Overview

About the COSEC ARGO FACE210M

The Matrix COSEC ARGO FACE210M is a face-based door controller from Matrix's COSEC ARGO range. Its deep-learning face recognition identifies a person among 200,000 face templates in under a second, with fake-face detection and anti-spoofing, at 0.3 to 1.2 m.

Staff can also use a MIFARE / DESFire card, a PIN, their phone over BLE or a QR code. It controls the door directly through its own lock relay, exit switch and door-sense inputs, connects over Ethernet with PoE or dual-band Wi-Fi, and is rated IP65 and IK06. AIVIZ supplies and installs the COSEC ARGO FACE210M in Dubai and across the UAE.
