BioStar X RFID - Multi-credential. One user, multiple ways in.

RFID. Support existing and advanced card environments with flexible Wiegand formats and smart-card technologies including MIFARE, DESFire, iCLASS, Seos, and FeliCa.

BioStar X QR code - Multi-credential. One user, multiple ways in.

QR codes. Flexible app-free access using digital or printed QR codes. Ideal for visitors, temporary users, and time-limited access.

BioStar X PIN - Multi-credential. One user, multiple ways in.

PIN. Use a PIN as a standalone credential or as a second authentication factor on compatible readers for added security.

Enrollment that works
your way.

Enroll users remotely, in bulk, or at the desk with flexible workflows built for employees, visitors, and large user populations.

Remote face enrollment

Remote face enrollment lets users register before arrival from their phone. Send a secure email link that expires after 24 hours; once submitted, the face credential is added directly to their BioStar X profile.

Batch face enrollment

Batch face enrollment eliminates one-by-one setup. Import a CSV with face images matched to user IDs, or send mobile enrollment links to multiple users at once.

Fast on-site enrollment

Fast on-site enrollment gets users access-ready in seconds. Enroll face or fingerprint credentials at a connected Suprema reader in under two seconds, or use a supported full-page ID scanner to automatically capture identity details, photo, and face credential.

MONITORING

Always on, ready for
action.

BioStar X brings live status, maps, alarms, access events, and linked video into one monitoring workspace. See what is happening across the site, investigate with context, and respond without switching tools.

Track doors, elevators, devices, and advanced access control zones in real time, then navigate by area, facility, or floor to focus on abnormal conditions requiring attention.

See the whole site at a glance

Understand what happened, faster

Bring access events, alerts, images, and video together so operators can verify incidents, review evidence, and follow the complete event trail from one place.

SYSTEM SECURITY & COMPLIANCE

Rock-solid security,
for real operations.

BioStar X protects access operations with encrypted communications, granular permissions, account safeguards, and resilient system architecture, backed by Suprema’s certified security and privacy management systems.

Multi-communication server

Multi-communication server distributes device communications across multiple servers to maintain responsive performance as deployments grow.

Granular access permissions

Granular access permissions let you assign operator access down to submenu and camera-group level, limiting who can view or modify sensitive data.

Trust and compliance controls

Trust and compliance controls support security, privacy, and accountability requirements through complete audit trails, controlled data access, configurable retention, and secure communications, backed by Suprema’s ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27701 certifications.

Secure tamper on Suprema devices

Secure tamper on Suprema devices detects pry, open, and removal events in real time, triggering alerts in BioStar X and automated responses. Upon detection, onboard wipe irreversibly clears data and configurations from the device.

Encrypted communications

Encrypted communications protect major system channels with TLS 1.3, enable secure device-to-server communication by default, and secure supported card-to-reader exchanges with DESFire EV2/EV3 Secure Messaging.

Authentication Lockout

Authentication Lockout blocks repeated PIN attempts to help prevent brute-force attacks and contributes toward meeting the requirements of EN 60839 Security Grade 4.

ACCESS DATA & REPORTING

Let your logs
do the talking.

From scheduled reports to audit logs, BioStar X keeps a running history of every tap, scan, and override. Ready to export, analyze, or drop into a boardroom.
