ZKTeco IN01-A Fingerprint Time Attendance Terminal | TCP/IP Access Control | Built-in Battery Backup

DescriptionThe ZKTeco IN01-A is a fingerprint time attendance and access control terminal built for standalone or networked operation. It combines biometric clocking with single-door access control functionality, making it suitable for offices, warehouses, and commercial premises requiring both workforce management and basic door security.Powered by ZKTeco’s latest coreboard and user-friendly firmware, the IN01-A delivers fingerprint verification in under 0.5 seconds. The 3-inch TFT colour screen provides an intuitive interface for employee self-service queries, clock-in/out operations, and on-device administration. A built-in 2,000 mAh backup battery ensures continued operation during power failures—critical for maintaining accurate attendance records.Key FeaturesTime Attendance FunctionalityThe IN01-A is purpose-built for workforce time tracking. Standard features include work codes, automatic status switching (e.g., Clock In, Clock Out, Break), SMS notifications, and self-service query for employees to check their own attendance records. Multiple verification modes support fingerprint, card, PIN, or combination authentication.Built-in Battery BackupA 2,000 mAh internal battery maintains full operation during mains power interruptions, preventing lost attendance records and ensuring access control remains functional.Fast Fingerprint MatchingVerification completes in less than 0.5 seconds with capacity for 3,000 fingerprint templates. The device stores up to 100,000 transaction records locally.Optional RFID SupportAdd optional card modules for ID (125 kHz), MIFARE (13.56 MHz), or HID credentials, supporting up to 10,000 cards. Useful for visitors or employees who cannot enrol fingerprints.Access Control InterfaceBuilt-in terminals support direct connection to:Electric lock (fail-safe or fail-secure)Door sensor (door position monitoring)Exit button (request-to-exit)Alarm outputDoorbellWiegand Input & OutputWiegand input accepts signals from external card readers. Wiegand output enables integration with third-party access control panels when using the IN01-A as a reader-controller.Network & Software IntegrationTCP/IP connectivity enables centralised management through ZKTeco BioTime software for multi-device time attendance deployments. The optional ADMS (Automatic Data Master Server) function allows cloud-based data synchronisation. Optional Wi-Fi and GPRS modules provide flexible connectivity where wired networking is impractical.Advanced User ManagementUser IDs support alphanumeric characters (letters and numbers), accommodating existing employee ID schemes. Chip-level encryption protects firmware integrity.Software CompatibilityBioTimeThe IN01-A connects to ZKTeco BioTime software for centralised time attendance management, shift scheduling, leave management, and payroll integration across multiple terminals.ADMS (Optional)Automatic Data Master Server enables cloud-based device management and data synchronisation without dedicated server infrastructure.Webserver (Optional)Browser-based configuration and basic reporting without additional software installation.Use CasesSmall to Medium OfficesDeploy as a standalone time clock with optional door control for main entry points. Built-in battery ensures attendance records are never lost during power interruptions.Warehouses & Distribution CentresRugged enough for industrial environments with high employee throughput. Self-service query reduces administrative burden.Retail & HospitalityWork codes enable tracking of different job functions (e.g., front-of-house, kitchen, storeroom). Automatic status switching simplifies shift transitions.Multi-Site DeploymentsConnect multiple IN01-A units to BioTime software for consolidated attendance reporting and centralised user management across locations.Mounting & InstallationThe IN01-A is designed for wall mounting with the included back plate. Dimensions are 221.7 × 159.5 × 47.8 mm (L × W × D), suitable for reception areas, staff entrances, or time clock stations.Wiring RequirementsPower: 12V DC, 1.5A (adapter included)Network: RJ45 Ethernet or optional Wi-Fi/GPRSLock: Onboard relay for direct lock controlWiegand: For external readers or panel integrationPackage ContentsIN01-A terminalBack plateScrews and mounting hardwareUSB cablePower adapter
