Technical Features

• At the advice of trusted security consultant Myles Cross from Cross Company Inc., McDonald’s selected ZKTeco USA biometric InBio door kits. Mr. Cross recommended the use of biometrics over popular RFID systems because no different than metal keys, RFID cards can also be easily shared amongst unauthorized employees. It didn’t make sense spending money replacing a flawed security system (i.e. lock ‘n key) with a slightly less-flawed security system (i.e. RFID cards). McDonald’s needed a security solution in which unauthorized users are prevented access to the food cooler. The inBio door kits include an InBio door access control panel (enclosed inside a metal enclosure with power supply) and FR1200 fingerprint + RFID card readers. The combination fingerprint + RFID provides an added layer of security (2-factor authentication) while also ensuring those authorized employees with difficult to read fingerprints can still access the food cooler.

• InBio panels come in 1, 2 and 4-door configurations. McDonalds liked the flexibility of having a 1-door option because it didn’t force them to purchase unused capacity. McDonald’s also liked the InBio which is installed inside a secured room. Since the FR1200 fingerprint reader mounted beside the cooler door isn’t actually connected to the door lock, even if the FR1200 is vandalized or forcibly removed from the wall, still there is no way to compromise the door lock.

• Security consultant Myles Cross commented “the ZKTeco USA inBio security system has been operating in McDonald’s Jackson MS restaurants for years without a single problem. The reduction in food theft was immediate. The resulting cost-savings paid for the system the first month I installed it. The system also acts as an excellent deterrent against food theft. Employees are now conscious that management is aware of any unethical behavior going on at the restaurant.”

Function Description

• InBio carries out the matching of fingerprints on the panels. The FR Series of readers transmit fingerprint templates to InBio via RS-485 for fast and accurate matching with templates stored in a data-base. InBio controllers install easily on your network and support both TCP/IP and RS-485 communication. Auto-discovery tool allows setting and modication of network parameters directly and easily.

• InBio controller firmware can be upgraded in the field. Stores up to 3,000 fingerprint templates, 30,000 card users, and up to 100,000 events and transactions. Controller is backed up in real-time in on-board SD card. Data is preserved if power is lost. InBio continues to opperate if network conection is interrupted. Along with relay contacts for controlling door locks, easily programmable auxilary relays can be used for additional control and interface to lights, alarms, annunciators, intrusion detection panels, or even extra locking devices or gate controllers.

• InBio controllers come in three sizes to suit project needs and reduce the cost of unused capacity. 1-door, 2-door, and 4-door models can be mixed and matched in an optimized system architecture. Anti-Passback, First-Card Opening, Multi-Card Opening, Duress Password Entry, and Auxilary Input/Output Linkages are built into controller firmware.

• Free SDK is available for integrators and OEM’s to integrate the InBio controllers with their or existing security or personnel management applications. Upon request, ZK can also customize InBio firmware to meet any custom requirements.

• The ZK4500 is a fingerprint reader which offers high stability and excellent performance, it captures fingerprint images and uploads to computers via USB interface. It supports Windows 2000 / XP / 2003 / Vista / 7 / 8 (32/64 bit). Developer with SDK is provided which is able to integrate hardware into own system. The device is widely used in social insurance, public security, time & attendance, fingerprint encryption, embedded system and other fields of applications.

• FR1200, a fingerprint reader with RS485 communication interface works with biometric access controllers and fingerprint standalone access control, including inBIO series controllers, F8 and so on. It offers the function of capturing and transferring fingerprint samples to access control panel. With its IP65 rated rugged structure, FR1200 offers extra durability in all weather conditions including outdoor environments.
