Description
Virdi AC-2100 Plus — IP65 Fingerprint & Card Access Control Terminal in Pakistan
The Virdi AC-2100 Plus is a robust IP65-rated fingerprint and card access control terminal from Virdi’s proven AC series — widely deployed across Pakistan in offices, factories, warehouses, schools, and outdoor access points. It combines weatherproof IP65 construction with Virdi’s patented live fingerprint detection technology, PoE (Power over Ethernet) support for single-cable installation, OSDP-encrypted RS-485 communication, and a compact 58mm slimline form factor — making it one of the most practical and reliable fingerprint access control terminals available in Pakistan at this price point.
IOT Systems is the sole and authorized Virdi UBio distributor in Pakistan. Every AC-2100 Plus 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.
Virdi AC-2100 Plus vs AC-2200 — Understanding the Difference
Both the Virdi AC-2100 Plus and Virdi AC-2200 share the same IP65 housing and 58 × 187.9 × 51.6mm dimensions. The key differences are: the Virdi AC-2200 adds Bluetooth mobile key (V-Card via imkey app) and a built-in 640×480 digital camera for image logging — making it the premium outdoor model. The AC-2100 Plus focuses on core fingerprint and card access control with PoE support — a more cost-effective choice for straightforward outdoor deployments where Bluetooth and camera features are not required. Both support OSDP RS-485 and Wiegand IN/OUT.
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 1,500 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: EM 125kHz proximity cards and 13.56MHz smart cards — both supported in one built-in reader. HID Prox and HID iCLASS are not supported on this model.
PIN Code: 4 hardware function keys for PIN entry as standalone or combined with fingerprint or card for two-factor authentication.
Key Features
IP65 Outdoor Protection: Fully dustproof and waterproof — IP65-rated enclosure protects against dust ingress and water jets in any direction. Operating temperature -20°C to +60°C. Suitable for Pakistan’s hot summers, monsoon rains, and dusty industrial environments.
PoE — Power over Ethernet: The AC-2100 Plus supports PoE — meaning both power and data travel over a single ethernet cable. This eliminates the need to run a separate power cable to the terminal — simplifying installation significantly, reducing installation cost, and making the terminal easier to position at any network-connected point without needing a nearby power socket.
OSDP RS-485 Encrypted Communication: RS-485 communication uses OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) — an encrypted, tamper-detected communication standard. Unlike Wiegand which transmits data in plain text, OSDP encrypts all reader-to-controller communication and raises an immediate alarm if the cable is cut or tampered with.
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 — FRR 0.1% / FAR 0.0001%.
Slim Outdoor Form Factor: At just 58mm wide, the AC-2100 Plus fits on narrow door frames, pillars, and exterior walls. The slimline profile and professional finish suit modern commercial and industrial exterior aesthetics.
MCP-040 Controller Compatibility: Fully compatible with the Virdi MCP-040 multi-door control panel for centralized multi-door deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions — Virdi AC-2100 Plus
What is the difference between the Virdi AC-2100 Plus and AC-2200?
Both share the same IP65 housing and identical dimensions. The AC-2200 adds Bluetooth mobile key via the Virdi imkey app and a built-in 640×480 camera for image logging — making it the premium outdoor model. The AC-2100 Plus focuses on core fingerprint and card access with PoE support at a more cost-effective price. If you need Bluetooth mobile credentials or camera-based image audit trail, choose the AC-2200. If you need straightforward outdoor fingerprint and card access with PoE, the AC-2100 Plus is the right choice.
What is PoE and why is it useful on the AC-2100 Plus?
PoE (Power over Ethernet) allows both power and data to travel over a single ethernet cable to the terminal. This eliminates the need for a separate power cable — reducing installation cost and complexity, especially at outdoor access points far from power sockets. The terminal draws power directly from the network switch or PoE injector.
Does the AC-2100 Plus work in Pakistan’s outdoor climate?
Yes. The IP65 rating provides complete dust and water protection and the -20°C to +60°C operating temperature covers Pakistan’s hottest summer conditions. The AC-2100 Plus is specifically designed for outdoor installation.
What is OSDP and why is it better than Wiegand?
OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) encrypts all communication between the reader and access controller — Wiegand transmits data in plain text and can be intercepted. OSDP also provides tamper detection — if the cable is cut or tampered with, the system raises an immediate alarm.
Does the AC-2100 Plus support HID cards?
No. The AC-2100 Plus supports EM 125kHz proximity cards and 13.56MHz smart cards only. HID Prox and HID iCLASS are not supported on this model. If HID card support is required, consider the Virdi AC-2200 or contact IOT Systems for an alternative recommendation.
Does IOT Systems install the AC-2100 Plus outside Karachi?
Yes. IOT Systems provides AC-2100 Plus installation, UNIS software setup, and after-sales support across Pakistan — Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Faisalabad, Multan, Hyderabad, Peshawar, and Quetta.
