PDK Reader Allows Temporary Access

QR reader PA image resized.png
January 3, 2022

ProdataKey’s QR reader offers contactless QR and barcode scanning as part of a PDK access control solution. The device is ideal for use at facilities where temporary access to restricted areas is permitted to an ever-changing group of ticketholders or guests. PDK’s API allows QR and barcodes created by third-party systems to be managed within PDK’s platform, extending the use of those solutions to physical access applications. Pre-event or guest visit, system administrators enter approved QR or barcodes into the PDK management software, individually or importing them en masse, granting holders temporary access to designated doorways, gates or turnstiles for a desired period of time. The QR reader allows the same guest passes or special VIP tickets presented to a security guard to also be used for electronic access to designated areas. Proximity cards and PIN codes can also activate the readers, allowing authorized staff and vendors to use the same security credentials they use elsewhere in the building. Hospitality workers, cleaning crews, security personnel and other employees with permissions can freely enter areas secured by the QR reader. It is designed for installation indoors and outdoors. It features rugged construction, a backlit keypad and an IP65 environmental protection rating. For added security, the device can be configured for two-factor authentication.
