Common questions
- How many employees does the FingerTec i-Kadex hold?
- The FingerTec i-Kadex stores up to 30,000 enrolled records on the device. We check your headcount and peak-minute traffic before recommending it.
- How does the FingerTec i-Kadex connect?
- It supports Wiegand. In UAE installations we normally run it on wired Ethernet, with Wi-Fi kept as the fallback where cabling is impractical.
- Can the FingerTec i-Kadex be installed outdoors in the UAE?
- The manufacturer rates it IP65, so it can go where the indoor-only Kadex master cannot, with an operating range of -10 to 70 C, humidity 20-80%. We still specify a shade hood on elevations that take direct midday sun, which extends screen and sensor life.
- What software runs the FingerTec i-Kadex?
- Managed through the master terminal under Ingress / TCMS V3. We connect the attendance data through to payroll and produce a WPS-ready export, so the punches become a payable file rather than a report someone has to retype.
- Do you install and support the FingerTec i-Kadex across the UAE?
- Yes. We supply, install, configure, train your team and support it across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. Call +971 54 707 9900 for a fixed written quote.
