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.
