HID Access Cards

When deciding to install an access card system at your place of business one thing to remember to invest in is an ID card system which includes ID card software. There are several card printers to choose from but when you are integrating proximity technology into your security systems. There are a few proximity card makers out there but one in particular comes to mind, HID. HID brand proximity access cards have numerous applications in many businesses. From timekeeping to keeping sensitive materials secure in different areas, proximity cards can be programmed to do what you need them to do.

HID access cards are available with several options to cover those security needs. The popular ISOProx card is one of the simplest cards available with proximity technology. They are available in the standard 30millimeter thickness and are ISO 7810 compliant. This card has the ability to be printed on using one of many different ID card printer systems. With the perfect surface to print directly, you can print quality photo IDs using these standard PVC as well as composite polyester/PVC cards. The composite polyester/PVC cards are better for those cards that will be used frequently.

ISOProx cards are also very versatile when it comes to adding additional security features. Enhancing these cards with anti-counterfeiting visual security such as holograms, fluorescent inks, custom logos and even micro printing can make spotting real cards even easier. There are several ID card software packages that can add these simple features with ease. These cards are also versatile when it comes to orientation, whether the slot hole is punched vertically or even horizontally, it goes with any ID card template.

Most proximity card providers also offer lifetime warranties for their products. This means if it breaks they will replace it. They stand by their products quality. Another product made by HID is DuoProx. This offers the same technology as ISOProx ID cards but with the added benefits of magnetic strips as well as being able to direct print a photo ID onto a card with proximity technology inside. This card is still ISO 7810 compliant and is available in the usual 30 millimeter credit card sized blank PVC and composite polyester/PVC cards.

The surface of these cards is still ideal for creating the perfect graphic quality you would expect from your ID card software and printer system. You can still integrate the additional security features such as holograms, UV fluorescent inks, and micro printing that can be used to increase security by decreasing the ability to be copied by unauthorized users. Adding a laminate will also keep it safe from the environment such as rain and sun.

Adding one of many ID accessories can also reduce its chance of being lost or stolen. Adding many of the available features to upgrade your security systems, HID access cards can be versatile in any business or organization. No matter the level of security that you want to add to your office building, adding proximity ID cards will be the first step in making sure the secure areas are kept safe from unauthorized personnel. This means that those confidential files are kept confidential.
