The ZKTeco F18 is a classic powerhouse in the world of biometric security. Known for its iconic design and ultra-fast verification, it is the premier choice for indoor access control where aesthetics and user experience are paramount. Unlike industrial outdoor readers, the F18 features a vibrant TFT color screen that provides clear visual feedback, making it ideal for high-traffic main entrances, private studies, and executive office suites.
High-Speed Infrared Detection: Equipped with ZKTeco's high-performance infrared detection fingerprint sensor and the ZKFinger v10.0 algorithm, the F18 offers unparalleled matching speed. It can identify a user in under 1 second, ensuring zero bottlenecking even during peak hours.
TFT Color Display & Intuitive UI: The 2.4-inch color screen sets the F18 apart, displaying high-quality fingerprint images and guiding users for proper placement. This significantly reduces the false rejection rate and makes it incredibly user-friendly for children and elderly family members.
Versatile "Hybrid" Connectivity: The F18 is a networking chameleon. It supports TCP/IP and RS485 for hardwired reliability, but also features a USB-host port for manual data transfers. This makes it a perfect fit for sites where running new network cables is challenging but high-level security is still required.
Internal Security Ecosystem: Beyond simple door unlocking, the F18 supports "Anti-passback" and provides a full access control interface for 3rd-party electric locks, door sensors, exit buttons, and alarms. It serves as a comprehensive standalone controller for any high-value room.
Ideal Property Match: This is our top recommendation for Main Entrance Timber Doors, Home Offices, and Safe Rooms. While the TF1700 handles the perimeter gate, the F18 provides a more refined, "high-tech" look for the interior of a luxury home.
Performance Suitability: We suggest the F18 for homeowners who want a more visual interface. It integrates seamlessly with our ELV setups, allowing you to manage user privileges directly on the device or via centralized management software for a multi-door estate.
