ZKTeco G4 Pro Android Facial Recognition Terminal in Dubai, UAE
A high-capacity Android terminal for facial identity verification, workforce attendance, credential-based entry, and door-control workflows.
The G4 Pro combines visible-light facial recognition with a 7-inch touchscreen, QR support, card options, access-control interfaces, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Power over Ethernet, and optional fingerprint or 4G capability. FourTeck can help business buyers confirm the correct credential mix, software environment, network method, door hardware, and project quantity before quotation.
A Flexible Identity Terminal for Busy Entrances and Workforce Workflows
The G4 Pro is designed for organizations that need more than a basic attendance clock. It can operate as a facial recognition point for employee attendance, a credential terminal for controlled doors, or part of a broader access-management environment. Its value comes from combining high user capacity, several identification methods, mainstream network connectivity, and physical door-control interfaces in one device. That makes it relevant where a buyer wants one terminal to serve both people-management and physical-security workflows instead of running separate devices for every function.
ZKTeco specifies up to 50,000 users, 50,000 face templates, 50,000 card records, and 1,000,000 transaction records. For a procurement team, those figures matter because terminal sizing is not only about how many employees work in one office today. It also includes contractors, students, visitors, multiple shifts, branch growth, archived records, and the frequency with which management systems synchronize data. A larger identity database can therefore provide useful headroom for campuses, larger offices, logistics operations, education sites, healthcare environments, and organizations with centralized workforce administration.
The terminal uses a 7-inch 720 × 1280 touch display and a 2MP binocular camera. Facial verification is specified at up to one second within a recognition distance of 0.3 to 1.2 metres. In practice, deployment quality still depends on mounting height, approach angle, lighting, the condition of the entrance, user enrollment quality, and local privacy policies. A terminal with capable hardware can still perform poorly if it is installed where users approach from an unsuitable angle, if direct glare affects the camera, or if administrators enroll inconsistent face profiles.
For UAE buyers, the most important step is to treat the device as one component in a complete access or attendance design. FourTeck can review the intended software platform, door hardware, lock type, exit button, reader interfaces, credential strategy, Ethernet or Wi-Fi availability, Power over Ethernet planning, optional 4G requirement, and installation scope. This approach helps a buyer decide whether the standard terminal is sufficient, whether optional fingerprint or multi-tech card functions are needed, and which accessories should be included in the quotation.
Key Business Benefits
The strongest reason to choose this class of terminal is not a single specification. It is the ability to combine identity verification, attendance records, access-control signalling, and multiple credential methods in a platform that can serve a growing organization.
Large identity and event capacity
Support for 50,000 users, faces, and cards plus one million transactions gives organizations room to manage substantial employee or member populations. This can reduce the pressure to replace a terminal simply because a site expands, adds shifts, or needs longer event retention. Capacity should still be planned together with the management software and synchronization method, but the hardware ceiling is suitable for more demanding environments than small-office attendance devices.
Fast face verification at the point of entry
Recognition specified at up to one second helps reduce friction at normal employee entrances and attendance points. Faster interaction can be especially useful around shift changes or office start times when many people arrive within a short window.
Multiple credential paths
Face, card, QR workflows, and optional fingerprint support let a buyer match verification methods to different user groups. A company may use facial recognition for employees while retaining card or QR methods for contractors, visitors, or exception handling.
Flexible communication options
TCP/IP, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB host, RS485 and Wiegand interfaces provide several ways to connect the terminal to the local environment. Optional 4G can be considered where fixed network access is difficult, subject to regional network compatibility and project design.
Power over Ethernet deployment option
IEEE 802.3af/at support can simplify cabling where suitable PoE infrastructure is available. One network cable may carry both data and power, reducing the need for a local power outlet near the terminal, although switch budget, cable path, distance, and resilience still need review.
Door-control and software integration
Lock relay output, exit button input, door sensor support, alarm output, Wiegand, OSDP over RS485, ZKBio software support, and Android LCDP/PUSH SDK options give system designers several integration routes. Final compatibility should always be confirmed against the exact controller, software release, and project requirement.
