Step into a new age of biometric access control systems
The smarter way to open the door is simply with your finger, without a key, smartphone, code, or card. It’s impossible to lock yourself out, when your finger is always at hand. The ekey system provides convenient access for the whole family. The ekey fingerprint scanner learns with every use, and automatically recognises the growth of children’s fingers. Dirt or minor injuries on the finger are not a problem.
Anyone building or renovating a house is faced with many decisions. Often, not all wishes can be fulfilled immediately. This is not a problem for the ekey system, since functions and devices can be added at a later date. Users can be stored, temporarily disabled, or deleted:
- You do not have to determine the scope of your access control system in advance
- Functions, users and devices can be added flexibly
- You can control different functions with different fingers
Maximum security
For its products, ekey guarantees the very highest standard of security against misuse and unauthorised access to the access control system. Only authorised persons can open the door with the ekey fingerprint scanner. The ekey fingerprint scanner is 1,000 times more secure than the four-digit numeric code of an ATM card.
