Best for
Small sites that want one box for both jobs — clock in and out, and release the door — with reports pulled off on a USB stick rather than from a server.
Where it is the wrong choice
1,000 fingerprints and 1,000 cards is a hard ceiling, and there is no Wi-Fi, RS-485 or Wiegand: the only route back to software is the Ethernet port. Indoor only, and the optical sensor struggles with worn or dirty fingers.
