In the access control and time attendance field, facial recognition and fingerprint recognition devices have fallen into severe homogenization competition—product functions are converging, technological barriers are blurred, and channel partners are forced into a price war of low-price bidding, continuously squeezing profit margins. In response to this industry predicament, HFSecurity officially launched the RA08 multimodal biometric time and attendance terminal, integrating facial recognition, palm vein recognition, and NFC, and simultaneously introduced four major safeguards—highly competitive tiered agency pricing, rolling reserves of a single core chip and sensor, strict regional protection policies, and a complete set of mature marketing materials—building a profit moat for channel partners from four dimensions: pricing, supply, region, and marketing.
Biometric technology has become the mainstream of time and attendance access control equipment, with facial recognition alone capturing a significant market share in time and attendance machines and integrated access control systems. However, the expansion of the market has not allowed all participants to share the benefits. After years of development, facial and fingerprint recognition technologies have matured, with well-established supply chains and lowered entry barriers, leading to a surge of manufacturers and highly homogenized products. In bidding and channel sales, price has become the primary competitive factor, forcing distributors to participate in bidding with extremely low or even zero profit margins, surviving only on meager after-sales service and installation fees.
Meanwhile, end-user pain points regarding facial and fingerprint recognition remain unresolved—fingerprint recognition is affected by peeling, dampness, and dirt on the fingers, while facial recognition is affected by lighting, masks, and angles. Users are willing to pay a premium for products that truly address these pain points, but distributors lack differentiated, high-value products to penetrate the market.
The HFSecurity RA08 multimodal biometric attendance terminal integrates facial recognition, palm vein recognition, and NFC card swiping, covering diverse needs across different scenarios and user groups with a single device.
Facial Recognition: Supports accurate recognition and liveness detection in various lighting conditions, effectively resisting forgery using photos and videos, enabling contactless and rapid access.
Palm vein recognition: This is the core differentiating feature of the RA08. This technology uses near-infrared light to read the distribution of subcutaneous veins in the palm for identity authentication. Veins are an internal physiological feature of the human body, hidden beneath the skin of the palm, making them extremely difficult to replicate or forge. Furthermore, they can only be read by a living person and are unaffected by peeling skin, moisture, dirt, or factors such as light changes or wearing a mask. The global revenue of palm vein recognition modules was approximately RMB 2.351 billion in 2025, and the palm vein biometric market was valued at US$1.28 billion in 2025, projected to grow to US$3.52 billion by 2032, with a CAGR of 15.50%. The RA08 directly brings this rapidly growing blue ocean technology sector into the product portfolios of its channel partners.
NFC card swiping: Retaining traditional card swiping habits, meeting the access needs of different user groups.
HFSecurity understands that the profit margin of its channel partners is the cornerstone of long-term cooperation. To this end, the company has officially launched four major safeguard measures, building a comprehensive profit protection system for partners across four dimensions: pricing, supply, region, and marketing:
HFSecurity provides partners with a highly competitive tiered agency pricing system. As procurement volume increases and unit costs continue to decrease, partners have ample pricing flexibility and profit margins in project bidding. Regardless of project size, partners can achieve substantial profit returns while ensuring a high success rate.
Supply chain stability is the lifeline of project delivery. HFSecurity has secured a 12-month rolling reserve of core chips and sensors. Regardless of fluctuations in the global supply chain, partners' project delivery will not be affected, eliminating concerns about cost overruns and delivery risks caused by supply disruptions or price increases.
HFSecurity implements a strict regional protection policy, severely cracking down on cross-regional sales. Each contracted partner enjoys exclusive operating rights within their authorized territory, eliminating concerns about price chaos of the same brand's products eroding profits in different regions. Regional protection empowers partners to invest in market development and resource expansion, truly achieving "rewards for hard work."
HFSecurity provides partners with a full suite of mature marketing materials, including product brochures, solution white papers, demonstration videos, tender document templates, and case studies. Partners can quickly launch market promotions without building a marketing system from scratch, shortening the sales cycle and reducing customer acquisition costs.
The fierce competition in the facial recognition and fingerprint access control market stems from the erosion of profits caused by product homogenization. The HFSecurity RA08 three-in-one multimodal attendance terminal, with palm vein recognition as its core differentiating technology, provides partners with a powerful tool to escape price wars. Four guarantees, covering pricing, supply, regional coverage, and marketing, provide systematic protection for partners' profit margins.
HFSecurity cordially invites global channel partners to join us in opening up a new blue ocean of biometric access control and attendance systems with differentiated products and systematic guarantees.
