Overview

BioEntry W3 is Suprema's AI-powered facial authentication device, combining deep-learning face recognition with a minimalist mullion-type form factor built for any door. Its Template on Mobile (ToM) technology means facial templates are stored on the user's device — never on the reader — for maximum privacy and GDPR alignment. With IP67 weatherproofing, IK08 vandal resistance and a -20 °C to 50 °C operating range, BioEntry W3 delivers reliable outdoor facial access at perimeter gates, entrances and turnstiles across South Africa.
