Qscan
QR and barcode readers
Let visitors, guests and drivers in with the code on their phone or ticket. Qscan readers decode QR codes, driver’s licenses and over 30 barcode types, and send the data straight to your access control panel or PC.
Programmable formatting picks out just the part of the code your system needs and sends it the way the panel expects. Add proximity or smart card reading to the same reader, so one device handles both cards and codes.
