Access Control Technologies
Credential Types
Proximity Cards & Key Fobs (Legacy Technology) Standard 125kHz proximity cards and fobs are outdated and insecure technology that should be avoided for new installations. These credentials transmit unencrypted data that can be easily cloned with inexpensive equipment available online. Attackers can copy credentials without physical access to the card, creating significant security vulnerabilities.
Security Risks of 125kHz Proximity Cards:
Easily cloned with readily available card copying devices
Unencrypted transmission allows credential interception
No mutual authentication between card and reader
Cannot be remotely deactivated if compromised
Provide false sense of security
We strongly recommend replacing legacy proximity systems with modern smart cards or mobile credentials. While we can support existing proximity card systems during transition periods, all new installations use secure credential technology.
Smart Cards (13.56MHz) – Modern Secure Standard High-frequency smart cards offer enterprise-grade security with encrypted communication and multi-application capabilities. These credentials use advanced encryption to prevent cloning and unauthorized access. Smart cards support multiple applications on a single credential (access control, cashless payments, time tracking) and provide mutual authentication between card and reader for verified security.
Ideal for: Organizations upgrading from legacy proximity systems, businesses requiring high security, facilities needing multi-application credentials, government and defense contractors.
Mobile Credentials – The Future of Access Control Transform smartphones into access credentials with Bluetooth and NFC technology. Employees use their phones to unlock doors—no cards to carry, lose, or replace. Mobile credentials offer the highest level of security with encrypted communication, biometric authentication (fingerprint/face ID), remote provisioning and deactivation, and automatic updates.
Benefits of Mobile Credentials:
Impossible to forget (everyone has their phone)
Cannot be shared or loaned without the user’s knowledge
Biometric authentication adds second factor security
Instantly provision new credentials remotely
Eliminate card printing and replacement costs
Users receive real-time access notifications
Perfect for modern, tech-forward organizations
Ideal for: Tech-forward organizations, multi-location businesses, companies seeking to eliminate card costs, organizations with remote employees, businesses prioritizing maximum security.
Biometric Access Control Fingerprint, facial recognition, and iris scanning provide the highest security by verifying identity rather than possession of a credential. Biometrics prevent credential sharing, eliminate lost or stolen credentials, and provide absolute identity verification.
Ideal for: High-security areas, data centers and server rooms, pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities, government and defense applications, areas requiring absolute identity verification.
PIN Codes Numeric keypads provide credential-free access using personal identification numbers. Often combined with cards or mobile credentials for two-factor authentication in sensitive areas.
Ideal for: Secondary authentication, areas requiring two-factor access, temporary access codes for contractors, backup access method during credential issues.
Reader Technologies
Standard Proximity Readers (Legacy) While we can support existing proximity readers during system transitions, we do not recommend proximity technology for new installations due to security vulnerabilities. Modern smart card readers provide backward compatibility when needed.
Multi-Technology Readers – Recommended Standard Support multiple credential formats (proximity for legacy transition, smart card, mobile) in a single reader, providing flexibility and future-proofing your investment. These readers allow gradual migration from insecure proximity cards to modern credentials without replacing hardware.
Benefits:
Smooth transition from legacy to secure credentials
Support employees during credential upgrades
Protect hardware investment during security improvements
Single reader supports all credential types
Long-Range Readers Hands-free access for vehicle gates and parking areas. Read credentials from 10-30 feet away for seamless entry without stopping. Available with secure smart card technology.

Secure Credentials & Best Practices
Credential Security
Not all access cards are created equal. We exclusively install systems supporting secure, encrypted credentials that prevent cloning and unauthorized duplication. Standard 125kHz proximity cards can be easily copied with equipment available online for under $50—we strongly recommend upgrading to smart cards or mobile credentials for any security-conscious application.
The Proximity Card Security Problem
Legacy 125kHz proximity cards transmit a simple ID number with no encryption. Attackers can:
Clone cards in seconds using portable copying devices
Intercept credentials from several feet away without physical contact
Create unlimited duplicates of any credential
Gain unauthorized access without detection
If you currently use proximity cards, your facility is vulnerable. We can help you transition to secure credentials.
Best Practices We Implement:
Secure Credential Technology: Smart cards or mobile credentials for all new installations
Unique Facility Codes: Prevent credentials from other buildings working in your system
Encryption: Protect credential data from interception and cloning
Multi-Factor Authentication: Combine card + PIN or mobile + biometric for high-security areas
Automatic Expiration: Set credentials to expire after specific dates
Anti-Passback: Prevent credential sharing by requiring exit before re-entry
Duress Codes: Silent alarm activation during forced entry situations
Regular Security Audits: Review access logs and credential inventory quarterly
