ZKTeco Horus E2-FP Facial and Fingerprint Terminal in Dubai, UAE
A wall-mounted Android biometric terminal that combines face, fingerprint, card and PIN authentication for time attendance and door access workflows.
The E2-FP variant is designed for organizations that need a larger user database, several authentication choices and flexible network connectivity without turning the entrance point into a complicated workstation. FourTeck can help buyers review software, cabling, door hardware interfaces, user volume and deployment requirements before quotation.
One Terminal for Identity, Attendance and Door Decisions
The Horus E2-FP is built for businesses that want biometric verification at the point where people clock in, enter a controlled area, or both. Its key value is not simply that it can recognize a face or scan a finger. It brings several credential types, user records, network choices and door-control connections into one compact endpoint, giving IT, HR and facilities teams a common device to plan around.
The terminal supports up to 50,000 users, 20,000 face templates, 30,000 fingerprint templates and 50,000 card templates, with capacity for 200,000 transactions. Those figures make it relevant to more than a small reception clock. A multi-floor office, education site, clinic group, warehouse operation or branch network can use the same model where a sizeable identity database and more than one verification method are required. The device runs Android 10 on an octa-core 2.0 GHz platform with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB ROM, providing a modern touchscreen interface and the processing platform behind its biometric functions.
Connectivity is another reason buyers consider this model. Wired TCP/IP is useful for fixed installations, while dual-band Wi-Fi can reduce dependence on a nearby data outlet when the wireless network is appropriately secured. Supported 4G mobile communication can be useful where a dedicated wired path is unavailable, and BLE 4.1 adds another local wireless interface. For door control, the unit provides interfaces including Wiegand input and output, ZKTeco RS485, auxiliary input, electric lock, door sensor, exit button and alarm connections.
For UAE buyers, the purchase decision should include more than the terminal alone. Software version, door hardware, power supply, network method, credential policy, mounting surface and required event workflow all affect the project. FourTeck can review these points before a quote so procurement is based on a working deployment plan rather than only the model name.
Why This Model Matters in a Real Workplace
The strongest benefits come from reducing credential limitations, supporting larger user populations and giving the project team several practical ways to connect the terminal to the surrounding access and attendance environment.
Choose the right credential for each group
Face, fingerprint, card and PIN support lets administrators create a more practical policy than forcing every user through one method. Staff may use biometrics for routine attendance, while card or PIN can serve defined operational needs. Mixed methods also help organizations adapt enrollment to different departments, shift patterns or access conditions.
Room for larger identity databases
With 50,000-user capacity and high template counts, the terminal can fit projects where a basic small-office attendance device would be restrictive. Capacity planning still matters because biometric templates, cards, transactions and software policies are separate design considerations.
Fast day-to-day verification
Manufacturer figures list fingerprint authentication under 0.5 second and facial authentication under 1 second. In a busy entrance or staff clocking area, responsive verification helps reduce unnecessary queuing when enrollment quality, placement and network design are handled correctly.
More ways to reach the management system
TCP/IP, dual-band Wi-Fi, BLE 4.1 and supported 4G mobile communication give project teams options for fixed offices, retrofits and distributed sites. The correct choice should be based on network security, signal quality, support policy and the software architecture in use.
Connect identity to the physical entrance
Door sensor, exit button, electric lock, alarm, Wiegand and RS485 interfaces allow the terminal to participate in a wider access-control design. Buyers should still confirm lock type, power, fail-safe or fail-secure behavior and local life-safety requirements before installation.
Attendance and access software choices
ZKTeco lists ZKBio Time and ZKBio CVAccess as supported software, with ZKBio Zexus as the mobile application. Matching software edition, deployment method and licensing to the business requirement is essential before the terminal is rolled out across multiple doors or sites.
The E2-FP Difference Is the Fingerprint Layer
Within the Horus E2 family, the E2-FP is the variant that adds a dedicated fingerprint template capacity of 30,000 while retaining the family’s face, card and password capabilities. That distinction matters for organizations that want a fallback or second biometric method without moving to a separate reader.
