Product Overview

A USB card issuer sits beside the computer where users are enrolled. Present a compatible proximity card, collect its number through supported software and associate that number with the right person. This reduces manual card ID entry. The CR20 works as an enrollment accessory within a wider access control setup.

Key Features and Benefits

Convenient USB Enrollment

The CR20 series connects through a USB port, making it practical for reception desks, security offices and IT workstations. An administrator can bring cards to the desk and add users without visiting every door. Plug-and-play describes the connection; your enrollment software must still support the particular reader and workflow.

Card Numbers Matched to ZKTeco Devices

ZKTeco states that CR20E and CR20M read card serial numbers in the same way as its devices. That matters when a card enrolled at the desk is later presented at a compatible ZKTeco terminal. Match the card standard and test the software integration before issuing a full batch of badges.

Clear Variant Choices

Choose CR20E for EM proximity cards at 125 kHz or CR20M for MIFARE cards at 13.56 MHz. These are separate reader versions, so the generic CR20 name does not mean one unit handles both formats. The CR20M/W is the MIFARE version with writing capability. Card encoding also depends on compatible cards and software.

Compact Desk Setup

The small desktop form factor fits a registration counter. LED feedback helps staff see when the reader is active. Card permissions and identity checks remain in your access control software.

Where the CR20 Fits

• Registering employee RFID cards for office entry and attendance
• Replacing a lost card and assigning a new card number to an existing user
• Equipping a reception or security desk for routine badge enrollment

The CR20 is a desktop enrollment device, not a wall-mounted door reader. For hardware placed at an entrance or exit, browse the exit reader range and the broader security system selection.

Technical Specifications and Buying Checks

Compatibility check: Ask which exact model the ৳2,900 listing supplies. Confirm your card frequency, enrollment application, computer operating system and writing requirements before purchase. The manufacturer's variant specifications should take priority over generic descriptions of the CR20 family.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does a ZKTeco CR20 card issuer do?

It connects to a computer so an operator can register supported proximity card numbers in a compatible access control or attendance application.

Does every CR20 read both EM and MIFARE cards?

No. CR20E is the 125 kHz EM reader, while CR20M is the 13.56 MHz MIFARE reader. Confirm which one is supplied.

Can the CR20 write or duplicate cards?

Only the CR20M/W variant is specified for MIFARE writing. Writing is subject to the card format and compatible software; do not assume the listed unit has this feature.

Is the CR20 an exit reader for a door?

No. It is used at a computer for enrollment. Choose a dedicated installed reader for a door or exit point.

Will it work with my ZKTeco access terminal?

The CR20E and CR20M are designed to read serial numbers matching ZKTeco devices, but verify your card technology and application setup first.

Does USB plug-and-play mean no software is needed?

No. USB makes the physical connection simple; recording cardholders and assigning permissions still requires a suitable application and configuration.

Can I use it for staff attendance registration?

Yes, where your attendance platform accepts the appropriate reader and card format. Test one card before enrolling a larger group.

What should I confirm before placing an order?

Check the printed variant, card frequency, read or write requirement, operating system, software support and whether cards are supplied separately.
