ZKTeco FR1300 in the UAE
The ZKTeco FR1300 is an indoor fingerprint and card reader that connects over RS-485 to a ZKTeco master controller such as the inBIO series panels. It does not work on its own — it adds a reader position to a controller, for example the exit side of a door or another door on the same panel.

Questions
Common questions
What is the ZKTeco FR1300 best suited to?
Adding in/out reading or extra doors to an existing ZKTeco inBIO access control panel. Where it is the wrong choice: not a standalone device and not an attendance terminal. It needs a compatible ZKTeco controller to do anything.
How does the ZKTeco FR1300 connect?
It supports RS-485 to controller. In UAE installations we normally run terminals on wired Ethernet, keeping wireless as the fallback where cabling is impractical.
Can the ZKTeco FR1300 be used for time attendance?
Not on its own — it is an access control device. It connects to a ZKTeco inBIO controller, which is managed in ZKTeco's access control software. If you need attendance as well, we pair it with an attendance terminal at the main entrance.
Do you install and support the ZKTeco FR1300 across the UAE?
Yes. We supply, install, configure, train your team and support it across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Call +971 56 614 2543 or message us on WhatsApp for a fixed written quote.
