Key features of the BioStation 3 Max

• Biometric terminal with AI for identity-first security.
• Ultra-fast facial recognition: facial identification in ≈0.3 s.
• High-performance AI SoC with 1.4 GHz quad-core CPU and NPU, optimized for real-time video processing and fast, energy-efficient facial authentication.
• Multi-credential support: facial recognition, fingerprint (depending on model), RFID card, Mobile cards (NFC, BLE), QR Code / Barcode, PIN.
• Multi-factor authentication (MFA).
• Secure Linux OS reduces the attack surface and aligns with global certifications.
• Secure Boot helps protect the device from unauthorized changes by allowing only authenticated firmware to run at boot time.
• Tamper secure tamper that detects physical tampering attempts or removal of the device and triggers instant alerts and data wiping.
• EAL6+ CC certified components
• Template on Mobile (biometric templates on user’s phone)
• Life Detection: Infrared-based Live Face Detection and Live Finger Detection.
• Integrated VoIP intercom (microphone, speaker and SIP support for front desk assistance)
• Premium and resistant design: IP65 (dust/water) and IK06 (impact).
• 7″ touch screen (IPS color LCD, 800 x 1280).
• Dual 2 MP cameras (Visual & IR).

Frequently Asked Questions about BioStation 3 Max

 

What authentication methods does BioStation 3 Max support?

BioStation 3 Max supports facial recognition (with AI), fingerprint (depending on model), RFID card (125 kHz EM and 13.56 MHz: MIFARE/MIFARE Plus/DESFire EV1-EV2-EV3/FeliCa), mobile (NFC and BLE credentials), QR/barcode and PIN via scrambled keypad.

 

Can multifactor authentication be configured?

Yes, MFA/2FA can be configured by combining methods such as face + PIN, card + PIN, fingerprint + PIN, face + card, etc., to adjust the security level according to zones and access policies.

 

At what distance can you recognize the face?

The distance of facial authentication is 0.3 to 1.3 m (0.3 to 1.3 ft).

 

Does it work with glasses, mask, cap or appearance changes (beard/comb)?

Yes, it is designed to maintain stable authentication with regular appearance changes (e.g. glasses, mask, cap, beard, or hair style changes), thanks to AI facial matching.

 

Does it include anti-spoofing / life detection measures to avoid photos, screens or masks?

Yes, it incorporates infrared life detection (Live Face Detection) with IR camera and also live fingerprint detection (Live Fingerprint Detection, fingerprint model). It is prepared to block attempts with photos, screens, simple 3D masks and fake fingerprints (e.g. rubber, paper, film, clay or silicone).

 

Can BioStation 3 Max be used for both access control and time and attendance control?

Yes, it is a terminal designed for access control and time and attendance control, in the same device.

 

What network connectivity does it have (Ethernet, speed)?

It includes Ethernet 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit), with auto MDI/MDI-X. Integration level supports protocols such as TCP/UDP and RTSP.

 

Can it be powered by PoE, what standard do you need (PoE+ 802.3at)?

Yes, on compatible models (BS3M-APB / BS3M-OAPB) it supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at). Important: not standard 802.3af PoE (15.4 W); PoE+ (30 W) or even PoE++ is required depending on the scenario to avoid instability.

 

Can the cell phone be used as a credential (NFC/BLE)?

Yes, it allows mobile credentials via NFC and Bluetooth (BLE).

 

Do you support QR credentials / barcodes?

Yes, QR/Barcode support (up to 32 ASCII characters). For extended use cases, QR camera license may be required.

 

What maintenance is required (camera/sensor cleaning, recommendations for use)?

Basic maintenance: periodic cleaning of the camera area (visual/IR) and, if applicable, of the fingerprint sensor, to ensure optimal readings. It is also recommended to check fastenings and the general condition of the front in high use or outdoor installations.

 

What happens if the network fails or there is a power failure (offline/backup modes)?

If there are network problems, the unit has high-capacity internal storage (up to 100,000 users, 5,000,000 text logs and 50,000 image logs), which helps to maintain operation even with limited connectivity and to synchronize when it is restored. In the event of a power failure, continuity will depend on the installed power supply (e.g. PoE+/PSU) and whether the system is equipped with UPS.

 

How is the privacy and processing of biometric data managed (GDPR/RGPD)?

Management is supported by platform security functions (secure Linux, Secure Boot, certified components) and privacy-friendly options such as “Template on Mobile”, where the biometric template can be kept on the user’s cell phone for matching on the device. At the GDPR level, the implementation must be completed with organizational measures (legal basis, user information, retention periods, etc.) and system configuration.

 

Can it be integrated with automatic doors, turnstiles or elevators?

Yes, common access control interfaces such as Wiegand (input/output), RS-485 (OSDP v2 compliant) and I/O (inputs and relays) are available for integration with controllers, gates, turnstiles and other system solutions.
