Overview

About the COSEC ARGO FACE300E

The Matrix COSEC ARGO FACE300E is a biometric access control and time attendance device with a 7-inch IPS touch screen. Matrix's deep-learning face recognition works from 0.3 to 2 m and from 1.2 to 2.2 m in height, in light from 10 to 30,000 lux, with passive liveness detection using IR and texture analysis.

It stores 100,000 users, 200,000 faces and 200,000 cards, recognises up to 4 people at 2 m in group mode, and reads EM proximity cards, PIN, BLE mobile and QR codes. Gigabit Ethernet with PoE+, dual-band Wi-Fi, a built-in door lock relay and IP66 protection make it suitable for busy entrances. AIVIZ supplies and installs the COSEC ARGO FACE300E in Dubai and across the UAE.
