differ from one entrance to another, but the network method should be chosen for reliability and manageability rather than convenience alone.
◆ Local Power Resilience
The built-in 3,200mAh lithium battery is the defining characteristic of the E2-B. It can provide useful local continuity when mains or adapter power is interrupted briefly. For critical doors, buyers should still plan the complete power path, including lock power and any upstream backup requirement, because keeping the terminal alive does not automatically keep every connected component powered.
◆ Access and Attendance in One Platform
Support for ZKBio Time and ZKBio CVAccess gives buyers a path to use the device in workforce attendance or access-control management scenarios. This can simplify administration when the organization wants a consistent ZKTeco environment, although the exact software architecture, licensing, version compatibility and reporting needs should be confirmed before deployment.
◆ Better Project Planning Through Standard Interfaces
Connections for lock, door sensor, exit button, alarm, Wiegand and RS485 allow the terminal to fit common access-control designs. For procurement teams, this means the quote can be built around the whole door rather than the terminal alone, helping reduce the risk of receiving the reader but missing the power supply, lock bracket, exit device or wiring required for completion.
Product Highlights That Matter in a Real Deployment
Horus E2-B combines a 2.0GHz octa-core processor, 2GB RAM and 16GB ROM with Android 10.0. Those platform specifications are important because the terminal is doing more than capturing an attendance event: it provides a touchscreen interface, runs the recognition workflow, handles communication, stores user and transaction data and can work with supported ZKTeco management software. Buyers considering third-party application integration should verify the exact application requirement, interface method and supported deployment path before assuming that any Android application can be installed without restriction.
A 720 × 1280 TFT color touchscreen provides a clear local interface for enrolment, verification and administration tasks.
The camera system supports the visible-light face-recognition workflow used by the E2 family.
Standard support includes 125kHz ID cards and 13.56MHz IC cards, useful when credential type must match an existing card environment.
Lock, door sensor, exit button, alarm and auxiliary input connections support a complete single-door workflow when correctly designed.
Ethernet, dual-band Wi-Fi, BLE 4.1 and 4G provide several communications choices for different site conditions.
ADMS, event photo capture, holidays, anti-passback, schedule bell, record query and protocol switching support broader operational workflows.
Before purchase, confirm the credential method, software platform, network connection, mounting surface and door hardware. The terminal is wall-mountable and compatible with Asian gang-box and single gang-box arrangements, but site conditions can still require additional accessories or installation preparation.

The specification table helps establish hardware fit, but project success depends on the surrounding door and management design. A buyer replacing an older terminal should compare credential type, network addressing, software compatibility, mounting position, wiring, lock power, exit button, door contact and any controller or reader interfaces. Capacity numbers should also be interpreted in context: a terminal may technically store many users while the organization still needs centralized administration, policy controls, reporting and backup procedures. FourTeck.com can review these details with procurement and technical teams before the final supply scope is confirmed.
Configuration and Buyer Guidance
A biometric access-control order should begin with the door workflow. Decide who is allowed through the door, how they will authenticate, what should happen after a valid or invalid event, whether attendance is also being recorded, and which team will manage users. Once that process is clear, the terminal, lock hardware, power design and software can be matched to the requirement.
How many people need enrolment?
Compare the expected active user count with the terminal’s 50,000-user capacity and decide whether enrolment will be local, centrally managed or synchronized across multiple devices.
Which credentials will staff use?
E2-B is appropriate for face, card and password workflows. If fingerprint or QR is mandatory, evaluate a different Horus E2 variant rather than planning around a feature the B model does not include.
What door equipment is already installed?
Identify the lock type, door sensor, exit button, power supply, emergency-release arrangement and existing reader/controller wiring. Existing hardware may be reusable only after compatibility is checked.
How should the terminal connect?
Fixed Ethernet is often easiest to manage, but Wi-Fi and 4G may suit specific sites. Confirm signal quality, network policy, IP addressing and management access before choosing a wireless path.
Which software will manage the system?
ZKTeco lists ZKBio Time and ZKBio CVAccess for the Horus E2 family. Confirm the selected platform, version, licensing requirement, reporting need and integration expectations before purchase.
What does backup power need to cover?
The E2-B has its own battery, but the lock and other door devices may rely on separate power. Critical entrances should be reviewed as a complete power system rather than assuming terminal battery backup protects every component.
When requesting a quotation, share the number of terminals, number and type of doors, expected users, preferred authentication method, card technology, management software, existing access hardware, network connection, installation location, required accessories and delivery destination. That information helps FourTeck.com prepare a more accurate scope and reduces the chance that important components are discovered only during installation.
