The Inbio two door panel controls a pair of access controlled doors from one unit, and it is the version to choose when either door needs fingerprint entry. It takes fingerprint templates from the reader over RS485 and matches them at the panel, which the C3 range does not do. Each door gets its own reader and its own rules, so one panel can run a main entrance everyone uses and a stock room only supervisors can reach.
Specifications
| Doors controlled | Two, each with independent rules. Drop to the single door version for one, or step up to four doors. |
|---|---|
| Biometric support | Accepts the fingerprint reader over RS485, with templates matched at the panel rather than the door. |
| Other credentials | Card and fob readers work too, and you can mix them across the two doors: fingerprint on the secure room, card on the main entrance. |
| Access rules | Set separately per door and per person, so someone can have the front door all week and the stock room only on their shift. |
| Audit trail | Every entry is recorded against a named person and a named door, so you can answer who went where and when. |
What you will need
A reader for each door you are controlling, either a fingerprint reader or an RFID reader for cards and fobs. Then a lock per door such as a mag lock, a push to exit and break glass for each secure side, and a power supply.
Before you install biometrics
Fingerprint data is special category data under UK GDPR, so you need a lawful basis and usually a data protection impact assessment before rolling it out, and staff need an alternative if they object. This panel supports card and fob readers alongside fingerprint for exactly that reason. Our guide to UK GDPR and workforce data covers what you need in place, and our data security page explains how the data is stored.
Inbio or C3?
Both ranges come in one, two and four door versions and do the same core job. Inbio is the one to pick if any door needs fingerprint entry. If everyone on site will use a card or fob, the C3 two door panel is the cheaper and simpler choice.
