ENVIROMUX-FACS Fingerprint and Card Reader

The ENVIROMUX-FACS from NTI – Biometric High-Security with Smart Management

In a digital world where unauthorized access to server rooms or sensitive areas can have catastrophic consequences, the ENVIROMUX-FACS access control system from NTI sets a new benchmark for precision, convenience, and compliance.

This multifunctional device combines a high-precision optical fingerprint reader with RFID support for cards or key fobs, identifying authorized users in just one second with a single touch. It stores up to 600 fingerprint templates and logs 15,000 access events, making it perfect for medium to large teams.

Imagine a data center operating in multiple shifts: employees scan their finger, the system verifies credentials in real time, grants access, and logs the timestamp. If an unauthorized attempt occurs, an alarm sounds, a camera activates, and the administrator receives an SNMP alert — intrusions are stopped before they begin, and ISO 27001-compliant access logs are automatically maintained.

The versatility of the ENVIROMUX-FACS makes it the core of any modern access solution. With a selectable 26‑ or 34‑bit Wiegand interface, it integrates seamlessly into existing infrastructures, while serial (RS232/RS485), USB, and Ethernet interfaces provide flexible communication options.

The included software suite features access control and attendance management modules: import user data, set schedules, generate reports, and monitor activity in real time. Its IP65-rated and tamper-proof design ensures reliable operation even in challenging environments, withstanding temperatures from –10 °C to +60 °C and up to 90 % non-condensing humidity.

A practical example: in a pharmaceutical facility with cleanrooms, the FACS manages access to lab servers. Only certified personnel with valid fingerprints or RFID cards (optional) can enter; all events are logged for audit purposes. During a fire alarm, an emergency contact triggers automatic door release — ensuring safety and compliance while reducing manual time-tracking costs by up to 20 %.

What truly distinguishes the ENVIROMUX-FACS is its blend of biometric technology and intelligent network integration. Visual and audio indicators provide immediate feedback, while its alarm, door, and emergency button contacts allow full integration with ENVIROMUX alert systems.

The management software enables remote configuration via TCP/IP, letting you add or deactivate users from anywhere. CE, FCC, and RoHS certifications highlight its quality and reliability. Consider a colocation center scenario: customers receive individual RFID cards, technicians use fingerprint access, and every entry is linked with video monitoring. Access logs are exported weekly, and lost cards are deactivated with a single click — no locksmiths, no vulnerabilities. These features enhance client trust, reduce liability, and easily pay for themselves through avoided incidents within months.
