Overview
The ZKTeco Live20R is a desktop fingerprint scanner that plugs into a PC over USB. It captures a 500 dpi fingerprint image through an optical sensor and passes it to the computer or a compatible Android device, where software matches or stores the template. HR or security staff use it to register employee fingerprints at a desk instead of at the door terminal, and developers use it with the ZKTeco software development kit (SDK) to add fingerprint login or verification to their own applications.
Is it right for you?
- It suits an office that enrols many staff and wants to do it at a desk, then push the templates to attendance or access devices.
- It suits developers building fingerprint verification into their own software with the SDK.
- It is a scanner, not a standalone device: it stores no users and does nothing without host software.
- Templates use the ZKFinger V10.0 format, so they suit ZKTeco devices on that algorithm.
Key features
- Optical sensor at 500 dpi, 300 x 400 pixel image, 256 grey levels, with a 15.24 x 20.32 mm effective capture area (FAP20).
- Fingerprint liveness detection against fake fingers, and encrypted fingerprint data.
- Reads dry, wet or rough fingertips and works under strong or dim light.
- USB 2.0 (USB 1.1 compatible) with a USB Type A plug, powered from the port at 5 V: 200 mA while scanning, 60 mA idle.
- Image output in RAW, BMP or JPG.
- Splash resistant; works from -20 to 50 °C at up to 90% humidity.
- 75.5 x 53.2 x 19 mm, 0.12 kg; ZKFinger V10.0 algorithm; FCC, CE and RoHS certified.
What else you need
A PC or supported Android device with a free USB port, and ZKTeco software that supports it for enrolment or an application built on the SDK. No separate power supply: it runs from the USB port.
Installation
No installation beyond plugging it into a USB port and installing the driver and software on the computer. An IT administrator can set it up.
Software and licences
Check that your attendance or access software supports the Live20R for enrolment, or that your developers will use the ZKTeco SDK.
Before you buy
- It is an enrolment and verification scanner for a computer, not a door or attendance terminal.
- Confirm software support before ordering.

Questions about this product
Does the Live20R work on its own?
No. It stores no users and needs a PC or supported Android device running ZKTeco software or an SDK-based application.
What power does it need?
None beyond the USB port: 5 V at 200 mA while scanning and 60 mA when idle.
Can it tell a fake finger from a real one?
It has fingerprint liveness detection, and the fingerprint data it sends is encrypted.
Will its fingerprints work on my ZKTeco terminals?
Templates use the ZKFinger V10.0 format, so they suit ZKTeco devices on that algorithm. Check the algorithm version on your terminals.
Does it work with wet or dry fingers?
Yes. It reads dry, wet or rough fingertips and works under strong or dim light.
