With the use of special encoder card printer such as Fargo HDP5000 ID, the HID cards while printing is encoded. Along with RFID antennas, the HID proximity cards also have radio receivers fitted in the card which contains the encoded information. When the HID proximity card is placed near to the proximity reader the encoded information present in the antenna which is embedded in the card is transferred to the proximity reader and further undergoes authentication process. The unique feature of HID cards is that these cards do not require to be touched with the proximity reader for the exchange of information. On the other hand, it is necessary for the smart cards to be in contact with the reader to exchange information and get authenticated. The microprocessor is present in a small chip which is embedded in the card, and when the chip comes in contact with the proximity reader, the proximity card gets verified. Features of HID proximity cards HID key tags and proximity key fobs and HID proximity cards are reliable, easy and convenient to use. The proximity technology employed in the HID card provides faster and accurate reading with 4” to 24” inches of read range. However, typically the read range is dependent upon the type of proximity reader in use. As these cards do not require any physical contact for their access, hence they demand less maintenance. The HID cards work on RFID technology of 125 kHz. To prevent the card duplication, HID proximity cards track the sequences of the card number, and the ultimate user is assured that the HID cards is standardized and can be used by proximity readers globally. And thus it adds to flexibility as a single card can be utilized across multiple office locations throughout the world with the assurance that it will be safe from duplication. Moreover, the ultimate user as per its requirement can also select the access control system (in both software and hardware form), while using the standard HID proximity card. Not only this the ultimate users can also customize the HID cards in the desired size and format. And thus all these features add to the versatile, flexible and robust nature of the cards. Advantage of HID proximity cards As the read range of HID proximity cards is large, significant benefits are associated with these cards. For gaining physical access control, HID proximity cards are designed to industry standards and are the preferred choice of security organizations, OEMs, dealers, integrators, etc. The HID cards are reliable, reasonable and effortlessly integrate with physical access control mechanism. http://www.freeseotools.es/article-rewriter/output Article 15 The basic information of proximity cards Basically the usage of proximity cards is made by various companies and the main purpose of using these cards is to keep a check over the physical approach of the employees of the companies. According to this policy each and every one of the employees is granted a proximity card and all the employees are required to produce this card before the card reader. In fact this is the proximity reader which after receiving the information of the employee in the form of ID transfers it to the central computer. Only after that, it is decided whether to allow the person to go inside or not. This method is very sophisticated and well programmed in order to check the entry of people especially in the high security areas. Proximity cards are also known as the prox cards in their short form. This method of entry is concerned with the limited use of integrated circuits which are commonly being used in many places for the maintenance of security. These cards are also referred to as the smart cards. Using proximity cards Proximity cards as mentioned before are also known as the smart cards and the basic purpose of using them and allotting them to the employees is to adopt the dual advantage of having two kinds of access controls of systems. These are called as the logical access control and the physical access control for both the smart cards as well as ISO printable cards. Among the various uses of these cards, some important places where the smart cards along with card readers are allocated and fixed are in the enterprises where they provide an access to the computer systems. In addition to this, these systems also find their use in the networking systems and in the resources of organizations. Even some sophisticated organizations having an advanced system of security also adopt the system of ISO printable cards. Proximity Card Reader A card reader is a very important device and in fact its function is so important that without its installation the procedure of security checking cannot be completed. The proximity card reader is also sometimes referred to as the proximity reader. Installation of the card readers is not a complicated task. In fact it is a very simple method which adopts a simple procedure and mechanism. Although the installation and functioning of the proximity reader might be simple but the scientific procedure behind all this is quite systematic and involves various steps of the control system. In fact same procedures are used for the reading of smart cards and ISO proximity cards. Proximity key fobs The Proximity key fobs are the things which need to be protected in the smart keys or smart cards. In fact these are the security codes or messages which are different for each smart card and should be kept hidden and secret. These key fobs are basically related with the cars and are used by the car drivers when they apply them to lock, unlock and drive the cars. The Proximity key fobs are always kept pocketed while locking and unlocking. In some cases the operating of Proximity key fobs is automatic and does not require manual operation.