The device uses ZKFace VX5622 for facial biometrics and ZKFinger VX10.0 for fingerprint processing. Manufacturer figures list a facial recognition distance of 30 cm to 100 cm, face false acceptance rate at or below 0.01 percent and fingerprint false acceptance rate at or below 0.0001 percent. These technical figures help describe the platform, but a business should still treat enrollment quality, lighting, mounting height, finger condition and user training as part of real-world performance.
A useful procurement detail is variant separation. The current manufacturer parameter table does not list a backup battery for Horus E2-FP; the 3,200 mAh battery is assigned to Horus E2-B. The same table lists QR functionality for the E2-QR variant rather than E2-FP. Buyers who need battery-backed temporary operation or QR as a core credential should therefore confirm the correct family model before ordering.

Choosing the correct configuration starts with the role of the terminal. If it will only record attendance, the software workflow and network path may be the main planning points. If it will release an electric lock, the project also needs door state monitoring, exit logic, lock power, emergency egress considerations and a clear fail behavior. When multiple sites are involved, confirm how users, templates and transactions will be synchronized or administered. FourTeck can help organize these questions before a quotation so the supplied terminal, accessories and service scope match the intended installation.
Configuration and Buyer Guidance
The terminal is only one part of a biometric attendance or access project. The highest-risk buying mistake is selecting the model before confirming the credential policy, software, door hardware and network path that the site actually needs.
How will people authenticate?
Decide whether face, fingerprint, card, PIN or a defined combination will be used. The E2-FP makes sense when fingerprint is genuinely required. If the project instead depends on QR credentials or battery-backed mobility, another Horus E2 variant may be more appropriate.
Which software will manage it?
Confirm whether the deployment will use ZKBio Time, ZKBio CVAccess or another supported architecture. Check licensing, server or cloud requirements, user administration, report needs and any HR or attendance export workflow before rollout.
What network path is reliable?
Wired Ethernet is often preferred for fixed doors, while Wi-Fi can simplify certain retrofits. 4G may help where fixed connectivity is unavailable. Security policy, VLAN design, signal strength and management access should guide the decision.
Is the door hardware compatible?
For access control, identify the lock, exit button, door contact, alarm requirement and any external reader. Confirm voltage, current, fail-safe or fail-secure behavior and whether a separate power supply or controller is needed.
Where will the terminal be mounted?
Plan mounting height, user approach, lighting, cable route and environmental exposure. The current manufacturer table lists an operating range but does not provide an ingress rating on the product page, so exposed outdoor placement should not be assumed.
What should go into the quote request?
Share the quantity, number of users, attendance or access-control purpose, software requirement, number of doors, network preference, delivery location, required accessories and desired implementation scope. This produces a much more useful commercial response.
Where the Horus E2-FP Fits Best
This model is most compelling when a business needs both biometric depth and enterprise-friendly user capacity. The use cases below focus on environments where the fingerprint variant adds practical value rather than treating every entrance as the same problem.
Corporate attendance with controlled entry
A headquarters or larger office can use face or fingerprint for daily attendance while the same terminal participates in door access. This reduces the need to manage one device for time recording and another for identity at the door, provided the selected software and access-control design support the required workflow. It is especially useful when departments need different credential methods or when a card-only policy is considered too easy to share.
Warehouse and operations sites
Shift-based operations often need quick verification and a clear transaction trail. Face can reduce physical contact at the clocking point, while fingerprint offers another enrolled biometric option. Before deployment, the site should review dust exposure, mounting location, network reliability and how gloved or manual-work users will authenticate.
Schools and training facilities
Education sites may need staff attendance, restricted room access or controlled administrative entrances. The large user and card capacities give room for broader identity records, while the organization can decide whether biometrics are appropriate for each population based on policy, consent and local privacy requirements.
Clinics and multi-room facilities
Clinics, laboratories and service facilities may need stronger control around staff-only rooms while keeping attendance records separate from visitor movement. The terminal can support defined staff credentials, but access design should still consider emergency release, privacy, network segmentation and who can administer biometric data.
Branch networks and distributed offices
Organizations with several branches can benefit from a consistent terminal family and multiple connection options. 4G support can help some locations where fixed data is difficult, but centralized management, data synchronization, software licensing and ongoing support should be designed before quantities are committed.
Restricted internal areas
Server rooms, document stores, finance areas and other staff-only zones may benefit from a biometric credential rather than a transferable card alone. Whether the E2-FP should control the door directly or work with a wider controller architecture depends on the security design, door count and system standards already in place.
