The apartment outdoor station elevates the safety and convenience of a residents security system to a new level with an up to the minute non-touch face-recognition entry system, whilst still preserving conventional unlocking operation for emergencies. The product’s working temperature is between -20°C to 60°C, meaning it can operate smoothly across a variety of weather conditions and geographical areas. With a shell made of aluminum alloy plate, it meets IP55 standards for water and dust ingress, and IK07 standards for impact resistance. Further enhanced by an Intrusion Prevention System, the product effectively offers ideal ingress protection to property owners and facilitates the work of security guards.

The high efficiency facial recognition feature on the VTO9341D means that the induction process begins as soon as the person steps into the 0.5-metre range.  The 2MP CMOS image sensor will capture the face in a high-definition colour image for identification. Then, within as quickly as 0.5 second, it is able to complete the recognition process and open the door for the resident. With a comprehensive storage capacity of up to 20000 faces, the system would suffice the demands of a large housing estate or commercial premises. The auto gain control supplements white light to cope with poorly-lit conditions, enabling night vision for outdoor installations.

The VTO9341D is also equipped with a Mifare card reader, fingerprint recognition (with a memory of 3000 fingerprints), and touch screen keypad, which provide multiple unlocking approaches via card, fingerprint and password. Working together with the VTS5240B Master Station images can be forwarded to mobile devices, and owners can even deploy a remote unlock function whilst away from home. Additionally, the audio system supports bidirectional communication, which assists visitors and owners in addition to facial identification.

As a high-end product with unique features and full market potential, and with DSS Express monitoring access control and other Dahua exclusive technologies, this apartment outdoor station could also effectively lower the time and cost of integration and maintenance.
