Access Control

Create your own access control badges to secure your premises and keep everyone safe. Card-based access control systems are effective solutions for office buildings, schools, government facilities, and event venues.

Healthcare access card with magnetic stripe

Limit access to high-security areas of your premises by issuing ID badges that will be swiped or waved in front of a reader. Magnetic cards are a popular choice as they are affordable and easy to set up. You can personalize the front of the card with the cardholder’s information and encode the magnetic stripe with access data.

Access card with smart contact chip

For higher levels of security, choose smart cards. With contact and contactless smart cards, the data is securely encoded into an embedded chip. To store data and to be read, a contact smart card must be inserted into a reader, when contactless smart cards only need to be waved within range of a reader.

QuickShip Proximity card waved at a reader.

Another option is proximity cards. Proximity cards are read-only devices that have an embedded antenna. The cardholder data can be read when the proximity card is passed within range of a reader. The range of operation for proximity cards varies typically from 2.5" to 20" (63.5 mm to 508 mm) depending on the reader.

IDSecurityOnline offers its own line of Proximity cards called QuickShip. QuickShip proximity cards feature the exact same specs as HID cards but ship within 2 business days, which is 4 times faster than for HID.
