Card Readers

This collection contains the ZKTeco CR100 desktop card reader for registering contactless credentials in a compatible host application. Choose it for card reading and enrolment rather than fingerprint capture or card encoding.

Choose around the enrolment workflow

The current collection contains one model, CR100. Its dual-frequency reader handles supported 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz credentials, but the card frequency alone does not establish that a protected card application will be readable. Establish which credential identifier the receiving software needs and how that software accepts input.

Separate reading from writing

Reading an existing identifier and encoding a card are different tasks. If the project needs supported card data to be written, compare the Card Issuers collection. If fingerprint capture is required, use the Fingerprint Scanners collection and check the exact host integration.

Category FAQs

Can the enrolment reader replace the reader mounted at a door?

Do not assume that role is interchangeable. A desktop USB enrolment peripheral supplies data to a host; a door reader must match the access controller's interface and operating arrangement.
