Why Companies use HID Proximity Card

The company ID card is often a HID card that has been made multifunctional by using a badge printer to print custom ID information on the surface of the card. The HID prox card is the same size as your driver’s license or credit card. This important card, does not only identify that you are an employee of the company; it also allows authorized employees to enter specific doors and computer network systems at certain times of certain days.

How can a small card provide so much power? The card has embedded information inside that does not have the capability of opening a door. Combined with other access components, the system works in conjunction with the card to identify the cardholder and verify that they are approved to enter the building or the computer network to conduct appropriate business.

To allow the card to work, it must be combined with an access control panel and a computer that is attached to a card reader. The system actually replaces a human security officer that monitors the coming and going of employees. With accurate, detailed reporting, the system provides reporting that management can use to monitor business activities.

The card contains embedded binary code (ones and zeros) that are specific to the card holder. Each card contains a unique number that is also logged into a database of information in a computer.

The database is also filled with specific information authorizing that card number to gain access at various times. When a card holder wishes to open the door or log on the computer, the HID card is held near or swiped through a card reader. The reader is able to extract the embedded binary code and send it on its way to the access control system. The software program is able to analyze the database and match the code to the approved access information logged into the software. If the cardholder is authorized to enter at that time, the software transmits access approval to the door or computer, and the access is granted. If the cardholder is not approved for access the system will either send a response back indicating that access has been denied or there will be no response at all.

The system is easily maintained by the security officials in the company. The database can be modified as needed for immediate change in authorization. With appropriate credentials, the appropriate company personnel can update card holder information, enable and disable card activation, and configure the needed computer or door hardware that allows access.
Management can pull various access data reports to monitor employee activities and review security issues that will increase the performance of the company.

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.
