Since SDK is the communication tool for Special Devices and corresponding
Software, we divide it into two groups.
1. All the XX.dll files, the tool for ZK devices and ZK Softwares
2. The SDK Development Manual, the tool for developing your own software to
communicate with ZK devices
If you use ZK devices with ZK softwares, please register the SDK files(XX.dll)
If you want to develop your own software to communicate with ZK devices,
please check the below detailed information:
 Development Manual
We provide three types of Development Manual for different ZK devices,
please check your devices and select the correct one
 Demo
