Kapri is a terminal that operates offline and allows to identify users via RFID (cards, keyfobs, bracelets, and tags) and optionally by mobile. Ideal for access control and time- and attendance control solutions.

Kapri operates offline

Kapri manages all the accesses from the device itself and can work without Internet connection and its maximum capacity is 5.000 users.

Deferred user registration: the user can introduce their ID number and PIN directly at the terminal to complete the registration process autonomously, there is no need to go to the admin’s office in person. This saves time and makes this process more comfortable for both the user and also for the administrator.

Mifare/Desfire reader and Bluetooth (BLE) reader

The device and identify users via 125kHz or Mifare/Desfire (it can read the UID and the memory sectors of the card), depending on the model.

In case of the model that incorporates Bluetooth (BLE), users can identify themselves via virtual cards that are hosted on their mobile phones.

Solutions

We designed Kapri for:

Access control: sports centers, gyms, paddle tennis courts, companies, restricted areas, fairs and congresses and alike.
Time and attendance control

Graphic IPS screen 2.4” and touch keyboard

Kapri’s screen has excellent visibility from all angles. It also has a capacitive keyboard with 4 keys and a beeper.

3 relays and 4 digital inputs

The 3 relays allow activating electric locks, turnstiles, barriers, alarms, among others.

The 4 digital inputs allow monitoring for example the state of the door sensors, limit switches, etc. The device has an anti-tamper sensor that detects if somebody manipulates it.

Ethernet and wifi (optional)

The device can be connected by Ethernet and can communicate with the application by JSON objects. You can easily integrate the device and your preferred programming language or operating system.

Kapri is also available in a version that incorporates Wifi.

CLOUD Procotol: direct connectivity with the cloud

For Web Extranet solutions this is the recommended option of communication, mainly because in these environments it is usually not allowed for the application in the cloud to initiate a connection with the devices. So in this case, only the devices can connect to the cloud. Kapri initiates the communication and when an event is produced, like for example, a device has read a card, it sends a POST command to the application/API Server to the cloud. As a response, the application sends a set of commands to execute to the device, for example, to show messages on the screen or activate a relay to allow access.

The main characteristics of the Cloud protocol are:

– Kapri (the device) initiates all the communications
– The communication is always secure when the cloud uses HTTPS protocol
– It does not require to install drivers nor .DLLs or services…

Other protocols to use inside a LAN*

Kapri offers the following communication protocols:

JSON-TCP/IP
KTP
HTTP

Module for integration

Kimaldi Kapri is available as a module for integration to install in turnstiles, barriers, and doors, among others.

Kapri is connected via the Ethernet port and communication with the app is always done through JSON objects exchange. The equipment offers the following communication protocols:

JSON-TCP/IP

The terminal provides a TCP/IP communication port to send and receive JSON objects. This port can work as Server or Client depending on how it is configured.

This option is the most suitable for those apps developed in those languages which will not allow the use of web protocols, but can handle standard TCP/IP sockets.

KTP

It is a Kimaldi proprietary protocol that has a KTP network driver and performs the following functions:

– Automatically locates LAN terminals.
– Provides an API interface to the software
– Provides a SocketIO channel for event management.
– Encrypts communications with AES256.

This is the best option for intranet applications where they manage several devices whose IP address is unknown. The application interacts exclusively with the KTP network diver/controller. In addition, it allows grouping terminals on the same LAN to be controlled by different applications.

HTTP

The terminal provides an API Server interface that supports POST and GET commands. There is an option for the terminal to send events via SocketIO to avoid polling the application. No driver installation is required. The application needs the IP of the terminal.

This option is the most suitable for intranet web applications, as in these environments applications can freely access devices.

CLOUD

The terminal always initiates communications. When an event occurs, such as a card being read, it sends a POST command to the application/cloud API server. In response, the application sends a batch of commands to be executed by the terminal, such as displaying messages on the screen and activating relays to allow access.

The Cloud protocol is characterised by:

– Kapri initiates any communication.
– Communications are secure when the cloud uses the https protocol.
– No driver installation is required.
– IP is not necessary for the App.

This option is the most suitable for extranet web applications. In these environments and for security reasons the cloud application is not usually allowed to initiate communications with the devices. The terminals are the only ones that can do so.

WebServer

It has a built in, web based management tool that can be used to configure the device. Alternatively it can be configured by commands through the available communication protocols.
