Card and PIN access control is one of the most practical ways to secure a door. A user must present a valid card and, depending on the setting, enter a code, which prevents lost cards from becoming a security risk on their own. A WiFi-enabled, IP67 waterproof card and PIN reader with 2,000-user capacity brings that protection to offices, apartments, and outdoor gates while keeping management simple.
Why Card + PIN Access Control?
Cards alone are convenient but easy to share or lose. A PIN code adds a second factor that only the user knows. Card + PIN access control gives you the speed of card reading with the security of a code, which is why it remains a favorite for offices, apartment entrances, and commercial buildings.
How Card + Code Authentication Works
With a card and PIN controller, users can be enrolled in several modes:
- Card only: present a valid 125kHz EM card to unlock.
- PIN only: enter a code on the touchscreen keypad.
- Card + code: present the card and then enter the PIN for higher security.
Administrators choose the mode per user or per door, so routine entrances can stay fast while sensitive areas require both credentials.
When Card Only Is Not Enough
If a card is lost, anyone who finds it can enter a card-only door. Requiring a PIN after the card closes that gap, because the finder does not know the code. The card is immediately deactivated by the administrator, and the PIN can be changed, keeping the door secure without replacing hardware.
2,000-User Capacity for High-Traffic Doors
Capacity becomes critical as teams grow. A controller that stores 2,000 users is built for office buildings, apartment complexes, and other high-traffic locations where staff, tenants, and visitors change frequently. You spend less time managing capacity limits and more time running the building.
IP67 Waterproof Metal Design
IP67 means the controller is fully protected against dust and can survive temporary immersion in water. Combined with a metal housing, it is ready for exposed gates, lobbies, and outdoor entrances that face rain, humidity, and physical wear.
WiFi and Tuya App Remote Management
The built-in WiFi and Tuya App take the work out of day-to-day management. Instead of standing at the keypad to enroll users, you can add or remove credentials remotely, issue temporary codes, and unlock the door from your phone. This is especially valuable for properties with multiple entry points.
