How Hid Proximity Cards Work
Physical Access control is a key component of an organizations security infrastructure and proximity card have become an increasingly important piece of the overall physical access control solution. The essential components of a proximity card control system are a proximity card reader, a proximity card (also known as a prox card), an access control panel and a computer to manage the system. Together, these components function as a system to review user credentials and allow authorized personnel physical access.
An HID proximity card is a specific manufacturer’s brand of proximity card; in this case, the manufacturer is HID which is an acronym for Hughes IDentification Solutions which was spun off from Hughes Aircraft Company (which was founded by Howard Hughes). In any case, the term HID prox card, or HID card is often thought of as a “combined term” just as the term “Xerox copier” has become a verb whereby people “Xerox” a document.
An HID Proximity card is about the size of a driver’s license or credit card and contains embedded information that identifies the owner of the card. Two key components are the facility code and the card number. The facility code of the HID card is use a unique identifier of a location whereas the card number of the prox card is used as an individual identifier. Typically, the facility code will have multiple cards assigned to it but each individual will be assigned a unique card number (which is often transparent to them). The HID prox card can be combined with an ID badge (or ID card) into a single component so that the HID prox card can also display the individual’s picture and organization. This information can be printed used an ID card printer and then affixed to the HID prox card.
An HID Prox reader at the point of entry is used to read the prox card. The prox reader transfers the prox card information to the control panel where it is checked to see if the cardholder is authorized to enter the area at that specific time. If the prox card holder is authorized to enter the location, the HID controller sends a signal to the lock relay and the entry door will be opened.
The last component is a software program that acts as a security management console to updates to the prox card holder information, enable and disable prox cards, configure the door access hardware and provide necessary reporting about the system use (such as date/time of entry).

Proximity Card $66.91 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Proximity card (or Prox Card) is a generic name for contactless integrated circuit devices used for security access or payment systems. It can refer to the older 125 kHz devices or the newer 13.56 MHz contactless RFID cards, most commonly known as contactless smartcards. roximity cards are powered by resonant energy transfer and have a range of 03 inches in most instances. The user will usually be able to leave the card inside a wallet or purse. roximity cards use an LC circuit. An IC, capacitor, and coil are connected in parallel.

Prox $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles PROX is an acronym for PReferential OXidation, and refers to the preferential oxidation of a gas on a catalyst. The catalyser preferentially oxidises carbon monoxide (CO) using a heterogeneous catalyst placed upon a ceramic support. Catalysing agents include metals such as platinum, platinum/iron, platinum/ruthenium, gold nanoparticles as well as novel copper oxide/ceramic conglomerate catalysts. This reaction is a considerable subject area of research for fuel cell design. From the reaction of carbon monoxide with steam, carbon dioxide is evolved. The presence of CO impedes the reaction of H2/O2 and reduces the fuel cell efficiency by the absorption of CO onto the platinum anode. The PROX process allows for the reaction of CO via the water gas shift reaction (WGS), reducing CO concentration from approximately 0.51.5 in the feed gas to less than 10 ppm.