What Stands Out in the G4 Pro Platform
The terminal is built around a 64-bit octa-core 1.8GHz computer-vision processor with 2GB LPDDR3 memory and 16GB eMMC storage. That hardware supports the Android interface and the device’s identity-processing tasks while providing a platform for ZKTeco’s integration tools. For a buyer, the practical point is that this is not positioned like a simple keypad or standalone card reader; it is a richer edge terminal intended to handle user interaction, facial recognition, event storage, and multiple communication methods.
Its integrated QR reader is also useful where a project wants mobile or temporary credentials. ZKTeco documents support for dynamic QR codes used through ZKBio CVSecurity and additional barcode formats for third-party development projects, including PDF417, Data Matrix, MicroPDF417, and Aztec. These capabilities are valuable when physical cards are not the only credential method, but buyers should confirm the exact workflow they intend to deploy rather than assuming every QR use case works automatically without software configuration.

Choosing the correct configuration starts with the credential strategy. If the site already uses 125kHz ID or 13.56MHz IC cards, confirm the exact card technology before assuming existing badges can be reused. If fingerprint is required for fallback or dual-factor verification, request the optional fingerprint-equipped variant. If the project relies on cellular connectivity, confirm the optional 4G version and supported local bands. Buyers should also decide whether the terminal will control a lock directly or interface with an existing controller, because this changes wiring, power, fail-safe design, and commissioning requirements. Finally, confirm whether the management objective is primarily attendance, broader access control, or integration through an SDK. These choices affect software, implementation effort, training, and long-term administration more than the terminal hardware alone.
Configuration and Buyer Guidance
A suitable purchase starts with the site design, not the model name. Confirm how people will identify themselves, what the door hardware requires, how records will be managed, and how the terminal will connect to the network before finalizing a quote.
Which credentials are required?
Decide whether face alone is enough or whether card, QR, fingerprint, PIN, or multi-factor workflows are needed. This is the highest-risk selection question because optional modules must be ordered correctly.
What will the terminal connect to?
Review existing locks, controllers, exit buttons, door contacts, alarms, Wiegand readers, RS485 readers, and network switches. Existing infrastructure can determine the most practical wiring design.
How will data be managed?
Clarify whether the requirement is attendance reporting, access permissions, centralized security management, or custom application integration. Software choice affects administration and deployment scope.
Ethernet, Wi-Fi, PoE or 4G?
Use wired Ethernet where practical for predictable connectivity. If PoE is planned, confirm switch support and budget. Wi-Fi or optional 4G may solve specific locations but should be designed around coverage and security.
How many terminals and users?
Include employees, contractors, future growth, multiple entrances, shift patterns, and branch locations. One high-capacity terminal may still be unsuitable if traffic flow requires several entrance points.
What should go into the quote request?
Provide quantity, credential methods, software requirement, door count, lock type, network method, delivery location, installation scope, target date, and warranty expectations. This helps FourTeck prepare a more useful quotation.
Ideal Business Use Cases
This terminal is best suited to organizations that need consistent identity verification at controlled entrances or attendance points and that can benefit from larger user capacity, mixed credentials, or integrated door-control interfaces.
Corporate offices and headquarters
A corporate site may need one identity platform for employee entry, attendance events, department access levels, and audit records. The G4 Pro is relevant where face recognition can reduce dependence on badges at frequent entry points while cards or optional fingerprint remain available for exception handling. Multi-door projects should still be designed around the correct controllers, network architecture, and software rather than treating each terminal as an isolated appliance.
Warehouses and logistics facilities
Shift-based operations often create concentrated arrival and departure times. Fast facial verification can make clocking more convenient, while access-control I/O can support restricted doors. Mounting, lighting, dust exposure, network access, and worker flow should be reviewed during planning.
Education and training campuses
Large identity capacity can be useful where staff, students, contractors, or members must be managed across recurring schedules. The exact use should follow the organization’s privacy, consent, and safeguarding policies, with access rules configured according to approved zones.
Healthcare and controlled workplaces
Clinics, laboratories, and administrative healthcare environments may use biometric access where certain rooms require controlled entry. Credential fallbacks can help accommodate users who cannot use one method consistently. Final design should align with internal security and privacy requirements.
Multi-tenant and shared business facilities
Business centers and shared facilities may need flexible identity methods for employees, long-term tenants, temporary users, and service contractors. QR and card options can complement facial enrollment when not every user should be added to the biometric database.
