HID Proximity is a technology used in access control systems to identify and authenticate individuals or objects without requiring physical contact. It operates at a frequency of 125 kHz and uses magnetic induction to transmit and receive data.
Key features:
- Contactless technology: No physical contact is required between the card and the reader.
- Low frequency: Operates at 125 kHz.
- Simple and cost-effective: Ideal for basic access control applications.
- Durability: Cards are typically made from durable materials like PVC.
Common applications of HID Proximity:
- Access Control: Granting or denying access to buildings, rooms, or restricted areas.
- Time and Attendance: Tracking employee attendance.
- Event Management: Controlling access to events or venues.
- Asset Tracking: Monitoring the location of equipment or assets.
It is a widely used technology for basic access control needs due to its simplicity, reliability, and cost effectiveness.