Ideal Business Use Cases
The E2-B is most useful where a business wants controlled staff movement and attendance records from a modern face/card terminal while retaining a local battery. The following scenarios illustrate practical fits without assuming that every site needs the same design.
Corporate Office Entrances
An office can use facial authentication for employees and keep card credentials for selected staff, contractors or fallback processes. Attendance events can be managed alongside entry control when the chosen software and door design support the required workflow.
Warehouses and Logistics Sites
Sites with shift-based staff may benefit from quick face verification and card capacity while maintaining controlled access to operational areas. The installation should consider dust, heat, traffic flow, door construction and network availability within the specified environmental limits.
Education and Training Facilities
Schools, colleges and training centers may use the terminal for staff attendance or controlled rooms where authorized users need reliable entry. Privacy policy, enrolment governance and the intended user population should be established before biometric data is collected.
Temporary or Project Locations
The backup-battery variant can be attractive for project offices and temporary facilities where local power interruptions are more likely. Buyers should still plan stable DC power, suitable network connectivity and secure installation for the terminal and connected lock hardware.
Commercial Buildings
Reception-adjacent staff doors, back-office entrances and restricted internal areas can use face/card authentication when the system is integrated with the correct lock, door sensor and exit arrangement. Multi-door buildings may need a broader controller and management architecture.
Multi-Site Organizations
Companies standardizing attendance or access hardware across branches can consider Horus E2-B where a common face/card workflow is desired. Centralized software, user synchronization, network security, database management and site-by-site support planning become important as device count grows.
For any of these environments, buyers should verify whether the terminal will be used purely for attendance, purely for access control or for both. The answer changes the software, cabling, accessories and installation scope. A device used only to record attendance may not need a door lock connection; a device controlling a secure door needs a complete life-safety-aware access design. FourTeck.com can help translate the operational requirement into a supply list before purchase.
ZKTeco Horus E2-B Facial Authentication and Credential Flow
The primary biometric method on this variant is face recognition. ZKTeco specifies the ZKFace VX5622 algorithm, a 30cm to 100cm facial authentication distance and verification in under one second. Those numbers provide a useful technical baseline, but a business deployment should focus equally on enrolment quality and entrance behavior. Users need to approach the terminal naturally, the camera should have an appropriate view, and the device should be positioned where normal lighting and mounting height support consistent capture.
Card support adds another practical route. The terminal supports standard 125kHz ID cards and 13.56MHz IC cards, allowing projects to align the credential with an existing environment where compatible cards are already in circulation. Procurement teams should not assume that every previously issued card will automatically work. Card technology, encoding and the wider access-control system need to be checked. Where an organization is migrating from an older terminal, testing a sample credential before a large rollout can prevent avoidable reissuance costs.
Password entry through the virtual keypad can provide an additional authentication method for selected workflows. Administrators should define whether users are allowed to choose between methods or whether multiple factors are required for certain events. The terminal supports multiple authentication methods, but the final policy should be configured according to the organization’s security rules and supported system behavior.
ZKTeco Horus E2-B Connectivity and Access Integration
Connectivity is one of the strongest planning advantages of the Horus E2 platform. The terminal provides TCP/IP for structured wired networks, dual-band Wi-Fi supporting 2.4GHz and 5GHz standards, Bluetooth BLE 4.1 and 4G mobile communication support. This gives installers options when site conditions differ, but having several network interfaces does not mean every project should use the most convenient one. A permanently installed office terminal may be easiest to manage through Ethernet, while a project location could have reasons to consider Wi-Fi or mobile connectivity after signal quality and network policy are reviewed.
The physical access-control interfaces make the device useful as more than a networked attendance screen. Wiegand input and output, ZKTeco RS485, auxiliary input, electric-lock connection, door sensor, exit button and alarm interface can support a conventional door workflow. Buyers should map every connection before purchasing accessories. A magnetic lock, electric strike, emergency break-glass device, door closer, request-to-exit button and power supply each have different electrical and installation considerations.
For larger security environments, the question is whether the terminal should operate directly with the door hardware or participate in a controller-based architecture. The answer depends on the number of doors, required redundancy, central management, building policy and integration objectives. Wiegand and RS485 availability provides options, but system design should be reviewed rather than assumed from port presence alone.
