The best ZKTeco attendance machine depends on your headcount, the conditions where it will be mounted and how staff will identify themselves. For a small UAE office, a fingerprint terminal such as the UA300 Pro is usually enough; busy offices are better served by face recognition such as the SpeedFace V5L-P; and construction sites need a portable, rugged unit such as the S922.
Below are eight models from our current catalogue, grouped by use case, with a comparison table. Capacities come from each model's specifications. Prices change, so see our ZKTeco price list or ask us for a quote.
How to choose
- Headcount and growth: pick a model whose user and face capacity comfortably exceeds your current staff numbers.
- Method: face for busy, dusty or hygiene-sensitive sites; fingerprint for small, clean, indoor teams. See face vs fingerprint attendance.
- Environment: indoor, outdoor, or no fixed power and network.
- Connectivity: network or Wi-Fi, with ADMS push to BioTime, so records reach HR automatically.
- Door control: many models can also release a door lock if you need access control at the same point.
Best for small offices
ZKTeco UA300 Pro (fingerprint)
The UA300 Pro is a fingerprint attendance terminal for up to 3,000 users and 50,000 records, with optional card and password verification. It has TCP/IP, Wi-Fi and USB, and supports ADMS for BioTime and BioTime Cloud. A practical choice for offices, shops and clinics with clean, indoor conditions.
ZKTeco SFace Lite (face and fingerprint)
The SFace Lite brings face recognition to an entry-level terminal: 1,500 faces, 2,000 fingerprints, 2,000 cards and 100,000 records, with verification in one second or less. It suits small teams that want touch-free attendance without a large terminal.
Best for busy offices

The SpeedFace V5L-P is a strong all-round office terminal: 6,000 face templates, 3,000 palms, 6,000 fingerprints (10,000 optional), 10,000 cards and 200,000 transactions. Face recognition takes one second or less, staff can use palm or fingerprint instead, and it can control a door.
ZKTeco G4 (face, fingerprint, card)
The G4 pairs visible-light face recognition with fingerprint, card and password on a 7-inch touch screen. It recognises faces from 0.5 to 3 metres in one second or less, with liveness detection to resist photos and other spoofing attempts.

ZKTeco TF1700 (rugged fingerprint and card)
Where a compact fingerprint and card reader is preferred, the TF1700 is IP65-rated and specified for -10 to 50 °C, with 3,000 fingerprints (8,000 optional), 30,000 cards and 100,000 transactions. It suits workshop doors and sheltered outdoor points for staff whose fingers read well.
