Description
Virdi AC-2200 — Outdoor IP65 Fingerprint Access Control Terminal in Pakistan
The Virdi AC-2200 is a premium outdoor fingerprint and card access control terminal from Virdi’s classic AC series — proven, reliable, and widely deployed across Pakistan for over a decade. Built for the harshest outdoor environments, the AC-2200 combines an IP65-rated weatherproof enclosure with a slim 58mm profile, patented live fingerprint detection technology, Bluetooth mobile key support, a built-in digital camera, and OSDP-encrypted RS-485 communication — delivering a feature set that goes far beyond what most outdoor fingerprint readers offer at this price point.
IOT Systems is the sole and authorized Virdi UBio distributor in Pakistan. Every AC-2200 we supply is 100% genuine, factory-certified, covered by full manufacturer warranty from Virdi Korea, and supported by official firmware updates and manufacturer-backed technical assistance.
Where Does the AC-2200 Fit in the Virdi Range?
The Virdi product range divides into two families. The UBio-X series (Face Pro, Face Premium, Iris) are the newest AI-powered terminals featuring large touchscreens, facial recognition, and the UBio Alpeta cloud platform. The AC series (AC-1100, AC-2000, AC-2200, AC-5000, AC-7000) are the classic proven fingerprint terminals — simpler, more compact, and significantly more cost-effective — managed via the UNIS software platform. The AC-2200 is the premium outdoor model in the AC series — the right choice for any outdoor or semi-exposed access point that needs fingerprint and card authentication with Bluetooth mobile key, weatherproofing, and camera logging at a mid-range price.
Authentication Modes
Fingerprint Recognition: 500 DPI optical fingerprint sensor with 14.8 × 17.9mm platen area. Up to 10,000 fingerprint templates (1:1) and 5,000 templates (1:N). FRR 0.1% / FAR 0.0001%. Patented Live and Fake Fingerprint Detection rejects artificial fingers made from gelatin, rubber, silicone, and paper. Up to 2 templates per finger, 10 fingers per user.
RFID Card: Supports EM 125kHz proximity cards and 13.56MHz smart cards in one built-in reader — no adapter required.
Bluetooth V-Card (Mobile Key): Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mobile key via the Virdi imkey app. Administrators issue V-Card mobile credentials to employees and visitors. Credentials can be distributed via SMS for easy visitor management. Employees tap their smartphone for touchless, cardless access.
PIN Code: 4 hardware function keys for PIN entry as standalone or combined with fingerprint or card authentication.
Key Features
IP65 Outdoor Protection: Fully dustproof and waterproof — the IP65-rated enclosure protects every internal component against dust ingress and water jets in any direction. Performs reliably in Pakistan’s hot summers (up to 60°C), monsoon rains, and dusty industrial environments. Operating temperature -20°C to +60°C.
Built-in 640×480 Digital Camera: The integrated digital camera automatically captures and stores a timestamped photograph at every authentication event — creating a visual audit trail that links each access event to the person who authenticated. Stores up to 10,000 image logs locally. Essential for security monitoring and dispute resolution.
OSDP RS-485 Communication: RS-485 communication uses the OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) — an encrypted, tamper-detected communication standard between the reader and the access controller. Unlike standard Wiegand, OSDP cannot be intercepted or spoofed — significantly more secure for critical access points.
Patented Live & Fake Fingerprint Detection: Virdi’s patented optical sensor technology distinguishes live human skin from artificial fingerprints made from gelatin, rubber, silicone, film, or paper — preventing biometric spoofing attempts. FRR 0.1% / FAR 0.0001% accuracy.
MCP-040 Controller Compatibility: The AC-2200 is fully compatible with the Virdi MCP-040 multi-door control panel — enabling multiple AC-2200 terminals to be connected and managed centrally for multi-door deployments without purchasing additional controllers.
Slim Outdoor Form Factor: At just 58mm wide and 187.9mm tall, the AC-2200 fits on narrow door frames, pillars, and exterior walls where larger terminals cannot be installed. The slimline profile and professional finish suit modern commercial and industrial exterior aesthetics.
UNIS Software — Centralized Management
The AC-2200 is managed via UNIS — Virdi’s dedicated access control and time attendance management software for the AC series. UNIS provides centralized control of all connected AC-series terminals from a single PC or server.
User Management — Add, remove, and manage all cardholders and fingerprint templates across all connected terminals from one screen.
Time Attendance Reporting — Generate automated shift reports, overtime calculations, and payroll exports for HR and finance departments.
Access Level Control — Set time zones, access groups, and door restrictions per individual user or group.
Real-Time Event Monitoring — View live door events, access logs, and camera image captures in real time.
Image Log Review — Review timestamped camera photographs for each access event for security audit and investigation purposes.
MCP-040 Integration — Manage multi-door deployments with the Virdi MCP-040 controller from a single UNIS installation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Virdi AC-2200
What is the difference between the Virdi AC-2200 and the UBio-X Face Pro?
The AC-2200 is from Virdi’s classic AC series — a proven fingerprint and card terminal managed via UNIS software, ideal for outdoor and budget-conscious deployments requiring robust weatherproofing at a mid-range price. The UBio-X Face Pro is from the new UBio-X series — featuring AI facial recognition, a 5-inch touchscreen, and the UBio Alpeta cloud platform for modern enterprise environments. Both are genuine products from IOT Systems as the sole authorized Virdi distributor.
Does the AC-2200 work in Pakistan’s outdoor climate?
Yes. The IP65 rating provides complete dust and water protection, and the operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C covers Pakistan’s hottest summer conditions. The AC-2200 is specifically designed for outdoor installation in demanding climates.
What is OSDP and why is it better than Wiegand?
OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) is an encrypted communication standard between the card/fingerprint reader and the access controller. Unlike Wiegand — which transmits data in plain text and can be intercepted — OSDP encrypts all communication and provides tamper detection. If the cable between the reader and controller is cut or tampered with, the system raises an immediate alarm.
Can the AC-2200 store photos of people accessing the door?
Yes. The built-in 640×480 digital camera automatically captures a timestamped photograph at every authentication event and stores up to 10,000 image logs locally. These can be reviewed via UNIS software for security monitoring and investigation.
How does the Bluetooth mobile key work on the AC-2200?
The Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module enables the Virdi imkey mobile app to work as an access credential. Administrators issue V-Card credentials via the management software — credentials can also be sent via SMS. Employees open the imkey app on their smartphone and tap near the terminal for contactless access without a physical card.
Does IOT Systems install the AC-2200 outside Karachi?
Yes. IOT Systems provides AC-2200 installation, UNIS software setup, and after-sales support across Pakistan — Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Hyderabad, Peshawar, and Quetta.
