What's the difference between Prox and iCLASS?
Prox (125 kHz) is older proximity technology - simple and cost-effective but easier to clone. iCLASS (13.56 MHz) offers advanced encryption, higher security, multi-application support, and mobile credential capability. iCLASS SE is recommended for new installations.

What is a multi-technology reader?
Multi-technology readers support multiple credential types simultaneously (e.g., Prox + iCLASS + Mobile). This allows you to upgrade security by issuing new secure credentials while legacy cards continue working during migration - protecting your investment.
How secure are HID credentials?
HID iCLASS SE credentials use advanced encryption and mutual authentication, making them virtually impossible to clone. Mobile credentials add additional security with encrypted Bluetooth/NFC communications and dynamic authentication that changes with each use.
Can HID readers be used outdoors?
Yes, HID produces IP65/IP67 weatherproof readers specifically designed for outdoor use in harsh Australian conditions. These readers withstand rain, dust, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures from -35°C to 65°C.
