Common questions

How many employees does the ZKTeco F18 hold?
The ZKTeco F18 stores up to 3,000 enrolled records on the device, with a 100,000-punch transaction log. We check your headcount and peak-minute traffic before recommending it.
How does the ZKTeco F18 connect?
It supports TCP/IP, RS-485, RS-232, Wiegand and USB. In UAE installations we normally run it on wired Ethernet, with Wi-Fi kept as the fallback where cabling is impractical.
What software runs the ZKTeco F18?
ZKAccess 3.5, free SDK and development tools, USB key data transfer. 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.