ZKTeco Horus E2-B Backup Power and Operational Continuity
The 3,200mAh lithium battery is the feature that separates E2-B from the standard Horus E2, E2-FP and E2-QR variants in ZKTeco’s current model table. For businesses, its value is straightforward: the terminal has local stored energy that can help it remain operational during a brief interruption to its normal DC 12V 3A supply. This can be useful in project environments, temporary offices or buildings where short power events would otherwise interrupt attendance verification at the device.
However, battery-backed terminal operation is only one part of continuity. If an electric lock, controller, network switch or router loses power, the door workflow or communication path may still be affected even though the terminal remains active. Critical-access projects should therefore assess the complete chain from mains power through adapters, lock power, network infrastructure and management systems. A UPS or dedicated access-control power solution may still be appropriate depending on the risk and required behavior.
Buyers should also consider what happens when communication is unavailable but the terminal is still running. Local user and transaction capacity can help the device continue performing its configured tasks, but synchronization behavior and management-platform recovery should be tested in the intended deployment. That is especially important for attendance environments where HR teams expect complete records after a network outage.
Common Questions Business Buyers Ask Before Selecting This Terminal
The right access-control terminal is determined by the surrounding business process. These answers help procurement teams, facility managers, IT administrators and security engineers evaluate whether the E2-B matches the users, credentials, software, doors and continuity requirements of the site.
Is the E2-B suitable for a growing organization?
Yes, when the expected deployment remains within the terminal’s published capacity and the organization needs face/card access or attendance. It supports up to 50,000 users, 20,000 face templates, 50,000 cards and 200,000 records. Growth planning should also cover software administration, additional doors, network bandwidth, database management and how users will be synchronized if more terminals are added later.
Can we use fingerprints on the Horus E2-B?
No. ZKTeco’s model table lists fingerprint capacity as not applicable for E2-B. If fingerprint recognition is required, the Horus E2-FP should be evaluated. Buyers sometimes see family-level descriptions that mention several authentication technologies, so it is important to confirm the exact variant instead of assuming every feature applies across the whole Horus E2 range.
Will our existing RFID cards work with it?
They may, but card technology must be checked. The terminal supports standard 125kHz ID cards and 13.56MHz IC cards. Existing credentials can differ in chip type, encoding and system use, so a sample-card test is advisable when migrating from another reader or attendance system. Share the current card details with FourTeck.com before a large replacement project is quoted.
Can the built-in battery power the complete access door?
The published 3,200mAh battery is part of the terminal. It should not be assumed to provide backup power for the electric lock, network switch, controller or other connected equipment. A continuity requirement should therefore be planned at system level. If the whole door must function during an outage, the lock power supply and network path may need separate backup arrangements.
Which network connection should we choose?
Ethernet is often preferred for fixed installations because it is straightforward to document and monitor, while dual-band Wi-Fi can help where cabling is difficult. 4G may suit selected remote or temporary scenarios. Choose based on stability, security policy, signal quality and management access. The terminal’s connectivity options should support the site design, not replace good network planning.
What should we check when replacing an older ZKTeco terminal?
Compare card technology, enrolment data, software platform, event migration expectations, Wiegand or RS485 requirements, lock wiring, power supply, mounting position and network configuration. Even within the same brand, a new terminal can use a different workflow or software path. Plan the migration rather than assuming the new device can be swapped in without configuration or data preparation.
What software should manage attendance and access events?
ZKTeco lists ZKBio Time and ZKBio CVAccess as supported software for the Horus E2 family, with ZKBio Zexus as a mobile application. The correct choice depends on whether the priority is workforce attendance, access control, centralized device management or another supported workflow. Confirm software version, licensing, server requirements and integration needs before finalizing hardware quantities.
What accessories are usually needed around the terminal?
The answer depends on whether it controls a door. Access-control projects may require an electric lock, suitable bracket, door sensor, exit button, emergency-release device, power supply, network cable, enclosure or controller integration. Attendance-only installations may need fewer components. The safest way to quote is to map the full entrance and identify which parts already exist and which must be supplied.
What information gives FourTeck the best basis for a quotation?
Share device quantity, door count, user count, authentication preference, card type, attendance requirement, management software, existing locks and controllers, network availability, installation environment, required accessories and delivery location. For replacements, add the current model and photos of the wiring or door hardware when possible. Clear inputs help separate a simple terminal supply from a complete access-control project.
Business Requirements to Match Before You Buy
For an office that wants contactless daily attendance
Face recognition can provide a touchless routine for employees, while card and password methods remain available. Confirm how attendance rules, shifts, exceptions and reports will be managed in the chosen software.
