Official documentation

The AF64 is Verkada's all-in-one access station for a single opening. It combines a door controller, multi-technology credential reader, 5.5-inch touchscreen, and 5MP wide-angle camera. Supported entry methods include keycards, mobile NFC, Bluetooth, PIN, and Face Unlock. Face matching and liveness checks are processed locally on the device using 3D and infrared sensing; administrators control enrollment and deletion through Verkada's tools.

Installation decisions still matter even though the functions share one enclosure. The AF64 uses PoE+, connects by Ethernet, and can mount on a wall, single-gang box, or mullion with the appropriate hardware. Its IP65 and IK06 ratings help determine whether a proposed doorway falls within the published environmental and impact limits. It can operate as its own controller or connect as a reader to a Verkada access controller, so the existing door hardware and system design need to be confirmed before quoting.

HTS will scope the credential policy, mounting arrangement, PoE+ budget, lock and request-to-exit wiring, and required license. Face Unlock may also be subject to customer policy or local restrictions, so it should be treated as an explicit design choice rather than assumed for every site. The quote should include the station and any angle, mullion, relay, cabling, or installation items required for the actual opening.

How HTS deploys it

The AF64 is a single-opening decision, so HTS scopes it as a door, not a device: credential policy first (card, mobile NFC, Bluetooth, PIN, Face Unlock, or a combination), then the mounting arrangement (wall, single-gang, mullion, or angled), then the wiring behind the opening — electric strike or maglock, request-to-exit, door position, and any security relay. The station needs PoE+ (802.3at), and the budget is confirmed before the order.

The AF64 can act as its own one-door controller or as a reader on a Verkada access controller; the right answer depends on how the rest of the site is built, and it is cheaper to decide before the quote than after the install. Face Unlock is treated as an explicit design choice — a policy decision as much as a technical one — and customer policy and local rules are confirmed before enabling it. The station arrives pre-configured to the site design, and turn-up ends with the receiving workflow tested: who the call goes to and who can let people in.

What it costs to run over three years

One Access Station Pro licence per station keeps it in Command; the hardware is one-time. Figures are HTS catalog prices from the 2026-09-21 snapshot.

  • AF64 hardware, one-time: $1,899.05.
  • Access Station Pro licence, per station: $284.05 one year / $854.05 three years / $1,424.05 five years.
  • Worked example: one AF64 on a three-year licence runs $1,899.05 + $854.05 = $2,753.10 over three years — about $76 per month per opening before door hardware.
  • Lock choice is the quiet recurring consideration: a maglock draws power continuously where an electric strike draws mostly on entry, and that lands on the PoE+ budget and the energy bill rather than on the licence.
  • Adding openings scales linearly — one station, one licence.

What else this needs

  • One Access Station Pro licence (LIC-AF-*) per station.
  • PoE+ (802.3at) to the mounting point, not standard PoE.
  • Door hardware: electric strike or maglock, request-to-exit sensor, door-position switch, and cabling — the station controls the door but does not include it.
  • Credentials for the people using it: card stock, or Verkada Pass on their phones.
  • A documented decision on Face Unlock — policy first, configuration second.
  • Where the opening sits in a larger Verkada access deployment: standalone or reader-on-controller, decided at design time.

How to choose

  • Face Unlock, card, mobile NFC, Bluetooth, PIN, or a multi-factor combination
  • Standalone single-door control or reader connection to another Verkada controller
  • Wall, single-gang, mullion, or angled mounting
  • PoE+ capacity, door wiring, and any required security relay
