    Tamper protection

Add the access reader to an intrusion detection zone to set the zone alarm to better respond to emergencies.

    Extended functionality

    Go beyond access control with the Reader Pro 2's extended functionalities. Support hybrid work policies and optimize spaces by using the reader as a check-in and check-out device.
