This works like something you might see in Star Trek! Hold a small fob or card near the reader, from 4" to 24" depending on the model, and an electric strike or magnetic lock opens! The reader can be mounted inside or behind the wall in areas where vandalism is a problem. Some of the newer readers even have a keypad built in to use for programming or PIN!

For security managers, dealers, integrators and OEMs, proximity cards and readers are recognized as the industry standard for physical access control.

The products are robust, affordable, and seamlessly integrate with access control systems. Featuring security coding, the high-quality 125 kHz Proximity readers combines intelligent programming technology with interchangeable components including uniform modules and a range of stylish cover designs.

On the systems we sell, programming is actually done right at the reader itself using either the little proximity keys that come with the reader or by using the number buttons (keypad) built into the unit. A laptop or PC can also be used to program the system and do audit trails (who entered and when). If you need to have the type of installation where you need to monitor who goes in and who goes out please see our multi door proximity systems area. Most of the multi door systems can be configured this way so one reader from either side of the door can be read. These systems are very cost effective since unlike conventional keys, proximity cards and fobs can be re-used and re-issued.
