Access control is an important part of security. More and more, people are looking for advanced, cutting-edge access control solutions to meet their security and operational needs. In this regard, ZKTeco’s InBioPC-800 Professional Primary Controller offers an access control solution that is highly secure, scalable and integrative.
What is the InBioPC-800
The InBioPC-800 is ZKTeco’s primary controller. It is armed with powerful technical capabilities including a Dual Core 1.0GHz processor, 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM, and support for high-speed TCP/IP communication, with an onboard webserver accessible via Wi-Fi. The InBioPC-800 can also manage up to eight DE-10 PoE door control units, each of which functions as an I/O interface for door hardware and readers and supports both Wiegand and RS485 readers, providing flexibility in reader selection and installation.
Significant improvement over previous systems
The InBioPC-800 redefines access control by introducing a solution that’s far superior than conventional systems. In particular, conventional solutions require that each sub-controller get its own power supply, making installation costly, inefficient and time-consuming. The InBioPC-800 addresses this challenge by adapting PoE or power-over-Ethernet, where power is delivered over the same Ethernet cable.
“This innovation eliminates the need for sub-controllers to have individual power supplies, which is a significant improvement over previous system. The InBioPC-800 can power up to eight DE-10 sub-controllers directly through a single PSE-enabled connection, simplifying installation, reducing costs, and improving overall system efficiency,” said Jeff Yang, Product Director of ZKTeco. “A corporate office managing access to eight doors, for example, can deploy the InBioPC-800 and DE-10 door units with minimal wiring, cutting installation time in half compared to traditional systems.”
Benefits for users
The InBioPC-800 combines various benefits for users, offering ease of installation and central management.
Centralized intelligence
The InBioPC-800 acts as the central intelligence hub in the access control system. It handles all core processing, authentication decisions, and data storage. This centralized intelligence approach streamlines data analysis, allows for more effective threat detection, enhances response capabilities and ensures consistent execution of security policies.
Advanced authentication options
The InBioPC-800 supports a wide range of authentication technologies. These include biometrics (fingerprint readers), RFID cards, passwords, and dynamic QR codes. Whether the end user organization opens the door with the touch of a finger or the scan of a QR code, the InBioPC-800 can do it for them. This also helps users seeking a hybrid system that combines legacy Wiegand readers with advanced biometric and QR code solutions for a gradual transition to modern access technologies.
Ease of deployment
As mentioned, the InBioPC-800 utilizes PoE to deliver power to the sub-controllers via the same networking cable. This eliminates the need for complex wiring and significantly reduces installation time and cost.
High-security standards
The InBioPC-800 is designed with cybersecurity in mind. With support for advanced encryption methods such as HTTP/HTTPS, SSH, AES256, and TLS 2.0., the InBioPC-800 ensures that data at rest and in motion are well protected.
“Increasing reliance on networked systems has made security vulnerabilities a concern. The InBioPC-800 employs state-of-the-art encryption and secure communication protocols to mitigate these risks. As an example, a financial institution using the InBioPC-800 can ensure that sensitive access data is protected against interception or tampering,” Yang said.
Future Scalability
Scalability is important as it enables the user to easily add to their system should they decide to expand in the future. The InBioPC-800’s modular design allows users to expand their system as their security needs grow, making it a long-term investment. “For example, a university campus with multiple entry points can easily scale its access control system by adding DE-10 units without overhauling existing infrastructure,” Yang said. In addition, the system architecture aligns with modern IT and building management infrastructure and uses Ethernet-based communication and power delivery, making future connectivity easier.
Highly integrative
The InBioPC-800 is highly integrative, making it more powerful than conventional systems. Many legacy systems lack the integrative capability to connect with other security systems or building management solutions. Not so with the InBioPC-800, which can connect with the ZKBio CVSecurity software to enable features like global linkage, fire alarm integration, and anti-tailgating. It can also interact with HVAC systems, lighting, and CCTV for a unified building management experience. The users, then, gets the benefits of enhanced security, where integration with fire alarms and surveillance ensures a coordinated response during emergencies; improved operational efficiency, where centralized control over access and building systems can reduce management complexity; and energy savings, where lights, HVAC and other energy-related devices can turn on and off based on occupancy of the building.
Who can benefit most from the solution
The InBioPC-800 is ideal for anyone needing access control to meet their security and management needs. But it can especially benet the following types of organizations:
Corporate offices: InBioPC-800 can help corporate office users with managing access across multiple floors, entry points, and restricted areas with centralized control;
Educational institutions: Securing campuses, dormitories, and research facilities – while accommodating large user populations – can be made even more effective with InBioPC-800;
Healthcare facilities: Compliance with strict security regulations for sensitive areas like pharmacies and patient records can be met with the InBioPC-800;
Government facilities: The InBioPC-800 ensures superb protection for high-security environments where centralized control and advanced authentication are critical;
Retail and hospitality: InBioPC-800 can be leveraged to manage staff entry, secure stockrooms, and provide seamless access for authorized personnel.