ZKTeco Horus E2-FP Multi-Biometric Authentication
The practical strength of E2-FP is that administrators do not have to make fingerprint the only credential. Face, fingerprint, dual-frequency card and PIN can coexist within the same endpoint. This is important because authentication policy is usually driven by the user group and the operational context rather than by one preferred technology.
Facial recognition can be useful for contactless daily use, while fingerprint provides a second biometric path where a physical match is preferred. Cards remain useful for controlled issuance and can fit temporary or role-based access policies. PIN entry can support defined fallback or multi-method workflows depending on the configured system. The terminal’s role should therefore be planned around the business process: who is enrolling, who can change credentials, how lost cards are handled, and what happens when a biometric cannot be captured reliably.
For procurement, this flexibility reduces the risk of buying separate device types too early. It also increases the importance of policy design. A company should decide which methods are allowed, whether two-factor sequences are needed, how exceptions are handled and how biometric data is governed. FourTeck can help translate those operational questions into a suitable bill of materials and deployment scope.
ZKTeco Horus E2-FP Connectivity and Door Integration
A biometric terminal becomes operationally useful when it can reliably communicate with the management platform and the door environment. E2-FP provides several connection paths: wired TCP/IP, dual-band Wi-Fi, BLE 4.1 and supported 4G mobile communication. That mix gives project teams options, but each option carries different responsibilities for security, troubleshooting and service continuity.
On the physical access side, Wiegand, ZKTeco RS485, auxiliary input, electric-lock, door-sensor, exit-button and alarm connections allow the terminal to work as more than an attendance clock. That does not mean every door should be wired the same way. Lock current, power separation, emergency release, cable distance, fire-alarm interface and fail behavior must be determined by the installer and the site requirements.
The best purchasing approach is to draw a simple connection diagram before ordering. Mark the terminal, network method, power supply, lock, door contact, exit button and management software. This reveals missing accessories early and helps FourTeck prepare a quote that reflects the actual project rather than only the endpoint quantity.
ZKTeco Horus E2-FP Capacity and Management Planning
High user capacity is valuable only when enrollment, synchronization and reporting are planned. The terminal can hold up to 50,000 users, 20,000 face templates, 30,000 fingerprint templates, 50,000 cards and 200,000 transactions. For a buyer, these numbers answer the first capacity question, but they do not define the whole system architecture.
A multi-site business should decide whether the same users need access at every location, how frequently transactions must reach the central system, who owns enrollment, and what happens if a network link is temporarily unavailable. Attendance reporting may also require department codes, shifts, holidays or export processes that sit in the management software rather than the terminal itself. Access control adds another layer: door permissions, schedules, anti-passback rules and event review need clear administration.
Decision checklist
- Count total enrolled people, not only current daily users.
- Confirm how many face, fingerprint and card credentials each person may require.
- Define transaction retention and synchronization expectations.
- Review ZKBio Time or ZKBio CVAccess compatibility and licensing.
- Decide who can enroll, delete and update biometric records.
- Document backup, administrator access and handover responsibilities.
These planning steps are particularly important for larger rollouts because a good device choice can still become difficult to manage if ownership and software processes are unclear. FourTeck can help structure the requirement before procurement moves to final quantities.
What Buyers Should Check Before Purchase
The most important pre-purchase question is whether E2-FP is the correct Horus E2 variant for the planned credentials and installation. Fingerprint is the reason to choose this model; battery-backed temporary use and QR-led workflows belong to other family variants in the current manufacturer table.
Configuration Fit
Confirm that fingerprint is a genuine project requirement. If users will rely only on face and card, compare the base model. If the workflow requires QR credentials, confirm the E2-QR variant. If backup battery operation is essential, review E2-B rather than assuming the E2-FP includes a battery.
Compatibility Check
Check software edition, network addressing, card technology, lock interface, exit device, door sensor, power and mounting box. For replacements, document what the existing terminal connects to before removal. Matching the new unit to the old cable set without review can create avoidable commissioning problems.
Availability and Warranty
Availability can vary by supplier status, quantity and project timing. Warranty coverage should be confirmed for the exact sourced unit and should include clarity on return process, required proof of purchase and whether installation issues are separate from hardware warranty. FourTeck can provide current guidance with the quote.
