HID Prox tag is a type of proximity card used for access control and other applications. It operates at a frequency of 125 kHz and are typically used in conjunction with proximity readers.
Key features of HID Prox tags:
- Low-frequency: It operates at 125 kHz.
- Passive technology: Derives power from the reader’s signal.
- Limited data storage: Typically used for simple applications like access control.
- Durability: Made from durable materials like PVC.
Common applications for HID Prox tags:
- 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.
HID Prox tags are a cost-effective and reliable option for basic access control needs. However, for more complex applications or higher security requirements, other RFID technologies like MIFARE or iCLASS may be more suitable.
