Zkteco kr500bt Bluetooth Rfid Card Reader 26-bit

Product Description

The ZKTECO kr500bt is a Bluetooth-enabled RFID credential reader designed for access control applications. It reads standard 26-bit Wiegand RFID cards and also supports Bluetooth, allowing users to present a smartphone as a mobile credential via the Conekt app. The built-in Wiegand-Out port connects directly to most access control panels, making it a flexible front-end reader for new and existing systems. Licensed security installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trades that specify and install this device.

The kr500bt is suited for residential and commercial access control deployments where card-based and mobile credential flexibility is required. Typical installation points include entry doors, parking gates, turnstiles, and other controlled-access devices. The unit ships with a single-gang mounting adapter, allowing installation on standard electrical boxes or directly to most flat surfaces without additional hardware. Compatible access control panels include the ZKAccess C3 and InBio door controller series.
