Card & Fob Credentials

Card and fob readers put a physical credential at the door or gate instead of a code anyone can share verbally. Each credential is issued and revoked individually, and the system logs which one opened what, and when.

COST
5 FACTORS

What drives the cost

Scoped to your property, not a flat per-item rate. These are the factors that move the number, in the order they usually matter.

FACTOR
WHY IT MATTERS

Every credentialed opening needs its own reader and wiring.
Credential type
Basic cards are cheapest; encrypted fobs and mobile credentials cost more.
User count
Initial issuance time scales with how many credentials are needed.
Integration
Tying into an existing operator versus new installation.
Management platform
Cloud-managed versus local-only credential administration.

Card & Fob Credentials FAQs

What happens when someone loses a fob?

That single credential is deactivated — nobody else's access is affected, and a new one is issued in its place.

Can card readers integrate with a video intercom?

Yes, both typically feed the same gate or door operator and can share a single audit log.

Are fobs more secure than a shared code?

Yes — each credential is tied to a person and individually revocable, unlike a code that can be shared or written down.
