AD64 Door Reader with Keypad

Introducing our newest fourth-generation door reader, the AD64. Like our recently announced fourth-gen AD34 reader, the AD64 offers improved credential scan performance, Bluetooth Intent Unlock, and premium industrial design. Additionally, this is our first reader that includes a keypad, offering organizations the option to use 6- to 14-digit PIN codes as an additional form of access credential, or as two-factor authentication for added security.

Mobile NFC on Android Devices

Verkada access control users with Android devices now have the ability to unlock doors using mobile NFC technology. NFC’s short scan range allows for a stable and secure connection. Mobile NFC also allows administrators to choose whether to require that a phone be unlocked before a user is allowed to badge in, creating an additional layer of authentication. Door unlock using Android NFC will be included in the Mobile NFC Credentials license, and is supported by Verkada’s AD33 and newer readers.

Employee Badges in Apple Wallet

In addition to physical and Bluetooth credentials, Verkada now supports mobile NFC credentials via Apple Wallet. With badges in Apple Wallet, employees can simply tap to unlock with their iPhone or Apple Watch.

For added security, organizations can require the mobile device to be unlocked when badging into certain doors, thus leveraging Apple’s powerful security features like Face ID for two-factor authentication. Just like other credential types, badges in Apple Wallet can be easily managed in Verkada Command and synced with SSO providers.

Auto-Deactivate Unused Credentials

Organizations can now set up automatic deactivation for physical credentials after a set period of inactivity. This can protect against unauthorized access with a lost or stolen credential.

Admins can choose to receive an alert when a credential is auto-deactivated and/or when a deactivated credential is used. They can also view a list of credentials associated with each user and when they were last used.

AD34 Door Reader: Magically Simple, Effortlessly Secure

The AD34 Door Reader supports a wide array of card types, including both low-frequency proximity cards and high-frequency NFC credentials such as Verkada DESFire EV3 badges and Apple Wallet.

The AD34 also introduces a powerful new Bluetooth unlock experience: Intent Unlock. With Intent Unlock, organizations can prevent unintentional unlocks by requiring both proximity-based Bluetooth authentication and precise unlock intent in front of the reader–such as a hand wave. Admins can customize the unlock trigger to provide the right level of security and convenience for each reader.

Tamper and Low Battery Alerts

Access control unit (ACU) tamper alerts allow organizations to monitor the ACU for unwanted tampering. The alerts utilize a switch on the ACU’s enclosure door to determine if the door has been opened.

Door Page Redesign

We’ve given the door page an end-to-end overhaul to surface the most critical information. Improvements include separating the unlock button from the override button, streamlining the look and feel of the Door, Access, and Schedules tabs without context cameras, and building new scrubbing functionality into door events.
