MORX BioFace MSD5K Face Recognition Attendance and Access Terminal

Overview

The MORX BioFace MSD5K is a face recognition terminal for attendance and door access that also reads fingerprints, ID cards, passwords and QR codes shown to its camera. It recognises faces from 0.5 to 2.5 m away, including people wearing masks, so staff and visitors do not have to stop and touch anything. It suits large offices, industrial plants, institutions, hospitals and public sector buildings with several departments.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a place where people identify themselves in different ways: by face, fingerprint, card, PIN or QR code.
• The standard capacity is 5,000 faces, cards and passwords; a 50,000 option is available, so ask for it if you expect to grow past 5,000.
• It is rated 0 to 45 °C, so plan an indoor or sheltered mounting position.
• If you only need face, card and PIN, the smaller BioFace MSD5K Mini fits a tighter space. If you need 20,000 faces or an aluminium case, look at the BioFace MSD20K.

Key features

• 5,000 faces, cards and passwords (50,000 optional), 10,000 fingerprints and 500,000 logs.
• 2 MP colour wide dynamic range (WDR) camera plus a 2 MP infrared live camera, so photos and videos held up to the terminal are rejected.
• Recognition in under 0.2 s, with LED and dual infrared fill light for dim or backlit entrances.
• Mask detection, and QR codes read by the camera, so visitor passes can be issued as codes.
• 4.3 inch touchscreen, 272 x 480.
• Wired network (TCP/IP) and Wi-Fi with push data, so logs reach the server as they happen; USB disk transfer as a fallback.
• Relay, alarm output, fire input, door sensor, exit button, doorbell and Wiegand 26/34 in and out, with anti-passback so a person cannot enter twice without leaving.
• 187.5 x 87.5 x 26 mm, with a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor, 256 MB RAM and 4 GB storage.

What else you need

• A 12 V DC supply, 1 A or 2 A.
• For door control: an electromagnetic (EM) lock or electric strike, an exit button and a door sensor.
• A network cable or Wi-Fi connection to attendance or access software, or a USB disk for manual transfer.

Installation

An access control installer should mount it indoors or under cover at face height, wire the power, lock, exit button and door sensor, and connect the fire input where the door must release on a fire alarm. The recognition distance is adjustable between 0.5 and 2.5 m.

Before you buy

• ID card reading is standard and IC card reading is optional, so tell us the card type.
• Order the 50,000 face capacity option if 5,000 is not enough.
• Rated 0 to 45 °C: indoor or sheltered mounting only.