Quote Preparation
Provide model, quantity, user count, number of doors, preferred authentication methods, software requirement, site locations, network preference, required date and installation expectations. If an existing system is being replaced, include the current software and door hardware details so compatibility can be reviewed before pricing is finalized.
Also consider long-term operating effort. Biometric projects need periodic user enrollment changes, administrator control, software maintenance, credential revocation and clear handling of staff departures. A low-friction purchasing process is valuable, but long-term manageability is what determines whether the terminal remains useful after the initial installation. FourTeck can help buyers compare the required endpoint with related Horus E2 variants and wider access-control options when the requirement is not yet fully defined.
Availability, Configuration and Service Guidance
FourTeck supports biometric terminal inquiries in Dubai and across the UAE with a procurement process that begins by checking the intended use. For this model, the most useful first questions are whether the customer needs attendance, access control or both; how many users will be enrolled; whether fingerprint is mandatory; which software will manage the device; and what door equipment is already installed.
Review the E2-FP against other Horus E2 variants and confirm whether the required credential set, capacity and mounting environment match the project.
Supply timing can depend on quantity, supplier status and selected accessories. FourTeck can coordinate current availability and delivery planning after the requirement is defined.
Warranty terms should be confirmed against the actual sourced product. FourTeck can help buyers understand the applicable coverage and separate hardware warranty from installation or configuration scope.
A quote can also include related project items when needed, such as compatible lock hardware, exit buttons, door contacts, power supplies, network switches or installation services. Final scope depends on the site and should not be assumed from the terminal model alone.
Support for Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman Projects
Businesses in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and other UAE locations can contact FourTeck for biometric terminal availability, selection guidance and project quotation. Location matters because delivery planning, site access, installation scope and target completion dates can influence how the order should be organized.
For a single office, the requirement may be one terminal, one lock and basic attendance integration. For a branch rollout, the same enquiry may involve multiple doors, standardized user enrollment, central reporting and phased delivery. Sharing the city, number of sites, quantity and intended schedule helps FourTeck distinguish a simple product request from a project supply requirement and provide the right level of guidance.
GCC and Africa Availability Guidance
FourTeck also supports business technology enquiries across selected GCC and Africa markets through regional inquiry channels. Organizations in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain may need the same biometric functions but different commercial arrangements, delivery routes, warranty handling or installation partners. Buyers should therefore confirm country, quantity and project scope before assuming that UAE supply terms apply unchanged.
The same principle applies to projects in Kenya, Uganda and the wider Africa region. Biometric deployment can be affected by local mobile-network bands, power conditions, import timing, software hosting and on-site technical resources. A regional project is easier to plan when the customer provides the target sites, user quantities, required credentials, software preference and whether local installation support is needed.
Regional inquiry channels include FourTeck Kenya, FourTeck Uganda, FourTeck Africa and FourTeck Kuwait. Availability and final support scope vary by country and supplier status.
Other Options Buyers May Consider
The correct alternative depends on which feature is driving the project. Staying within the Horus E2 family can simplify comparison because the core platform is similar, while the variant-specific hardware changes the credential or operating model.
ZKTeco Horus E2
A suitable family comparison when fingerprint is not essential. It retains face, card and password capabilities while avoiding the dedicated lower fingerprint module. Buyers who primarily need touchless identity should compare this model before paying for unused fingerprint capacity.
ZKTeco Horus E2-B
Consider the E2-B when a removable 3,200 mAh backup battery is a key requirement. This can matter for temporary or less stable power scenarios. It does not add the E2-FP fingerprint template capacity, so credential priorities should be reviewed first.
ZKTeco Horus E2-QR
The QR variant is the more relevant comparison where mobile or printed QR workflows are central to the requirement. Confirm the application and integration method before selection.
PoE and network infrastructure
Biometric terminals still depend on reliable network design. Where nearby cameras, access points or other endpoints need Ethernet power, the project may also require suitable switching.
Complete access-control project
Choose a wider project review when the requirement includes locks, door sensors, exit buttons, software, cabling, multiple doors or centralized management.
