Person Reader V3 Datasheet
Click to view: Person_Reader_Datasheet_2021.pdf
The Person Reader is the all-in-one controller, reader, biometric, camera, recorder, intercom and visitor entry device. It is now available in five models - PR-M2, PR-M3, PR-L, PR-XL, and PR-2XL - and supports low and high frequency HID Prox, MiFARE CSN, HID Bluetooth, 2-way stereo audio and SIP communication. It has a 2-D 2 MP color camera and a 3-D IR depth camera.
As a multi-biometric, multi-factor intelligent reader, it can identify a person based on their biometrics, name, card, Bluetooth credential, bar or QR code, PIN and cloud credential. This makes the Person Reader versatile, robust and accurate. It uses two biometrics, face, and voice, for more secure and convenient access. The Person Reader is simple, fast and natural to use. Just look at it, be recognized and admitted. Totally hands-free. There is also no distinctive enrollment procedure. It learns what you look like on your first arrival, and how you change over time.
As an Intercom, the Person Reader is a two-way audio/video communication device. It is SIP-based and can integrate with most intercom systems. It is deeply integrated with BluSKY's Cloud Station which enables the Person Reader to be answered from anywhere, on any device, as well as control the end devices from the same interface.
As a Visitor Entry Device, the Person Reader can be used as a self-check-in visitor station at a door, gate, security desk, reception area or loading dock. Visitors can find their pre-registered record by name, bar or QR code. The Person Reader can read and assign credentials, take photos, and check in and announce visitors. It functions in both attended or unattended modes.
As a Camera, the Person Reader can associate a photo or video with every entry attempt. Future versions will include video streaming to third-party video recorders and video and audio analytics.
In terms of price, the Person Reader starts at $2,300 allowing it to compete with much less capable identity and entry devices.

Biometric Recognition
7 Classes of Features
We will continue to add independent features because recognition should not be dependent on just one feature; as an example, people change each day and overtime in the way they look- this allows for it to be more robust. |

Applications
|
|
One Reader, Multiple Credential Options
The Person Reader is ideal for doors, turnstiles, and elevators because it can read so many different credentials in one device. The Person Reader can identify a person based on their biometrics, name, card, Bluetooth credential, barcode or QR code, PIN, and cloud credential. This enables users to present the credential that is most convenient for them at the time and even do it in a hands-free way. It is also ideal for visitors and vendors enabling frictionless guest management using barcodes or QR codes, MiFARE cards, and Bluetooth mobile credentials. The Person Reader also eliminates having to try to fit multiple readers in a small area like a turnstile or elevator. |
