Datasheet iDFace Max
Overview
The Kentix iDFace Max enables contactless access control via facial recognition in combination with an integrated RFID reader for MIFARE® DESFire® and MIFARE® Classic chips. The system is designed for use on individual doors and is also suitable for outdoor use thanks to its robust housing.
The iDFace Max combines a camera system, RFID reader, display, and signaling functions into a single device. Identification is performed via facial recognition or an RFID tag, while a 7-inch TFT color display shows status information.
In addition, the device has an integrated intercom system that enables direct audio communication via IP networks. This means that the iDFace Max can be seamlessly integrated into existing telephone systems and used as a door intercom.
The connection is made via Ethernet with PoE, which ensures both data transmission and power supply via a standard patch cable. The iDFace Max is used in combination with the Kentix AccessManager.

Assembly instructions
The correct mounting height of the device is crucial for reliable detection and optimum functionality.
- Personal operation (e.g. access control at doors):
The top edge of the device should be mounted at a height of 1.50 m above the finished floor level (FFB).
This position ensures optimum detection of faces and convenient operation for most users. - Vehicle operation (e.g., access control at barriers or gates):
— this mode is currently still EXPERIMENTAL —
The top edge of the device should be installed at a height of 1.35 m above the ground.
This ensures reliable detection of approaching vehicles.
Notes on installation:
- The appliance must be mounted vertically.
- The detection area must not be obscured by structural elements or other objects.
- Before final installation, ensure that the cabling is correctly routed and connected.
A different mounting height can impair detection performance and operability.
