Suprema BioLite N2 Outdoor IP Fingerprint Terminal

Suprema BioLite N2 is a Suprema’s 2nd-generation outdoor fingerprint terminal

BioLite N2 is the successor to the original BioLite, representing the second generation of Suprema’s outdoor biometric terminals. These products support 125 kHz EM (EM Prox) cards and 13.56 MHz MIFARE cards, including MIFARE Classic and MIFARE DESFire, depending on the model. It has a tough IP67-rated case that protects against dust and water, perfect for outdoor use. The BioLite N2 can control doors and gates and also track employee attendance.

The processor operates at approximately 1.2 GHz, ensuring rapid fingerprint matching capabilities. It can accommodate up to 10,000 users in a one-to-one configuration and, depending on the model, may support a substantial number of templates, with some specifications indicating support for up to 20,000. Some models can store up to 1,000,000 text log events. Connectivity options include Ethernet (10/100 Mbps), RS-485, Wiegand, TTL inputs, and relay output. Designed for outdoor use, it can function in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +50°C, with storage capabilities extending from -40°C to +70°C. Supports credentials like EM 125 kHz, MIFARE/DESFire 13.56 MHz, NFC, and BLE. The rugged design and IP67 rating make this device ideal for door or semi-outdoor settings, such as building entrances, gates, and factories, where it may be exposed to dust, rain, or other challenging conditions. Its compatibility with fingerprints, cards, and mobile credentials allows organizations to start with card-based systems and later transition to mobile solutions. Additionally, this device effectively combines access control and time attendance tracking, allowing for seamless door or gate unlocking alongside clocking in and out. With its high capacity and rapid matching capabilities, it is well-suited for medium- to large-scale installations.

Select the correct model variant, as different RF credential configurations are available (e.g., EM only, HID Prox + MIFARE, etc.). For outdoor use, follow the manual to maintain IP67 sealing, connect the power correctly, and ensure the lock works properly. Verify that your current access control software and door lock hardware support this system, including relay outputs and Wiegand connections. Although some configurations support mobile credentials (BLE/NFC), you should verify that your region’s model allows them and that your users’ phones are compatible. Review the maintenance and warranty conditions for outdoor devices (sun, heat, humidity, vandalism) to ensure long-term reliability.
