ZKTeco vs Suprema vs Hikvision — Which is Best in UAE?
We sell all three, so we have no reason to push one. Here is how they actually differ on the things that decide the purchase: price per door, matching speed, outdoor durability, and how badly the native software locks you in.
| ZKTeco | Suprema | Hikvision | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical price per terminal | AED 450 – 2,200 | AED 1,450 – 4,200 | AED 380 – 2,600 |
| Fingerprint accuracy on worn hands | Good | Best in class | Adequate |
| Face recognition throughput | Very good | Excellent | Excellent |
| Outdoor / IP-rated range | Limited | IP67 / IK08 | Some models |
| Spare parts in the UAE | Widest | Good | Good |
| Open protocol for third-party software | ADMS — open | API, custom work | API, custom work |
| Native software attendance depth | BioTime — decent | BioStar 2 — strong on access | Thin on attendance |
| Best for | Most UAE offices and sites | High-security and outdoor | Existing Hikvision CCTV estates |
Indicative AED prices, device only. We sell all three brands and have no incentive to favour one.
