Description
The FA10M isn’t a finished product ? it’s the face recognition engine that goes inside one. NZ kiosk builders, custom lock manufacturers and bespoke terminal integrators specify it when they need to put face recognition in their own hardware without licensing a full algorithm stack from scratch.
What you actually get in the module
- 2 MP camera: Visible light plus near-infrared sensors for accurate face capture in mixed lighting.
- On-board algorithm chip: Face template extraction and matching done on the module ? your host application doesn’t need to ship a face SDK with every unit.
- Encryption chip: Templates and verification operations happen in a secured silicon enclave, simplifying compliance for finance and government deployments.
- USB 2.0 interface: Plug straight into a host SBC, x86 industrial PC or Android tablet ? no proprietary bus required.
- Cross-platform SDK: Windows, Android and Linux ? covers any practical embedded host stack.
- Compact form: Small enough to fit visitor management kiosks, smart lockers, parcel pickup boxes and slim access terminals.
Where NZ integrators use it
- Visitor management kiosk builders: Tablet-based reception kiosks that need face capture and matching for pre-registered visitors.
- Smart locker manufacturers: Click-and-collect, gym lockers, courier pickup ? face unlocks the right compartment.
- Custom POS and ATM integrators: High-value transactions verified against the cardholder’s face on the device itself.
- Industrial control panel manufacturers: Operator login on factory HMIs without typing passwords on shop-floor screens.
- Bespoke time-and-attendance hardware: Industry-specific T&A terminals (forestry, agriculture) where the off-the-shelf ZKBio terminals don’t fit the workflow.
- Government identity proof-of-concept hardware: Research and pilot projects evaluating face biometrics for citizen-facing services.
How it differs from a full ZKTeco terminal
A SpeedFace V5L or G4 terminal is a finished access-control device ? case, screen, software stack, all included. The FA10M is the camera-and-algorithm subsystem extracted from those products and supplied as a component. Specify the FA10M only when you’re building your own hardware; specify a SpeedFace, FaceDepot or G-series terminal when you’re installing into a building.
