Description
ico-plus ico-minus
The Verkada AD34 is a cloud-connected door reader designed for security and IT teams that need flexible, modern access control across corporate, healthcare, education, and commercial facilities. It accepts a broad range of credentials — including 125 KHz proximity cards, Verkada DESFire EV3 badges, MIFARE DESFire cards, the Verkada Pass app, mobile NFC, and Apple Wallet — so organizations can support legacy and cutting-edge credentials on the same reader. Secure Channel OSDP v2 over RS-485 protects communications with the access controller, while Bluetooth Intent Unlock adds a convenient yet deliberate unlock method requiring both proximity and a physical gesture. Rated IP65 and IK08, with an operating temperature range of -40° to 65°C, the AD34 handles outdoor and demanding indoor environments equally well, and its snap-in form factor ships with both single gang and mullion mounting plates for straightforward installation.
