Overview
The ZKTeco F18 Pro combines fingerprint, card and password access verification with a four-megapixel camera and cloud-connected video intercom. Its optical fingerprint sensor and physical keypad provide the credential interface. The camera is documented for video and intelligent video analytics, rather than face authentication. The manufacturer lists 3,000 fingerprint templates, 5,000 users, 5,000 cards and 100,000 transactions as separate capacities.
The camera provides 2560 × 1440 video at up to 15 frames per second using H.265 compression, with an ultra-wide 154.8-degree diagonal field of view. Infrared illumination supports the specified low-light arrangement: the image changes to black and white below 2 lux and returns to colour above 6 lux. This describes the camera’s operating behaviour, rather than a guarantee of identifiable detail throughout every doorway or lighting condition.
The Yoosee mobile application provides the documented live-view, two-way conversation and remote-unlock workflow, with Gwell named for cloud video storage and analytics. The Linux access terminal separately supports AC PUSH and TA PUSH switching for ZKBio CVAccess or ZKBio Time. These access-management and video-service roles should be specified together without assuming one application replaces the other. Ethernet, Wiegand input/output, ZKTeco RS485 and the door-device connections support the applicable installation. Its ABS enclosure has no stated numerical ingress rating in the current table, so exposed-outdoor suitability should not be inferred from the camera or intercom features.
Applications & Use Cases
- Event-driven doorway video review: The manufacturer describes person, motion and vehicle detection with push notifications containing text and JPEG images. Flame detection is explicitly supplementary; it is not represented as a replacement for a compliant fire-detection installation.
Product FAQs
Can an unlimited number of people watch a continuous live stream?
The March 2026 datasheet limits live view to 10 minutes per session and two concurrent viewers. Its Yoosee entry lists 300 devices per account and sharing with up to 10 users per device. These are published application limits, not unlimited-viewing promises.
Does local video storage mean a memory card is supplied?
The manufacturer supports a local TF card up to 256 GB, alongside Gwell cloud storage. That is supported storage capacity, not confirmation of a supplied card, cloud plan or included retention term. Define those package details separately.
Can every advertised wireless link be assumed to serve the same subsystem?
The access Communication row lists 2.4 GHz b/g/n Wi-Fi, while the separate Networking & Interfaces section lists dual-band Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.0. The document does not explain their relationship. Confirm the exact connection path and firmware if the design depends on 5 GHz or Bluetooth functionality.
Can its RS232 connection serve any serial peripheral?
The specification labels RS232 optional and only for a printer. It does not establish general serial-reader support. Match the printer and connection to the applicable terminal configuration.
Are ordinary ID and IC cards both listed as standard?
Yes. The March 2026 datasheet specifies 125 kHz ID and 13.56 MHz IC as standard. That does not establish HID iCLASS, encrypted DESFire application access or every other card technology; require exact support for the credential actually being used.
