HID® OCR601-Mk2

Half page MRZ reader for passports, ID cards and contactless cards

Overview

Specifications

Key Applications & Features

The OCR601-Mk2, part of HID's ID document reader portfolio, is a half-page Machine-Readable Zone (MRZ) data reader with RFID functionality to simultaneously decode the contents of an ePassport or contactless smart card.

The OCR601-Mk2 automatically detects when a document with machine readable data has been inserted, and its advanced recognition engine provides highly accurate and instant data capture and decoding.

By integrating the contactless RFID reader/writer, the device simultaneously and efficiently captures and processes data fields, including the holder’s image, from the chip. This combined functionality provides a robust alternative to full-page, multi-illumination ID scanners such as the HID ATOM™ ID scanner.

The compact design of this half-page MRZ reader enables easy integration into self-service kiosks and gates or for use as a desktop device. Its rugged manufacturing ensures years of indoor and outdoor, frontline and public use.