If the project brief is still changing, FourTeck can help compare these options by credential type, user count, connectivity, installation environment and management software. The aim is to select the model that matches the workflow, not simply the newest or most feature-heavy variant.
Why Business Buyers Contact FourTeck
Biometric access and attendance projects cross several responsibilities: procurement wants a clear quote, IT wants network and software compatibility, facilities needs the door to operate correctly, HR may depend on attendance records, and management expects the solution to remain supportable. FourTeck’s role is to help organize those requirements before the order is finalized.
Compare E2-FP with related biometric models based on real credential and capacity needs.
Review software, networking, access-control interfaces, power and mounting before purchase.
Build the request around quantity, accessories and implementation scope rather than terminal price alone.
Coordinate supply discussions after model, quantity and delivery location are confirmed.
Clarify applicable warranty expectations for the sourced product without assuming universal terms.
Connect the terminal decision to cabling, switching, locks, software and site operations.
This approach is useful for both SMB and enterprise buyers. A small office may only need a short compatibility check, while a multi-site rollout may need staged quantities, standardized configuration and a more detailed implementation plan. In either case, a clear requirement helps reduce wrong-model orders and unexpected accessories later in the project.
ZKTeco Horus E2-FP Buyer FAQs
What is the Horus E2-FP used for?
It is an Android-based biometric terminal for time attendance and access-control workflows. Organizations can enroll users and authenticate them by face, fingerprint, compatible card or PIN. The unit can also connect to door-control components and supported ZKTeco management software, making it suitable for offices, branches, schools, clinics, warehouses and other controlled business areas.
How many users can the terminal support?
ZKTeco lists capacity for 50,000 users, 20,000 face templates, 30,000 fingerprint templates, 50,000 card templates and 200,000 transactions. These are separate limits, so a project should consider how many credential types each person will receive and how records will be synchronized or exported to the management software.
Does the E2-FP support QR codes?
The current manufacturer variant table lists QR functionality for Horus E2-QR and does not list it for Horus E2-FP. Buyers who need QR as a core authentication method should therefore review the E2-QR model or confirm the required integration with FourTeck before ordering the fingerprint variant.
Does the E2-FP include a backup battery?
The current ZKTeco parameter table does not list a backup battery for E2-FP. It assigns a 3,200 mAh lithium battery to the Horus E2-B variant. If the installation needs battery-backed or temporary operation, confirm the correct variant and expected runtime requirements before purchase rather than assuming the fingerprint model includes a battery.
Which network connections are available?
The terminal supports TCP/IP, dual-band Wi-Fi using listed 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n standards, BLE 4.1 and supported 4G mobile communication. The best connection depends on the site. Fixed Ethernet is often preferred for permanent doors, while Wi-Fi or 4G may suit certain retrofit or distributed locations after security and signal quality are reviewed.
Can FourTeck help with door-access integration?
Yes, FourTeck can help buyers review the access-control requirement before quotation, including the electric lock, door sensor, exit button, alarm interface, reader connection, power and network. Final installation scope depends on the existing door, life-safety requirements, cabling and selected hardware, so these details should be shared before the project is priced.
Which ZKTeco software works with the terminal?
ZKTeco lists ZKBio Time and ZKBio CVAccess as supported software and ZKBio Zexus as the mobile application. Buyers should still confirm software edition, licensing, hosting method, reporting needs and integration scope. A terminal can be technically compatible while the wider workflow still needs the correct software configuration and user administration plan.
Is the Horus E2-FP suitable for outdoor installation?
The manufacturer lists an operating temperature of -10°C to 45°C and humidity of 0% to 80% RH non-condensing, but the current product parameter page does not state an ingress-protection rating. Outdoor or exposed placement should therefore be reviewed carefully for weather, dust, direct sun and enclosure requirements before installation.
How can I request a quote in Dubai or the UAE?
Send FourTeck the model name, quantity, number of users, number of doors, required authentication methods, software preference, delivery location and target date. If the device will replace an existing system, include the current terminal, software and door hardware details. FourTeck can then review compatibility, current availability and the likely project accessories before preparing a quote.
Need Help Choosing the Right Biometric Terminal?
FourTeck can review the intended attendance or access-control workflow, user count, credential methods, software, network, door hardware, quantity, delivery location and warranty expectations before preparing a quote.
For a useful request, share:
