ZKTeco ZKBio CVSecurity Web-Based Integrated Security Platform Software

Overview

What it is

ZKTeco ZKBio CVSecurity is a web-based security platform that combines biometric access control with computer vision. It installs on a Windows server and is operated from a browser, with the ZKBio Zexus app for administrators and staff. The build supplied is version 6.8.2, released 1 September 2026. ZKTeco’s global build 6.9.0 adds support for the CVEdge 160 AI controller; tell us if your project needs it.

What it is used for

Campuses, corporate offices, hospitals, residential complexes and government sites use it to run people, doors, gates, lifts, car parks and cameras from one system across several buildings.

Key features

• Modules listed in the 6.8.0 datasheet, each licensed separately: personnel, access control, time and attendance, visitor, parking, elevator control, entrance control, video surveillance, video intercom, intrusion alarm, audio broadcast, space management, energy saving, locker, FaceKiosk, consumption, guard patrol and service centre
• Platform limits of 300,000 personnel, 5,000 doors, 2,000 attendance points, 100,000 visitors per month and 1,024 cameras
• Cross-module linkage and role-based dashboards; ZKTeco also lists an AI agent for natural language requests, whose requirements and licensing are confirmed on the quote
• Microsoft Active Directory and Microsoft 365, Bosch and RISCO intrusion panels, KONE and Mitsubishi Electric destination control
• WhatsApp, SMS, Amazon SNS and email notifications

Buying considerations

Licensing is modular and sized by capacity: doors, attendance devices, visitors per month and registration sites, elevator panels, licence plate recognition (LPR) cameras, video channels and mobile accounts. The third-party application programming interface (API) needs its own licence. A 60-day trial licence with limited usage tokens activates automatically on a fresh installation of version 6.8.0 or later. Licences are bound to one server; ZKTeco’s self-service reset moves a licence when the server is replaced.

Installation considerations

Size the server from the datasheet: a small project (up to 50 push devices and 64 video channels) starts at a quad-core Core i5, 8 GB RAM and 100 GB; 200 to 600 devices call for a Core i7 octa-core, 16 GB RAM and 500 GB SSD. PostgreSQL and Oracle are supported; Microsoft SQL Server only through an exclusive package after ZKTeco evaluation, and SQL Server or Oracle needs a separate database server.

Compatibility

Works with the controllers, terminals, cameras and accessories in ZKTeco’s Hardware Suggestion List for each module, at the firmware versions listed there. Check each model against the list for build 6.8.2; the CVEdge 160 needs build 6.9.0.
