The ZKTeco QR500 is a combined QR code and 13.56 MHz Mifare reader for doors that need to accept phone-based credentials alongside cards. Wiegand, RS485 and USB outputs make it a clean fit for visitor management, ticketed entry, gym phone passes and contractor sign-in. Reads QR, PDF417 and Data Matrix from both printed badges and phone screens.

Description

The QR500 is the reader buyers spec when the site has moved (or is moving) to phone-based credentials but still needs to support Mifare cards for staff. It earns its place at the door by reading QR codes off a phone screen reliably, including dimmed screens and protective glass.

Where it actually fits in NZ

Gyms with app-based membership: Members scan a rolling QR from the gym app instead of carrying a fob. zkbio cvaccess validates the code against an active membership.
Hotels and serviced apartments: Guests receive a QR via email at check-in and use it for room and amenity access — no plastic key cards.
Visitor management at office reception: Pre-registered visitors get a QR pass on their phone, valid for the meeting window only.
Ticketed venues and events: Scan printed or in-app tickets at the gate, with pre-loaded QR allowlists.
Contractor and delivery sign-in: Contractors get a one-day QR after induction, voided automatically at end-of-day.
Unmanned retail and lockers: Customers unlock a click-and-collect locker with the QR from their order email.

Specifying it

QR formats: QR Code, PDF417, Data Matrix and most common 1D/2D symbologies. Covers nearly all visitor-management and ticketing platforms.
Card support: 13.56 MHz Mifare alongside QR. Staff keep their existing cards.
Outputs: Wiegand for traditional access controllers, RS485 for zkbio cvaccess integrations, USB for desktop sign-in stations.
