ZKAccess Releases BioCam300

  • Mar 06, 2015

ZKAccess, a provider of biometric and RFID solutions, is pleased to announce the release of its BioCam300. BioCam300 is a highly cost-effective and affordable IP-based stand-alone access control camera which combines long-range facial recognition, video surveillance and time & attendance, all in a single device. BioCam300 can operate stand-alone (no computer nor panel needed) for quick and easy installations requiring no special wiring, and can also be tied into any existing 3rd party Wiegand panel for greater security. BioCam300 unlocks doors upon positive face recognition once authorized users walk within 12 feet of it. Its built-in infra-red illuminators ensure accurate face recognition even in low-light conditions.

"Access Control is a very crowded, commoditized space these days,” noted Larry Reed, CEO, ZKAccess. “We find dealers are primarily challenged with preserving profit margins, differentiating their company and reducing training time on new products. BioCam300 addresses all these concerns since it’s in limited distribution and there are no competing products. BioCam300 installs no differently than any traditional keypad or card-based access control system. It connects directly to the door lock or any 3rd party Wiegand panel. BioCam300 also uses the same power and wiring as traditional systems. The only difference with Biocam300 is its face reader, which takes all of 30 seconds to learn and operate, so there’s practically no learning curve at all."

In addition to providing 100% hands-free door access, other features of the BioCam300 include:

  • 400 face capacity (will exceed 1,000 faces in next release);
  • 100K transactions storage;
  • Fast throughput with 1 - 2 seconds verification time;
  • Dual HD CMOS cameras with audio output and alarm output;  
  • 7” LCD display incorporated with the HD IP camera;
  • Access control with built-in relays for door locks and inputs for REX and door contact; and
  • HD IP video recording which supports a 32GB SD Card or external NVR.

This latest offering from ZKAccess represents a new security product category - long-range face recognition and access control.

  • The Evolution of IP Camera Intelligence

    As the 30th anniversary of the IP camera approaches in 2026, it is worth reflecting on how far we have come. The first network camera, launched in 1996, delivered one frame every 17 seconds—not impressive by today’s standards, but groundbreaking at the time. It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
