Smarter ways to secure your space

SMART Access & Identity 2025 Access Control & Identity Management, Products & Solutions


In today’s rapidly developing digital and interconnected landscape, ensuring the safety of people and assets has become more crucial than ever. The demand for security solutions that are robust, adaptable, and capable of growing with organisational needs is at an all-time high. Access control systems are integral to modern security strategies, providing essential tools to regulate and monitor who can enter specific areas or access sensitive resources.

As businesses and institutions face increasing pressure to provide both strong security and streamlined operations, ZKTeco’s latest offerings (available from the Elvey Group) address both needs. The F35, SpeedFace V4L Pro, ProMA, and UHF Pro + Pro Controller offer unprecedented flexibility, security, and ease of use, while the integration with ZKBio CVSecurity and ZKBio Time Software makes it possible to manage access control and employee attendance seamlessly from any location.

F35 with multi-modal authentication

The F35 is a compact access control terminal designed to meet the demands of modern businesses looking for security solutions in a small form factor. The F35 combines fingerprint recognition, RFID card, and PIN code authentication, offering security and flexibility in one compact device.

It boasts a high-speed fingerprint scanner with sub-second recognition time and advanced encryption for secure data storage. With its ability to integrate with ZKBio CVSecurity – ZKTeco’s cloud-based security platform – the F35 can be managed remotely, providing real-time monitoring and control across multiple locations.

SpeedFace V4L Pro face recognition

The SpeedFace V4L Pro uses AI-powered facial recognition to provide fast authentication, recognising faces in less than a second, even in challenging lighting conditions or high-traffic environments. It is designed for organisations requiring high-level security with minimal user interaction.

Its multi-modal authentication options include fingerprint, QR code scanning, and facial recognition, all within a single terminal. The device’s anti-spoofing technology ensures that only legitimate individuals are granted access, providing an added layer of security by preventing fraudulent attempts such as 3D face spoofing.

The SpeedFace V4L Pro incorporates temperature scanning and mask detection features, helping organisations ensure the health and safety of employees and visitors, while maintaining a seamless access control experience.

ProMA intelligent access control management platform

ProMA is a comprehensive, all-in-one access control and management system, integrating hardware such as the F35 and SpeedFace V4L Pro into a centralised management system that enables real-time monitoring, access permissions, and event logs across multiple locations.

The ProMA platform uses cloud technology to simplify the management of access control systems. It allows security administrators to remotely control and monitor access points, receive alerts for suspicious activities, and generate reports, all from a centralised dashboard. The platform’s scalability makes it an ideal solution for small and large enterprises with multi-site operations.

Its seamless integration with ZKBio CVSecurity and ZKBio Time Software allows organisations to merge access control, time attendance, and visitor management into a single system.

Long-range access control

ZKTeco’s UHF Pro and Pro Controller represent a solution for large-scale access control applications. The UHF Pro uses Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID technology to provide long-range access control, allowing users to enter facilities without scanning their cards. This feature is ideal for environments such as gates, parking lots, and high-traffic areas, where speed and efficiency are paramount. When paired with the Pro Controller, which manages multiple UHF access points, the system offers centralised management and control, ensuring that businesses can monitor access throughout their facilities in real time. This system is fully compatible with ZKBio CVSecurity for cloud-based monitoring and ZKBio Time Software for time and attendance tracking, providing a complete solution for large enterprises with expansive or remote facilities.

Cloud-based security solution

To further enhance the functionality of its access control hardware, ZKTeco has integrated its devices with ZKBio CVSecurity, a cloud-based security platform. This solution allows businesses to manage access control systems across multiple locations from a single interface, providing centralised control and real-time monitoring. Administrators can remotely access data, configure devices, and generate reports, improving operational efficiency and response times.

It offers a scalable solution that can grow with an organisation’s needs, providing flexibility for businesses of all sizes. The platform’s integration with AI-driven analytics also enables predictive insights and advanced reporting features, helping companies make data-driven decisions to enhance security protocols.

Streamlining time and attendance management

Besides access control, ZKBio Time Software integrates with ZKTeco’s access control devices to manage time and attendance. This software enables businesses to track employee working hours, manage shift schedules, and automate payroll processes – all from a central system.

Combining access control and time management, ZKTeco’s solutions provide businesses with a unified platform that increases productivity, reduces administrative overhead, and ensures accurate attendance data. The system’s cloud-based architecture allows managers to access real-time data from any location, making it a powerful tool for managing remote teams or multiple locations.

“From boosting security with touchless access to streamlining operations through real-time monitoring and simplifying workforce management with automated time tracking, ZKTeco provides a smart, all-in-one solution for today’s security challenges,” says Siresen Naidoo, Product Manager at the Elvey Group.