For a controlled door that already has lock hardware
The terminal includes lock, sensor, exit-button and alarm interfaces, but the existing lock voltage, power supply, fail-safe behavior and wiring must be confirmed before reusing installed components.
For sites where fixed Ethernet is unavailable
Dual-band Wi-Fi and 4G give alternative communication paths. Buyers should still check signal strength, network security, management access and expected synchronization behavior before selecting a wireless approach.
For locations that experience brief power interruptions
The E2-B battery can improve terminal continuity, but critical access requires a review of the complete power chain. Lock and network backup may need separate provision.
For teams standardizing access across several branches
Standard hardware can simplify support, but device synchronization, software architecture, card policy, user administration and network reachability should be defined before buying a larger quantity.
For procurement teams comparing Horus E2 variants
Choose by authentication method and operational need: E2-B is the battery variant, E2-FP adds fingerprint capability, and E2-QR is the QR-focused option. Confirm the precise model before issuing a purchase order.
What Buyers Should Check Before Purchase
A model code can look correct while the actual project scope is incomplete. Before requesting a quote, review the terminal together with the door, network, software and administration process. That approach helps avoid common problems such as ordering the wrong authentication variant, overlooking a required lock bracket, discovering incompatible cards after delivery or assuming a battery backs up equipment that has its own separate power source.
Variant Accuracy
E2-B is the face/card/password model with backup battery. If the project specification calls for fingerprint or QR, the purchase request should be changed to the appropriate Horus E2 variant.
Compatibility Check
Confirm existing card technology, door lock, power supply, wiring, controller interfaces, network design and software platform. Replacement projects should not rely on visual similarity between old and new devices.
Installation Environment
Check mounting surface, cable route, available gang box, indoor environmental conditions, temperature, humidity and access to DC power. Site preparation can be as important as the terminal selection itself.
Software and Administration
Decide who will enrol users, manage cards, review events, handle attendance exceptions and maintain the database. Confirm software licensing and compatibility before committing to a larger rollout.
Power Continuity
Identify which components must continue operating during a power event. The terminal battery does not automatically provide backup power to the lock, router, switch or controller.
Warranty and Lifecycle Expectations
Ask for the warranty terms applicable to the quoted supply channel and country. Also confirm current model status and replacement options if the purchase is for a long-running multi-site standard.
For project orders, provide a bill of quantities or site list that separates terminal supply from locks, exit buttons, power supplies, cards, cables, brackets, controllers, software and installation. FourTeck.com can help review the requirement so procurement teams receive a quotation that is easier to compare and less likely to miss essential components.
UAE Availability and Service Support
FourTeck.com supports ZKTeco access-control and attendance inquiries for businesses in Dubai and across the UAE. Availability can change based on supplier status, model revision, order quantity and project timing, so buyers should request confirmation for the E2-B specifically rather than relying on general Horus E2 family availability. This is particularly important because the family includes different authentication variants that can be confused when only a short model description is used.
Quote support can cover terminal-only supply or a broader access-control requirement. If you need a complete door, share the lock type, door material, door sensor, request-to-exit method, power arrangement, network point, card requirement and software preference. FourTeck.com can help identify whether additional items should be included and can coordinate delivery requirements based on the confirmed order scope.
Warranty guidance should be reviewed against the exact quotation and supply channel. Do not assume that a warranty term shown in another country automatically applies to a UAE purchase. For replacement projects, FourTeck can also help compare the E2-B with the currently installed terminal and flag areas that may require software migration, credential testing or wiring changes.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman Coverage
Businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman can contact FourTeck.com for product availability, configuration review and quotation assistance. The same planning principles apply whether the requirement is one attendance terminal for an office or a larger access-control rollout: confirm the exact Horus variant, the number of users and doors, card technology, software environment, network method, door hardware, installation scope and delivery location. For multi-emirate organizations, provide the site list and quantities per location so supply and deployment requirements can be reviewed consistently without creating separate specifications for each city.
Regional Availability for GCC and Africa Requirements
FourTeck.com also supports business technology inquiries across selected GCC and Africa markets through regional inquiry channels. Organizations with operations in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait or Bahrain can discuss product sourcing and project requirements alongside their UAE needs, while customers with sites in Kenya, Uganda and other Africa locations can use FourTeck’s regional platforms for local inquiry routing.
