Built for system integrators and kiosk manufacturers, the RD500 ships with a standard USB 2.0 interface and a full source-code SDK for rapid embedding into self-service terminals, e-KYC platforms, and access-control systems. The device handles the entire document-reading pipeline — OCR of the VIZ, MRZ decoding, and contactless chip reading — and exposes parsed fields to your host application on Windows via a clean API/SDK. Its 128 × 96 mm capture area accommodates full-page passports and ID cards, while the 183 × 148 × 59 mm chassis is compact enough for kiosk bezel mounting without custom optics. For OEM projects, new document recognition can be customized quickly, shortening time-to-market for vertical-specific solutions.
Key Features:
Full Source-Code SDK: C/C++/C#/Java/Python-friendly API for Windows host integration.
Kiosk-Ready Form Factor: 128 × 96 mm capture window and USB 2.0 single-cable connection for self-service terminal embedding.
Broad Document Coverage: ICAO 9303 passports, ID cards, Hong Kong/Macau travel permits, with rapid customization for new document types.
Stable OEM Hardware: Anti-static, corrosion-resistant design rated for -10°C to +50°C operating environments.
