What the ZKTeco C3100 Delivers
Secure and Simple
Despite its compact size, the C3100 provides professional-grade access control. Once installed, it works with RFID readers to control door locks and gather entry event data. It’s ideal for single-door installations—no overkill, no unnecessary complexity.
Flexible Integration
The controller can interface with biometric systems or card readers through standard Wiegand interfaces. It works with ZKTeco’s software and can integrate with third-party access management systems using RS485 or TCP/IP, enabling centralized monitoring and control.
Scalable Architecture
Install a C3100 on each door for controlled access across multiple points—each unit works independently yet reports to a central host station. This makes scaling from one to dozens of doors simple.
Safety Features
Built-in safety logic includes automatic door open alarms, lock time-out, and anti-tamper detection. These keep staff informed and enhance physical security protocols.
Installation and Support
The C3100 is designed for easy installation. Prefabricated terminal blocks connect to locks, sensors, and exit buttons. At Phonex Technologies Kenya, we provide full setup services—and we pre-test every unit before deployment.
