Fingerprint and card models
DS-K1A8503EF (₹4,500): plain attendance
The entry model. A 2.4-inch screen, TCP/IP networking, fingerprint recognition in under a second in 1:N mode, and reports downloaded on a USB flash drive. It handles up to 32 normal shifts and six attendance statuses (check in, check out, break in, break out, overtime in, overtime out), so it suits shops and offices with shift and break rules. The listing is clear about its limits: it is for attendance only, not access control, and it has no battery backup. Stored data stays safe in a power cut, but run it on an inverter or UPS if you want punching to continue.
K1T8003 (₹4,900): attendance plus a door
For ₹400 more you get interfaces for a lock, exit button, door contact and tamper, so it can open an office door as well as take attendance. It reads EM cards up to 3.5 cm, has an optical fingerprint module with 1:1 and 1:N matching, and a self-service report feature that calculates attendance on the machine and exports reports by USB, with no PC needed. Size is 140 x 155 x 30 mm, silver, wall mounted.
DS-K1A802EF (₹6,499): bigger staff strength
Three times the capacity of the 8503EF: 3,000 users with up to 10 fingerprints each, 3,000 cards and 1,50,000 attendance records, on a 2.8-inch screen. It supports registering fingerprints from the terminal to the software remotely, configurable shifts and holiday schedules, and automatic reports. Choose it for factories, schools and hospitals with a large roll.
Face recognition models
DS-K1T320EFWX (₹6,999): face, finger and card in one
The most flexible model for the money. It recognises a face in under 0.2 seconds at 0.3 to 1.5 m with more than 99% accuracy and face anti-spoofing, and still takes fingerprints and EM cards for staff who prefer them. It has wired LAN and Wi-Fi, a 2 MP camera with white supplement light, a built-in access controller with lock, exit button and door contact connections, and works from -10 to 55 °C. The screen is a small 2.4-inch display.
DS-K1T343EWX (₹13,500): touch-free face terminal
A slim 118.4 x 118.4 x 21.8 mm terminal with a 4.3-inch capacitive touch screen and a 2 MP dual-lens camera. It stores 1,500 faces, 3,000 cards and 1,50,000 events, recognises faces in under 0.2 seconds at 0.3 to 1.5 m with anti-spoofing, and has a 125 kHz EM card reader. For doors it has a lock output, exit button and door contact inputs, plus Wiegand and RS-485 for a secondary reader. The 12 V adapter is in the box. It is listed for indoor use, -10 to 40 °C.
