QR Code Readers Compatible with Access Control Panels

Readers supporting custom QR formats for use with access control systems.

Updated this week

Overview

Envoy integrates with many different access control systems, making it easy to provide a seamless and secure visitor experience. If your ACS uses QR codes, these can be sent directly to visitors after signing in with Envoy.

QR codes provided for visitors for use with CCure 9000.

QR codes can also be printed on badges, if enabled.

Supported Readers

The following QR code readers can be configured to read 12-character access tokens in the format FFFFNNNNNNNN, where:

  • FFFF is the facility code (4 digits, zero-padded)

  • NNNNNNNN is the card number (8 digits, zero-padded)

These readers support integration with access control systems via Wiegand, OSDP, or other standard interfaces.

Hardware Selection Considerations

Before purchasing any hardware, it is important to ensure your QR code reader meets all the requirements.

  • QR Parsing: Ensure the reader allows you to split or map the FFFFNNNNNNNN format into a facility code and card number, particularly if your controller expects standard Wiegand format.

  • Controller Compatibility: Confirm that your access control panel supports the reader's output format (Wiegand 26/34/37-bit or OSDP).

  • Configuration Interface: Some readers offer web interfaces or SDKs for detailed configuration and integration.

  • Environmental Requirements: Select IP-rated models for outdoor use where necessary.
