Overview
What it is
The Armatura VG10CKQ is a Vanguard series smart reader in a slim mullion format. One device reads proximity and smart cards, Bluetooth mobile credentials and QR codes, and offers a touch keypad for PIN entry, sending results to the access controller over OSDP or Wiegand.
What it is used for
It suits narrow door frames at offices, residential towers, co-working spaces and visitor entrances, where staff use cards or phones and visitors are issued QR codes.
