Access control terminals increasingly use QR codes alongside cards and passwords. Visitors may receive a temporary QR code on their phones, while employees or contractors may use printed access passes.

The XT738M allows equipment manufacturers to add this scanning function directly inside the terminal.

Scan Mobile and Printed Access Codes

XT738M supports QR codes displayed on mobile phone screens as well as codes printed on paper or access cards.

It can be used to read:

• Visitor QR codes

• Employee QR codes

• Temporary access passes

• Appointment and reservation codes

• Printed entry tickets

The scanner decodes the code and sends its content to the customer’s mainboard. The access control system then checks whether the code is valid and decides whether to open the door or gate.

Bare-Board Design for Embedded Installation

XT738M is supplied as a bare scanner board rather than a complete desktop scanner. It can be installed behind the scanning window of an access control terminal, visitor registration device or turnstile reader.

The compact board design allows the scanner to become part of the finished equipment without adding an external scanner housing.

Hardware for Customer-Developed Systems

XTIOT supplies the XT738M scanner hardware and communication commands. The customer’s software manages QR-code generation, identity records, access permissions and door-control logic.

For project evaluation, customers can send clear photos of their actual QR codes and information about the terminal’s installation space. XTIOT can test the codes and confirm whether XT738M is suitable before ordering.