Regional availability, warranty handling, freight, local installation options and supported product revisions can differ by country. For that reason, a multinational business should not assume that a quotation prepared for one market applies unchanged to another. Share the country, site quantity, required model, power and network environment, software architecture and whether the equipment will be centrally managed across borders.
For regional inquiries, you can begin with FourTeck UAE, FourTeck Kenya, FourTeck Uganda, FourTeck Africa or FourTeck Kuwait. The final supply and support route should be confirmed for the destination country before order placement.
Related Models and Solutions Buyers May Consider
The best alternative depends on what is missing from the E2-B requirement. Buyers should compare authentication method, battery need, software environment and door architecture rather than choosing the next model simply because it appears similar.
ZKTeco Horus E2
Consider the standard variant when the project needs the Horus E2 platform but does not require the E2-B battery feature.
ZKTeco Horus E2-FP
Evaluate this variant when fingerprint recognition is a mandatory credential in addition to the broader Horus E2 platform features.
ZKTeco Horus E2-QR
Consider the QR-focused model when the project requires supported QR workflows rather than the battery emphasis of the E2-B.
ZKTeco Face Terminal Alternatives
If capacity, form factor, environmental requirement or integration needs differ, another ZKTeco face terminal family may be a better fit.
Complete Door Access Solution
Projects that need the terminal plus lock, exit button, sensor, power supply, cabling and installation should be planned as a complete door package.
Network and Security Readiness
Multi-site access projects may also require VLAN, switching, firewall and connectivity planning for reliable device communication.
Why Business Buyers Contact FourTeck.com
Access-control procurement often fails when a terminal is treated as an isolated item. FourTeck.com approaches the requirement as part of the wider business technology environment: user identity, door hardware, network communication, management software and the operational process all need to work together. That approach is useful for procurement teams that need clarity before raising a purchase order and for technical teams that want fewer surprises during installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Horus E2-B used for?
It is an Android-based terminal for facial and card authentication in time-attendance and access-control environments. Businesses can use it to identify staff, record events and control a door when it is connected to the appropriate lock, sensor and exit hardware. The exact workflow depends on the software, access policy and installation design selected for the site.
Does E2-B include fingerprint recognition?
No. ZKTeco lists fingerprint capacity as not applicable for the E2-B variant. The Horus E2-FP is the family model intended for fingerprint capability. This distinction matters when preparing a purchase order because family-level product descriptions can mention authentication options that do not apply to every individual variant.
What is special about the E2-B model?
Its defining model-specific feature is a 3,200mAh lithium backup battery. This can help the terminal remain active through short interruptions to its normal DC supply. It should not be interpreted as backup power for the entire door system; locks, controllers, switches and routers may need their own power-continuity planning.
Can FourTeck.com help with a complete access-control door?
Yes, FourTeck can review a broader requirement that includes the terminal, compatible lock, bracket, exit button, door sensor, power supply, cabling and network considerations. The final bill of quantities depends on the door type, security policy, existing equipment and whether installation or configuration support is part of the requested scope.
Which management software is supported?
ZKTeco lists ZKBio Time and ZKBio CVAccess as supported software for the Horus E2 family, and also lists the ZKBio Zexus mobile application. Buyers should confirm the software version, licensing, server or cloud requirements and intended attendance or access workflow before committing to a larger deployment.
Is the terminal available for Dubai and UAE orders?
FourTeck.com can support availability inquiries and quotation requests for UAE business requirements. Actual supply depends on current supplier status, exact model, quantity and project timing, so availability should be confirmed at the time of quotation. Buyers should specify E2-B clearly to avoid receiving an offer for another Horus E2 variant.
Can the E2-B connect over Wi-Fi or 4G?
Yes. ZKTeco lists dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth BLE 4.1, TCP/IP and 4G mobile communication support. The best connection depends on site reliability, security policy, signal quality and how the management system reaches the terminal. For permanent business installations, network design should be documented before devices are deployed.
How do I choose between E2-B, E2-FP and E2-QR?
Start with the authentication method and continuity requirement. Choose E2-B when face/card operation and the built-in backup battery are priorities. Consider E2-FP when fingerprint verification is required, and E2-QR when the project needs the QR-oriented variant. Then verify software, network, capacity and installation compatibility for the selected model.
What should I send when requesting a quotation?
Send the required quantity, number of doors, approximate users, authentication method, card type, attendance requirement, management software, existing lock or controller details, preferred network connection, installation location, accessories needed and delivery destination. For replacement projects, include the current terminal model so compatibility and migration questions can be reviewed earlier.
Need Help Confirming the Right Horus E2 Variant?
