HID CARD

HID NEDİR?

What is HID card? Where is it used? What benefits does it provide? Let's answer these and similar questions together.

RFID HID, also known as a human interface device, is a processing device that interacts directly with humans and can transfer data. The term 'HID' is often used in conjunction with USB-HID or Bluetooth HID. The term was first used by Mike Van Flandern of Microsoft.

WHERE ARE HID CARDS USED?

HID cards or access control cards are among the most popular cards used in the world. Because it is recognised as the gold standard in the industry. These cards offer unrivalled encryption, security options and high technology. HID cards, a versatile card type, are used in many areas.

• Colleges
• University campuses
• Offices
• Warehouses
• Shared buildings

WHERE ARE HID CARDS USED?

Most HID cards contain an RFID chip inside. When the chip inside is in range, it sends a signal to the card reader via its antenna. After this information to the reader, it decides whether the cardholder can enter or not. These cards usually operate at two frequencies, low and high. Low frequency is 125Khz and high frequency is known as 13.56Mhz (NFC). Cards with high frequency are more preferred. This is because it is more secure and protects privacy. Apart from these, Ultra High Frequency is 840-960 Mhz (UHF).

WHAT IS A HID READER?

HID card reader is also known as access card reader. The reader is usually positioned near the place to enter and exit. Since most HID readers can be used outdoors, they are manufactured to be resistant to external factors and weather conditions.

WHY HID CARDS ARE USED?

HID is among the leading card types. Another feature of these cards, which are very easy to use, is that they can be easily printed on them. These cards, which can contain more than one technology when necessary, are very popular. These cards are called hybrid cards. These cards are cards produced with the idea that Alien and Mifare chips can be used with a single card in different applications. In this way, a single card can be used in many different applications in a single area.

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF HID CARDS?

Let's take a closer look at a few HID card types. iCLASS SE: They are the most suitable cards for both indoor and outdoor areas. It has high data storage capability. Depending on the environment, it is detected by the reader up to 5 metres. iCLASS: This card is a high-frequency, high-security, contactless smart card type. It is best suited for organisations requiring versatile technologies that are in the process of upgrading their existing access control system to a more up-to-date solution, but still cannot use one technology or one card type for all departments or locations. iCLASS Seos: HID Global's dual technology smart card is the perfect solution for environments where legacy reader technology exists and a transition to advanced, more secure technology is desired. This versatile smart card works with all legacy iCLASS, iCLASS SE and HID Signo readers. This makes it the perfect tool to facilitate the transition to more secure access control in almost any situation.