Custom integration projects
Organizations with internal applications can investigate Android LCDP and PUSH SDK integration. This is a project path rather than a plug-and-play promise: development scope, API behavior, supported firmware, authentication flow, testing, and ongoing maintenance should be defined before procurement.
G4 Pro + Visible-Light Facial Recognition
Facial recognition is the primary reason many buyers consider the G4 Pro. The terminal uses ZKTeco’s ZKFace 5.6.2 algorithm with a 2MP binocular camera, a documented recognition distance of 0.3 to 1.2 metres, and recognition time of up to one second. That combination is suited to an interactive entrance where a user naturally approaches the device, looks toward the screen, and receives a verification result without handling a physical credential.
The business benefit is lower friction for daily use. Employees do not need to search for a card every time they clock in or open an approved door, and administrators can reduce the operational impact of lost or forgotten badges for routine users. However, facial recognition should never be planned only from the capacity number. Enrollment quality, camera position, ambient lighting, user approach, and the organization’s biometric-data policy all affect the deployment. FourTeck can help review the physical installation requirements and whether a fallback method such as card, QR, or optional fingerprint should be included.
G4 Pro + Connectivity, PoE and Door Integration
A biometric terminal becomes more valuable when it fits the network and physical access design already in place. The G4 Pro supports TCP/IP, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB host, Wiegand input and output, RS485 for compatible readers, and optional 4G. It also supports IEEE 802.3af/at Power over Ethernet as well as a 12V DC, 3A power input. This provides several practical deployment paths, from a conventional wired LAN to a PoE-enabled entrance where data and power travel over the same structured cable.
For access-control work, the device exposes lock relay output, exit button, alarm output, auxiliary input, door sensor and external bell connections, plus RS485 with OSDP v2.1.7 and Wiegand interfaces. The important buyer question is whether the terminal will operate the door directly or work with a separate access controller. Direct control may suit selected doors, while larger or higher-security environments may prefer centralized controller architecture. Network segmentation, PoE resilience, emergency release design, lock power, fire-alarm interaction, and cable protection should all be considered by the system designer.
Best starting point where structured cabling is available and network stability is important.
Can simplify installation, subject to compatible switching, power budget and cabling.
Useful for selected sites without practical LAN access; confirm regional bands and data design.
G4 Pro + QR, Cards and Optional Fingerprint
Not every user should be forced into one credential method. The G4 Pro can combine facial verification with card credentials, QR scanning, and optional fingerprint. ZKTeco lists 125kHz ID and 13.56MHz IC card support, with an optional multi-tech card module, while the QR reader can work with dynamic QR codes in ZKBio CVSecurity and several common code formats for third-party development. The optional Z-ID fingerprint sensor supports up to 30,000 fingerprints.
This flexibility is important for real workplaces. Permanent employees might use facial recognition, contractors might retain cards, visitors could use an approved QR process, and specific users may need fingerprint or card fallback. The benefit is operational choice; the risk is configuration confusion. A buyer should define which credential is primary, which methods are optional, whether multiple factors are required together, and how temporary credentials are issued and revoked. These decisions affect card ordering, enrollment process, visitor management, and software configuration.
Decision checklist
- Confirm the exact card frequency and technology already in use.
- Specify whether fingerprint hardware is required on the quoted unit.
- Define the QR credential workflow and software that will issue codes.
- Decide whether credentials are alternatives or part of a multi-factor rule.
- Plan how lost cards, changed users and temporary access will be administered.
What Buyers Should Check Before Purchase
The biggest purchasing risk is ordering the right terminal name with the wrong option set or integration assumptions. Confirm credential methods, software, door hardware, connectivity, accessory needs, warranty expectations, and installation scope before the purchase order is finalized.
Configuration Fit
Confirm the number of users and entrances, whether fingerprint is required, whether the multi-tech card module is needed, and whether optional 4G is part of the project. Avoid assuming every advertised function is included on every supplied unit. The face, user, and card capacities are high, but physical traffic flow may still require multiple devices.
Compatibility Check
Match the terminal to existing badge technology, locks, controllers, readers, cabling, PoE switches, network segments, and management software. If an existing access platform is already deployed, confirm the exact integration path before purchase. SDK availability does not automatically mean that every third-party application is ready without development work.
Availability and Warranty
Current availability can vary by option set, quantity and supplier position. Warranty handling should be checked against the exact quoted supply terms rather than assumed from a generic marketplace listing. Ask whether optional modules, accessories and software are included or quoted separately, especially on multi-terminal projects.
