| Contactless Identification | Users don’t have to touch the scanner. | Hygiene |
| User Identification Linked to Mobile IMEI | COSEC Server ties every user with his/her mobile’s unique IMEI number. | Security |
| Server Encrypted QR Code | Security | |
| Customer Created QR Codes | Organizations create their own QR Codes by embedding their 2-byte key. | Security |
| 24-bit Encryption for Mobile to Server Communication | Mobile to server communication is encrypted with the provision to use customer-owned certificates. | Security |
| Eliminate Card or Biometric Readers | Eliminate expensive devices, panels, wiring, installation and AMC costs. | Cost |
| Multiple QR Codes | Multiple QR Codes can be used to speed up ingress/egress to avoid congestion and queues. | Speed and Throughput |
| Printed QR Codes at Entry and Exit Points | Reduces setup time.
Works where biometric or card readers are not easy to deploy. |
Faster Installation |
How it Works:
- User has to scan QR Code given by the door using COSEC APTA application from a Mobile phone registered with the COSEC CENTRA server.
- Camera will start by twisting a mobile phone or opening it from the COSEC APTA application.
- COSEC APTA sends user event to COSEC ARC door controller for user access verification.
- Upon verification, COSEC ARC door controller opens the door lock connected to its relay port.
For a Cost Effective Solution
This solution eliminates reader as well as door controller costs.

- COSEC ARC
- COSEC PANEL LITE V2 (Optional – required if used COSEC ARC V1)
Guidelines to Generate QR Code:
- Encrypt the key through https://www.tools4noobs.com/online_tools/encrypt.
- The key should contain the following code. This information needs to be encrypted:
{“version”:”1″,”ip”:”IP of Door Controller/PANEL LITE”,”port”:”80″,”pdid”:”0″,”mode”:”0″}
Where:
Set Mode: “0” for Entry, “1” for Exit
pdid: Set “0” in case of Direct Door
Insert “Door ID” in case of Panel Door
Version: Set “1” by Default
Port: Set “80” by Default
- Once you generate the encrypted string, you may generate the QR Code through https://www.the-qrcode-generator.com/.
