Best for
Door frames and mullions too narrow for a square terminal, on sites that want attendance and door control from the same unit and a secure door control unit on the safe side of the wall.
Where it is the wrong choice
3,000 fingerprints and 3,000 cards is a modest ceiling for a large workforce. No IP rating is published, so it is an indoor unit (-10 °C to 55 °C), and the optical sensor struggles with worn, dry or dirty fingers.
