Product Description
ID Tech Solutions supplies and leading trader of ultra high-quality Proximity Cards also known as Proximity Access Cards. These Cards are read-only cards and also contactless with an antenna embedded inside to make it easily read by the proximity reader. These cards are widely used in schools, colleges, campuses, offices for attendance, access control, time recorder, security, ticketing, toll payments, and other custom uses like identification. Apart from this these cards are widely in demand for the health care industry, banking industry, entertainment, transportation, access control, etc. Cards provided by ID Tech Solutions are durable, reliable and rugged and comparatively hard as compared to normal smart cards or chip cards.
These cards are also known as Prox Cards and generally are of low-frequency 125Khz that features metallic antenna coil inside the top layer and bottom layer of card that stores cardholder data. This information can be easily read by the proximity reader or proximity sensor when the card is within the range of the reader. The proximity cards are contactless cards and they have an antenna embedded in the card. However, the proximity cards are read-only cards and the information on these cards cannot be manipulated. The proximity cards also use radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. The applications of these cards include access control, identification, and security.
Superior Compatibility and Versatile PersonalizationHID proximity cards seamlessly integrate with all HID Prox readers and widely adopted access control solutions, making them an ideal choice for businesses of all sizes. Both sides are printable-thermal or dye sublimation-catering to a range of personalization needs from simple logos to detailed photo IDs. Additional security features, including anti-counterfeit options and slot punch, elevate protection and organizational branding.
Durable Construction and Extended LifespanEngineered from robust PVC or PVC/PET composite, each card is not only waterproof and shockproof but also retains encoded data for over a decade. With a read cycle exceeding 100,000 uses and functionality maintained across extreme temperatures (-40C to 70C), these cards are perfectly suited for challenging office and facility environments.
Effortless Operation and ReliabilityOperating at 125 kHz, these passive proximity cards require no external power source. With a consistent read range of 2.5-8.5 cm (depending on reader), users benefit from reliable, contactless entry. Programming can be performed either at the factory or on-site, allowing for flexible deployment across diverse security infrastructures.
FAQ's of hid proximity cards:
Q: How do HID proximity cards operate within an access control system?
A: HID proximity cards use 125 kHz RFID technology and a contactless chip and antenna to communicate with compatible HID Prox readers. When held near a reader (2.5-8.5 cm), the card is activated and transmits encrypted data for secure access authorization without needing physical contact or an external power supply.
Q: What customization options are available for these proximity cards?
A: You can personalize these cards with photo ID, organizational branding, or anti-counterfeit features. Both sides of the card can be printed using thermal transfer or dye sublimation. Inkjet, thermal, or laser printing methods allow for individual data or graphics, and slot punching is available on request.
Q: When should I choose PVC or composite PVC/PET material for my cards?
A: Choose PVC for standard use in controlled environments, while composite PVC/PET is recommended for high-traffic or harsh environments due to its enhanced durability and resistance to wear, especially when frequent swiping or rough handling is expected.
Q: Where can these HID proximity cards be used?
A: These cards are suitable for office, building, and facility access control applications and integrate with nearly all HID Prox readers and most widely used access control systems in India and globally, making them versatile for secure entry management in various industries.
Q: What is the card programming process?
A: Cards can be programmed either at the manufacturing facility or in the field. They support custom formatting and site codes to match your access system requirements, allowing for flexibility during setup or future system expansions.
Q: How can I benefit from using HID proximity cards in my facility?
A: By implementing HID proximity cards, you gain secure, reliable, and contactless access management. Their durable, waterproof, and shockproof design ensures minimal maintenance and long-term use, while customization options enhance both security and company image.
Q: What is the typical data retention and card lifespan?
A: Each card retains its encoded data for more than 10 years and supports over 100,000 read cycles, ensuring lasting performance and reducing replacement frequency in active environments.
