Convenient Facial Recognition and Secure Entry
The i66 can authenticate registered users through facial recognition, reducing reliance on physical keys and cards. Its liveness detection helps resist certain attempts to fool the recognition system using images or videos.
Facial recognition performance depends on lighting, camera positioning, user registration, and system configuration. No biometric system should be treated as completely immune to spoofing.
Multiple Door Unlocking Options
The Fanvil i66 supports several access methods to suit different users and security requirements:
- Facial recognition for enrolled users
- Compatible RFID access cards
- PIN code entry
- QR code access
- DTMF-based door release through compatible communication systems
- Remote unlocking from supported devices or applications
The built-in relay interfaces can control compatible door-release equipment. Check the lock’s voltage and current requirements and use a suitable controller where necessary.
SIP Video Intercom for Buildings and Estates
The i66 supports SIP-based communication, allowing it to integrate with compatible IP PBX systems, indoor stations, and IP phones. This enables visitors to contact reception, security personnel, or residents before entry is granted.
ONVIF support also allows integration with compatible video surveillance systems, subject to device configuration and the features supported by the connected platform.
