Meet the Acre Reader Portfolio

NGCR Readers

Rugged. Refined. Ready for anything.

Designed for challenging environments, NGCR readers combine a sleek metal finish with IK09 impact resistance and IP65 protection – making them ideal for compliance-driven and outdoor installations.
These readers support MIFARE DESFire EV1, EV2, and EV3, and integrate access control with intrusion workflows, offering advanced features like card/PIN arming, real-time OLED display feedback, and multicolor light frames to guide users confidently.

They’re built to stand up – and stand out.

Best for: Legacy upgrades, outdoor installs, integrated access + intrusion, compliance-driven environments

Multi-Tech Readers

Bridging legacy credentials and modern mobile access

Multi-Tech Readers are designed to support evolving credential technologies while maintaining compatibility with existing environments. This allows organizations to modernize access control deployments without requiring immediate credential replacement.

A single reader supports:

125 kHz credentials

13.56 MHz smart cards

NFC and Bluetooth mobile credentials

Mobile Wallet credentials

This flexibility enables organizations to introduce new authentication methods while continuing to support existing credentials, making Multi-Tech Readers well suited for phased upgrades and evolving access strategies.

Best for: phased upgrades, mobile credential strategies, and deployments balancing legacy and modern access methods.

Secure-Touch Readers

Premium aesthetics. Touchless confidence.

Among the slimmest on the market, Secure-Touch Readers deliver both form and function with glass fronts, metal frames, and advanced technology built-in.
They support both low- and high-frequency credentials, including ACT legacy formats, and enable secure communication through OSDP v2.2 or Wiegand. Tested across ACTpro, Omnis, and other Acre systems, they’re as secure as they are sophisticated.

For organizations that care about brand experience as much as security, Secure-Touch delivers without compromise.

Best for: Touchless entry, high-security applications, design-focused spaces
