FAQ
What access control systems is this card compatible with?
This HID Crescendo 144K FIPS Seos 8K Prox card is specifically designed for compatibility with HID Physical Access Control Systems (PACS). It works with HID readers and controllers that support the Seos platform and 8K proximity technology, making it suitable for organizations using HID infrastructure for secure facility access management.
What does FIPS 201-2 compliance mean for this card?
FIPS 201-2 compliance indicates this card meets the Federal Information Processing Standards for personal identity verification. This certification ensures the card satisfies federal government requirements for secure identity credentials, making it appropriate for government facilities, contractors, and organizations requiring standardized security protocols for physical access control.
What is the significance of the 144K designation?
The 144K designation refers to the card's memory capacity of 144 kilobytes. This substantial storage allows the card to host multiple applications, credentials, and security certificates simultaneously. Organizations can use this capacity for multi-purpose deployments where a single card serves for physical access, logical access, and other secure identification functions.
What warranty coverage does this card include?
This HID smart card comes with a 5-year limited warranty covering the card's materials and workmanship. Additionally, the contact chip specifically carries a 1-year warranty. This dual warranty structure provides comprehensive protection, with the longer coverage for the physical card and specific protection for the electronic components that enable its smart functionality.
Why is this card packaged in 100-unit quantities?
The 100-unit packaging supports efficient bulk deployments for organizations implementing access control across multiple users or facilities. This packaging approach reduces per-unit handling costs, simplifies inventory management, and ensures consistency when issuing credentials to large groups such as employees, students, or facility occupants during system rollouts or renewals.
What connectivity or interface options are available?
Connectivity details help confirm how the product integrates with your network, accessories, and surrounding peripherals before rollout or replacement planning. They are often the difference between a technically compatible device and one that is genuinely easy to deploy.
What form factor or physical profile is listed?
the specifications are intended to help buyers confirm fit, compatibility, and expected day-to-day operation. In practical terms, the best reading of this product comes from how its hardware, connectivity, and deployment details work together.
