Suprema BioStation 3 Facial Recognition

Product Description

The Suprema BioStation 3 sets a new standard in access control, delivering a compact, feature-rich facial recognition experience suited to organizations of every size. Despite being 47% smaller than its predecessor, the FaceStation F2, it packs the widest variety of features in Suprema's lineup — combining NPU-optimized AI facial authentication, multiple contactless credentials, and rugged IP65/IK06 protection into a single touchscreen terminal that's easy to install anywhere, from small offices to massive enterprise buildings.

Key Features

NPU-optimized AI facial recognition — delivers the highest standard in facial authentication accuracy and speed, accurately recognizing moving faces in high-traffic areas within 0.2 seconds
Reliable in any lighting condition — AI algorithm performs accurately in bright, dim, or backlit environments, built on over 20 years of Suprema's biometric database and research
Multiple contactless credentials — supports facial recognition, mobile access (NFC, BLE), QR/barcode, and RFID cards, eliminating the need for physical card issuance
Dual-frequency RFID support — reads 125kHz EM/HID Prox and 13.56MHz MIFARE, MIFARE Plus, DESFire/EV1/EV2/EV3, FeliCa, and iCLASS SE/SR/Seos
Facial spoofing protection — detects impersonation attempts, including masks, photos, and other spoofing methods
Recognizes users wearing masks, glasses, hats, and other accessories — dynamic face templates adapt to changing appearances
47% size reduction vs. FaceStation F2 — compact, slim design compatible with virtually any door type and size
Rugged IP65 and IK06 rating — suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation, weatherproof and vandal-resistant
PoE+ and Wi-Fi connectivity — power and network over a single cable, or wireless connection to BioStar 2 software
VoIP intercom connectivity — enables real-time communication with visitors directly from the terminal
GDPR-ready and ISO/IEC 27001 certified — strong data protection standards for biometric and personal user data.
