ZKTeco MB360 Access Control Terminal – Biometric Precision Meets Modern Security
In today’s world, safeguarding restricted areas requires more than just conventional locks and PINs. Biometric access control has emerged as the standard for reliable, user‑friendly, and secure authentication. The ZKTeco MB360 is a next‑generation access control terminal that brings together facial recognition, fingerprint scanning, RFID card compatibility, and mobile credential support. That makes it ideal for corporate offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and government premises around Kenya. Zkteco MB360 Access Control
At Phonex Technologies Kenya, we provide the original MB360 with full warranty, expert installation, and professional support. This terminal is designed for modern organizations that demand security without sacrificing usability.

Deploying MB360 in Kenyan Facilities
Corporate Workspace
Guarantee secure entry to sensitive zones like server rooms, executive offices, or archives. Biometric authentication helps you eliminate shared cards and unauthorized entry.
Educational Institutions
Track staff and student access to labs, libraries, and exam venues. Face and fingerprint verification reduce misuse of identity among students or unauthorized guests.
Healthcare Facilities
Manage access to pharmacies, patient wards, and records rooms with biometric precision. Disable shared card risk with face/fingerprint authentication.
Government Buildings
Ensure secure entry to restricted areas—courts, archives, administration blocks—with authentication methods that meet high compliance standards across multiple locations.
Warehouses and Industrial Sites
Operates reliably in dusty, humid, or outdoor entry points thanks to its IP65-rated faceplate and weather-resistant housing.
Intelligent Biometric Performance
The dual-camera setup includes an infrared sensor to guarantee accurate liveness detection, helping prevent impersonation attacks with photos, videos, or synthetic fingerprints. Facial verification is completed in under 0.2 seconds, ensuring fast throughput during peak access times.
Biometric algorithms also perform well in low-light or bright-light conditions. Even under backlight, the system detects faces accurately, reduces false rejection, and ensures quick authentication.
RFID Card and Mobile Credential Options
For users who prefer card access, the MB360 also supports RFID credentials (125 kHz EM or 13.56 MHz Mifare). It can also work via Bluetooth mobile credentials, which are convenient for staff or visitors preferring smartphone-based access without physical cards.
This flexible authentication suite enables hybrid deployments across different user groups.
Durable Design for Real-World Conditions
The MB360 is built to handle both indoor and outdoor installation. The IP65-rated front panel guarantees protection from dust and splashes, while its anti-tamper alarm triggers an alert if the unit housing is forcefully opened. Slim but sturdy, this terminal fits neatly into entry pillars, gates, or wall sockets.
Even in Kenyan conditions—with humidity, dust, or temperature extremes—the MB360 retains its integrity and minimal maintenance needs.
System Integration and Reporting
ZKTeco’s access control software platforms (like ZKAccess, ZKBioSecurity, or BioTime) support seamless integration of the MB360. These platforms allow:
-
Enrollment of users via face, fingerprint, card, or mobile
-
User-group management, schedule enforcement, access policies
-
Real-time monitoring of access events
-
Fiscal-ready audit trails and compliance reporting
-
Multi-site control through centralized database
-
Backup and export to formats such as CSV, PDF
Integrated API support also allows HR, ERP, or building management systems to interface directly with the device for streamlined operations.
