ZKTeco MB10-VL Facial Recognition Terminal

ZKTeco MB10-VL Facial Recognition Terminal

ZKTeco MB10-VL Facial Recognition Terminal represents a significant advancement in biometric security technology, combining visible light facial recognition with multi-modal authentication capabilities. This Linux-based hybrid terminal addresses modern security requirements while prioritizing hygiene through completely touchless operation, making it particularly valuable in post-pandemic workplace environments.

Innovative Visible Light Facial Recognition Technology

Advanced Detection and Recognition Capabilities

The MB10-VL utilizes ZKTeco’s proprietary Visible Light Facial Recognition technology, which operates effectively in standard lighting conditions without requiring specialized infrared illumination. The system recognizes individuals from distances between 30cm to 50cm, automatically initiating the authentication process when a human face enters the detection zone.

Recognition Performance Features:

• Sub-second facial recognition speed (≤1s processing time)
• 1MP binocular camera system for enhanced depth perception
• Wide pose angle acceptance tolerance through deep learning algorithms
• Automatic operation triggered by face detection proximity sensors

Anti-Spoofing Security Mechanisms

Advanced anti-spoofing algorithms protect against sophisticated attack vectors including printed photographs, video displays, and three-dimensional mask attempts. The deep learning framework continuously analyzes facial characteristics to distinguish between legitimate users and spoofing attempts, ensuring robust security in high-risk environments.

Multi-Modal Biometric Authentication

Comprehensive Verification Methods

The terminal supports three distinct authentication modes that can be used independently or in combination to meet diverse security requirements. Face recognition serves as the primary touchless method, while fingerprint and password options provide backup authentication paths.

• Facial Recognition: Touchless operation with visible light technology
• Fingerprint Authentication: ZKFinger V10.0 algorithm supporting 500 templates
• Password Entry: Numeric keypad for traditional PIN-based access

Biometric Algorithm Integration

The MB10-VL incorporates ZKTeco’s ZKLiveFace V3.5 facial recognition engine alongside the proven ZKFinger V10.0 fingerprint algorithm. This dual-algorithm approach ensures reliable authentication across different user populations and environmental conditions.

Hardware Architecture and Performance

Linux-Based Processing Platform

The terminal operates on a Linux foundation powered by a 1GHz dual-core CPU with 256MB RAM and 256MB flash storage. This robust hardware configuration ensures responsive performance while supporting advanced biometric processing algorithms and network communication protocols.

Display and User Interface

A 2.8-inch TFT color display provides clear visual feedback during authentication attempts and system administration tasks. The intuitive interface guides users through the authentication process while displaying system status information and access control messages.

Technical Specifications:

• Face template capacity: 100 individuals
• Fingerprint template capacity: 500 individuals
• Transaction log storage: 50,000 records
• Operating temperature range: 0°C to 45°C
• Humidity tolerance: 20% to 80% relative humidity
