List of Devices Compatible with Biosensei
Before connecting your hardware, it is fundamental to know if it is "Cloud Ready". In this article, we explain Biosensei's modern architecture and list the tested and compatible models.
What is Biosensei?
Biosensei is the cloud operating system that modernizes your access control. We replace the old software that forces you to have servers under the desk, pay for licenses, and fight with complex network configurations.
Biosensei converts your existing biometric hardware into smart IoT devices, manageable from anywhere.
Connection Architecture: Goodbye to local connection and VPN
The main difference lies in how data travels. Biosensei uses the ADMS (Push Protocol), the modern standard for cloud-device communication.
Why is this method better?
- No Public IPs or VPNs: The ZKTeco device works like a cellphone: it initiates the secure connection to our cloud (
api.biosensei.io). You don't need to open dangerous ports in your firewall. - Bank-Grade Security: All communication travels encrypted via HTTPS.
- "Always-On" Synchronization: If the internet cuts out, the device keeps working and saves data. When the connection returns, it automatically "pushes" all history to the cloud.
Compatibility Table
The golden rule is simple: If the device has ADMS function, it is compatible with Biosensei.
Below, we list the most common models on the market (manufactured from 2014 onwards) that support the ZKFinger v10.0 fingerprint algorithm and Push protocol.
