Hikvision DS-K1A8503MF-B – Value Series Fingerprint Time Attendance Terminal
The Hikvision DS-K1A8503MF-B Kenya listing covers a desk- or wall-mounted time attendance terminal that records staff clock-ins by fingerprint or MIFARE card. Specifically, it pairs an optical fingerprint sensor with a built-in M1 card reader, so each worker uses whichever credential suits them. As a result, it replaces paper registers and manual sign-in sheets with automatic attendance records.
In addition, the terminal identifies a fingerprint in under 1 second with 1:N matching. Its false acceptance rate is 0.001% or lower, which keeps one employee from clocking in for another. Meanwhile, a 2.4-inch LCD confirms each punch with the time, date, and status.
Furthermore, HR teams can set up to 32 shifts, 32 man-hour shifts, and 32 holiday schedules. Staff pick from six attendance statuses, such as break out or overtime in. The terminal then builds attendance reports automatically, and HR can copy them to a USB flash drive without a PC connection.
Notably, it also links to a 10/100 Mbps network over TCP/IP, with ISAPI and ISUP 5.0 support for Hikvision software. It stores 1,000 users and 100,000 records, runs on a 5 VDC adapter, and supports battery backup. For access control and attendance products to pair with it, browse our full Hikvision catalogue.