Quote Preparation
Send FourTeck the quantity, door count, intended use, credential types, current card technology, network method, software requirement, installation location, target date and support expectations. For replacements, include the existing terminal model and controller details. For new projects, include a simple door schedule so power supplies, locks and accessories can be reviewed.
Buyers also commonly ask whether one model can be used for both attendance and access control. The answer is yes at a capability level, but the final project design depends on firmware, supported software, door-control architecture, and the reporting workflow the organization expects. Another frequent question is whether a high-capacity face database means one terminal can serve an entire building. Capacity and entrance throughput are different things: a site with several doors, different security zones, or heavy shift traffic may need multiple terminals even when one device could technically store all identities. These are the practical points that should be settled before price becomes the only selection criterion.
Plan the Device, Accessories and Deployment Together
FourTeck supports product inquiries across Dubai and the UAE with assistance for product selection, configuration review, quotation, delivery coordination, and warranty guidance. Availability can vary by terminal option, quantity, supplier position, software requirement, and accessory list, so a project-specific request is more reliable than assuming a generic configuration is immediately available.
For this product, selection support typically means confirming the face/card/fingerprint mix, whether 4G is required, whether PoE will be used, and how the terminal connects to the access-control system. Delivery coordination can then be planned around the final hardware and the number of doors or locations. Warranty guidance should be tied to the quoted product and supply route, especially where optional modules are involved.
Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman Project Support
Businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, and other UAE locations can contact FourTeck for availability checks, configuration guidance, and quotation assistance. A practical request should include the number of terminals, the number of controlled doors, user count, preferred credential methods, delivery location, and whether installation or integration support is required. Projects in offices, schools, warehouses, clinics, retail operations, and shared facilities can differ significantly even when the same terminal model is considered, so the quote should reflect the actual environment rather than a generic bundle. For multi-site customers, FourTeck can also help structure the inquiry around common standards such as matching credential types, consistent software management, network requirements, and a repeatable door hardware design.
GCC and Africa Availability Guidance
FourTeck also supports business technology inquiries across selected GCC and Africa markets through its regional inquiry channels. Buyers in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Kenya, Uganda, and other regional markets can ask for product sourcing guidance, configuration review, and delivery discussion according to the destination and project requirements. Availability, warranty handling, import considerations, optional modules, cellular compatibility, and delivery terms can differ by country, so these details should be checked for each order.
For biometric terminals, regional planning should also include local network compatibility where optional 4G is required, suitable power and cabling, software deployment location, administrator access, user privacy policies, and the support model after installation. A multi-country buyer should avoid assuming that one identical commercial package will automatically suit every site. FourTeck can help organize the request so common hardware standards are maintained where practical while country-specific delivery and support conditions are reviewed separately.
Other Models Buyers May Consider
A related ZKTeco model may be more suitable when the project needs different environmental characteristics, temperature screening, a different form factor, or a simpler attendance-only deployment. The choice should be based on the required verification methods, user capacity, door architecture, software platform, and installation conditions rather than on product family alone.
ZKTeco G4 Pro [TI]
Consider the temperature-detection version only when that additional capability is genuinely part of the project requirement. It is a distinct model path and should not be confused with the standard terminal.
ZKTeco ProFace X series
A useful comparison family for projects evaluating other high-capacity face-recognition form factors and deployment options.
ZKTeco SpeedFace series
Worth reviewing when the buyer wants a facial terminal from a different ZKTeco family and needs to compare capacity, credential methods, size, and project fit.
ZKTeco FaceDepot family
May suit buyers exploring other face-terminal designs, subject to the exact model, software compatibility, and door-control requirement.
The most useful comparison question is not “which terminal is best?” but “which model matches the site with the fewest unnecessary options and the right integration path?” A buyer with a simple office attendance requirement may not need the same hardware as a multi-door enterprise deployment. Conversely, a buyer planning several access points, multiple credential types, or custom integration should not select a smaller attendance model purely because the initial device cost is lower. FourTeck can review the project requirement and suggest a suitable model family before the final quotation.
