Higher Security In The Workplace

By Marcus Brigg


Do you still need to use keys and passwords to access some critical areas of your building and networks? Maybe it's time to look into the latest technology which increases productivity but also keeps security for both your staff and company with an HID card.

In the role of a key is the information stored on the magnetic strip of every HID proximity card. An HID card works in conjunction with an access control panel on the doors. The code embedded in the HID proximity card is a sequence of binary numbers which are ones and zero's. Whether the card holder will get access to a restricted area or not is decided when the card is swiped or inserted in a control panel and decoded.

If entering critical areas of the building or networks of your company still depends on using keys and passwords, maybe the time is right to look into the latest technology available. Not only does it increase productivity, it also keeps security for your staff and company with an HID card.

An HID card can be used as a visual identification as well, when supplied with data such as photo and printed information of who the cardholder is. This is one of the more popular versions of HID cards. When security checks are done by real people, this works well. Always cost effective to have two features on one HID proximity card, serving a dual purpose.

HID cards have several options to keep them safely attached to your person. Badges, clips, rings and lanyards are all options to consider when you are thinking of the way your HID proximity cards will be used. It is a good idea to have a transparent case for an HID card if it has a photo ID with it, because that way it's easily visible.

You won't have to swipe your HID proximity card at the control panel if it's a no contact card.

You should consider looking into the convenience and effective way HID cards can make your company a more secure place. Keep your company secure and save your money with HID proximity cards which are both simple to make and cost effective over the long term. Bring your business into the twenty first century and embrace the ease, reliability and effective security that a HID proximity card can give you and your business.
