West Sacramento, CA - ID Card Group, a leading provider of ID card printers, ID systems, supplies, and accessories has published four helpful resources for choosing and ordering HID cards.
Proximity cards and credentials use contactless integrated circuit technology to transmit security data or payment information securely from a distance - without card swiping.
HID prox cards and HID iClass contactless credentials are the gold standard in proximity technology.
But, with a multitude of standard to customizable options, HID prox cards can be complicated to order.
How an HID Proximity (Prox) Card is Read outlines the basics of an HID access control system and its elements and diagrams how a card is read and authenticated.
How to Program HID Proximity Cards helps customers understand the information required in the ordering process - including card formatting choices and appearance options. An example order for one of the most popular configurations, the HID 1326 Clamshell Prox Card, is provided for reference.
The HID Prox Card Programming Checklist highlights the most important considerations when ordering and programming HID prox cards. It helps customers determine their specific facility requirements and preferences before ordering.
Compare HID Proximity Cards compares the read ranges and other select features of the most popular HID Prox cards, keyfobs, and tags. An all-inclusive HID Prox Card comparison chart, covering all 125 kHz Proximity cards, is available for download.
ID Card Group will publish similar comparison resources for HID iClass credentials and Indala proximity cards in the near future.