Practical Procurement Support Beyond the Device
Access-control purchases often fail at the interfaces between products: the wrong card technology, an unsupported lock arrangement, missing door contacts, inadequate power, a PoE switch without enough budget, or software that does not match the intended workflow. FourTeck’s role is to help buyers organize these technical and commercial questions before the order is placed, especially when the terminal is part of a larger workplace security or attendance project.
That support can include product sourcing, configuration guidance, pre-sales discussion, quotation assistance, UAE delivery coordination, warranty guidance, and related product matching. For SMB buyers, this can reduce uncertainty when there is no dedicated access-control engineer on staff. For larger organizations and system integrators, it provides a structured way to confirm model options, quantities, accessories, and project assumptions before procurement. The goal is to make the buying request specific enough that the supplied equipment matches the intended use.

Structure quantity, accessories and service scope clearly.
Discuss delivery requirements after configuration is confirmed.
Clarify terms that apply to the actual quoted supply.
Consider alternatives where another model better fits the requirement.
Common Questions About the G4 Pro
What is the G4 Pro mainly used for?
It is used for biometric time attendance and access-control workflows. Organizations can enroll users for facial verification, issue supported card credentials, use QR-based workflows, and add optional fingerprint capability. It also provides door-control interfaces for locks, exit buttons, sensors, alarms, and compatible readers. The exact deployment depends on the selected firmware, software, and access-control design.
How many faces can the terminal store?
ZKTeco specifies a face capacity of 50,000, along with 50,000 users, 50,000 cards, and up to 1,000,000 transaction records. Capacity is only one sizing factor. A building with several entrances or heavy shift traffic may still require multiple terminals for practical user flow even when one device can store the entire identity database.
Does it support fingerprint authentication?
Fingerprint is an optional configuration. ZKTeco lists an optional Z-ID fingerprint sensor with capacity for up to 30,000 fingerprints. If fingerprint is required for fallback, dual verification, or specific user groups, it should be stated in the quote request so the correct hardware configuration is supplied rather than assuming it is included by default.
Can the terminal use Power over Ethernet?
Yes. ZKTeco lists IEEE 802.3af/at PoE support in addition to 12V DC, 3A power. PoE can simplify cabling where compatible network switching is already available. Before installation, confirm the PoE standard, available switch power budget, cable distance, network segmentation, and whether backup power is required for the access-control path.
Which software can be used with it?
ZKTeco lists ZKBio Time for time-attendance firmware and ZKBio CVSecurity for broader security management. The platform also supports Android LCDP and PUSH SDK options for integration projects. Buyers should confirm the intended software version, server environment, licensing or deployment requirements, and whether custom development is needed before ordering terminals for multiple sites.
Is the ZKTeco G4 Pro available in Dubai and the UAE?
FourTeck can assist with current availability checks and quotations for UAE requirements. Supply can vary by quantity, option set, supplier position, fingerprint or 4G requirement, and accessory list. Contact FourTeck with the exact intended configuration and delivery location so current options can be reviewed rather than relying on a generic stock assumption.
Can I reuse my existing access cards?
Possibly, but the card technology must be checked first. The terminal supports 125kHz ID and 13.56MHz IC cards, with an optional multi-tech card module. Existing badges can differ in frequency, chip type, encoding, sector usage, and security method, so compatibility should be verified with sample cards or the exact credential specification before a migration is planned.
Can FourTeck help with installation planning?
FourTeck can help review product selection, network method, PoE planning, door hardware, credential choices, software requirements, and quotation scope. Installation needs vary by site, especially where locks, exit buttons, door contacts, fire-alarm interfaces, controllers, structured cabling, or multiple terminals are involved. Share the door count and existing infrastructure so the requirement can be assessed more accurately.
What information should I provide for a bulk quote?
Provide the number of devices, number of doors, total users, required credential methods, existing card technology, software platform, preferred connectivity, installation locations, target delivery date, and support expectations. If the project spans several sites, include quantities by location. This helps FourTeck review the option set, accessory needs, logistics, and whether a related model should also be considered.
Need Help Choosing the Right Configuration?
FourTeck can review the intended use, terminal quantity, credential methods, existing card technology, door hardware, network method, software requirement, delivery location, and warranty expectations before preparing a quotation. This is especially useful when optional fingerprint, 4G, multi-tech cards, PoE, or controller integration are part of the project.
Share the model, quantity, user count, credential mix, door count, delivery location, and target use.
