Fortuna manufactures card readers and QR code readers that pair with any Wiegand-compatible access control panel. IP67 waterproof options. Dual-frequency card readers. Dedicated MIFARE and EM proximity card readers. QR code access for visitors and members. Every reader in our range is designed and built in India.
When to use
Pre-registered visitors receive a QR code via WhatsApp or email. They scan it at the door — time-limited, single-use, no enrollment required. A QR code reader for access control eliminates the front-desk bottleneck for visitor management.
Gym members, co-working tenants, and apartment residents use a membership card or QR code for building and facility access. The reader validates membership status and tier-level access automatically.
Break rooms, parking gates, and common areas don't need face recognition. A proximity card reader handles entry at a fraction of the cost. Reserve biometric access control systems for high-security zones.
Use Fortuna's face recognition devices at the main entrance and secure zones. Use card and QR readers at internal doors, elevators, and common areas. All readers connect to the same Checkmate NxT panel — one system, multiple authentication levels.
Issue time-limited QR codes for conference attendees, contractors, or temporary workers. No card printing. No enrollment. Codes expire automatically after the access window ends.
Our range
Fortuna’s flagship QR code reader for access control. IP67 waterproof. Reads QR codes in under 200 milliseconds. Also reads EM Proximity and MIFARE cards — making it a triple-mode access control reader.

IP67 — fully dust-tight and waterproof.
Polycarbonate body, tempered glass front. Black or white.
Combines a QR code reader with a built-in access controller — no separate panel required. IoT-native, BLE-enabled, and cloud-connected. The right choice for single-door installations where deploying a Checkmate NxT panel isn’t practical.

Standalone fingerprint reader and controller. Stores 1,900 fingerprint templates. Operates in 1:N identification mode (fingerprint only) or 1:1 dual-authentication mode (MIFARE card + fingerprint). Connects to Checkmate panels via Wiegand or runs standalone with built-in relay.
Optical, scratch-proof sensor. 1,900 templates. Enrollment <2 seconds.
1:N fingerprint-only or 1:1 card + finger dual authentication.
Optional built-in MIFARE — card + fingerprint two-factor access.

Why Fortuna
Our card and QR readers connect to Checkmate NxT panels, pair with our biometric readers, and integrate with SmartFace software — all without middleware, converters, or compatibility workarounds. One vendor. Everything works together.
The MicroQR 2 is IP67 rated — fully dust-tight and protected against water immersion. Built for outdoor gates, parking entries, and weather-exposed installations that see rain, dust, and direct sun year-round.
Even if you don't use Fortuna panels, our readers work with any Wiegand-compatible access control panel on the market. Replace your existing card readers without changing your panels.
The MicroQR 2 reads QR codes, EM Proximity cards, and MIFARE cards from a single device — three authentication modes, one reader. The MicroDUAL handles both EM and MIFARE without needing two separate readers.
Part of the system
Card and QR readers are peripherals that connect to access control panels. A reader reads the credential and sends a Wiegand signal to the Checkmate NxT panel. The panel controls the door relay. SmartFace software manages access rules, logs every entry, and generates reports.
Pair card and QR readers with biometric readers for a mixed-security setup — all on the same panel and software platform:

FAQ
Yes. With Fortuna’s visitor management system, pre-registered visitors receive a time-limited QR code via WhatsApp or email. They scan it at a MicroQR 2 reader at the door. The QR code expires automatically after the visit window — no card collection needed. See visitor management.
