RFID Module in Hideez Key

The RFID module is commonly used for identification in access control systems. Hideez Key can work on two different standards: HID or Em-Marine. However, they cannot be used simultaneously. Hideez Key can store only one RFID code at a time.

The key fob comes with a unique code that has already been put in Em-Marine standard. To use it as tag for your RFID-enabled door system, you should ask your access system provider to include this code into their system.

This code can be replaced by any other code both in the Em-Marine and HID standard. This procedure requires special hardware called a programmer. This equipment is supplied as a part of commercial access control systems (ACS), or it can be purchased separately.

You may ask authorized locksmith service to clone your exiting key fob on Hideez Key.
