Verkada AD34 Multi-format Card Reader

The AD34 Door Reader supports a wide array of card types, including both low-frequency proximity cards and high frequency credentials. This includes ultra-secure, encrypted NFC credentials like Verkada DESFire EV3 cards and employee badges in Apple Wallet.

With the AD34, organizations can also provide a secure yet convenient Bluetooth unlock experience with Intent Unlock. Intent Unlock helps prevent unintentional unlocks by requiring both proximity-based Bluetooth authentication and precise unlock intent in front of the reader — such as a hand wave — in order to unlock the door.

The AD34 includes a 10-year warranty and is IP65 and IK08 rated, making it suitable for outdoor deployments and harsh environments. It also features an easy-to-install, secured snap-in form factor, and ships with both single gang and mullion mount plates, simplifying nearly any installation.
