Suprema BioEntry R2 Compact Fingerprint Reader (BER2-OD)

The Suprema BioEntry R2 (BER2-OD) is a compact, high-performance fingerprint and RFID card reader designed for centralized access control systems. Acting as a slave device alongside intelligent controllers such as the Suprema CoreStation, it offers secure biometric authentication without local data storage. Its slim, mullion-type design makes it ideal for narrow door frames or tight installation spaces, while advanced fingerprint recognition, dual-frequency RFID support, and mobile credentialing via NFC ensure reliable and versatile access control for enterprise and institutional environments.

Product Features

High-Definition Biometric Authentication

Equipped with a 500 DPI optical fingerprint sensor, the BER2-OD provides accurate minutiae extraction and supports ISO 19794-2 and ANSI 378 fingerprint templates.

Dual-Frequency RFID Support

Reads 125kHz (EM) and 13.56MHz (MIFARE, MIFARE Plus, DESFire EV1/EV2/EV3, FeliCa) cards, offering compatibility with a wide range of access credentials.

Mobile Access Capability

Supports NFC-enabled Android smartphones as credentials through the BioStar 2 Mobile card platform, enabling secure, convenient mobile access.

Centralized Security Architecture

Acts as a slave device with all biometric data processed and stored on a central controller, reducing the risk of tampering at the door side.

Compact and Durable Design

Slim mullion form factor (50 mm width) fits narrow doorways, and the device operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 50°C. Some models are IP65-rated for outdoor environments.

User Feedback and Security Features

Features multi-color LED indicators, multi-tone buzzer alerts, and a built-in tamper switch to enhance security and user interaction.

Secure Communication

Supports RS-485 interface and OSDP V2 for encrypted, standardized communication between the reader and the central controller.
