What Are Proximity Readers and How Do They Work?

Proximity readers are advanced access control devices that allow contactless, keyless entry to secure areas using RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology. They enhance security by ensuring that only authorized personnel can enter designated spaces, eliminating the risks associated with lost, stolen, or duplicated keys.

Key Functions of Proximity Readers

  • Contactless Access – Users simply wave a proximity card, key fob, or mobile credential near the reader to unlock doors, making entry fast and seamless.
  • Enhanced Security – Unlike traditional locks, credentials can be easily managed — granting, revoking, or updating access in real time.
  • Integration with Access Control Systems – Proximity readers can be standalone or part of a larger security system, offering centralized control and detailed entry logs.
  • Scalable & Versatile – Suitable for businesses of all sizes, from small offices to multi-location enterprises, and can be customized based on security needs.

Main Features of Proximity Readers

  • Contactless authentication for improved hygiene and efficiency
  • Programmable access levels to restrict or grant entry by time, location, or user group
  • Seamless integration with keyless entry, security alarms, and surveillance systems
  • Durable and weather-resistant designs for indoor and outdoor use
  • Tamper-resistant technology to prevent unauthorized duplication of credentials
  • Mobile compatibility with certain models for smartphone-based access

Card Credentials: Secure, Convenient Access for Your Business

Card credentials work alongside proximity readers to provide fast, secure, and keyless entry to restricted areas. These RFID-enabled cards or key fobs store encrypted data that is recognized by proximity readers, allowing authorized personnel to gain access with a simple wave — no physical contact required.

Key Functions of Card Credentials

  • Seamless, Contactless Access – Users tap or hold their card near the reader for instant entry.
  • Customizable Access Levels – Assign different permissions to employees, guests, or vendors based on roles and security requirements.
  • Easy Management & Revocation – Credentials can be activated, deactivated, or reassigned instantly, reducing security risks from lost or stolen cards.

Main Features of Card Credentials

  • Durable & Long-Lasting – Designed for daily use with water-resistant, tamper-proof construction.
  • Encrypted & Secure – Prevents duplication or unauthorized use with advanced encryption technology.
  • Versatile & Scalable – Works with proximity readers and access control systems for businesses of all sizes.
  • Mobile Integration (Optional) – Some systems allow digital credentials via smartphones for added convenience.

Commercial Alarm Systems: Frequently Asked Questions

Is my business too small for a commercial alarm system?

No business is too big or small and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. We customize large corporate campus installs as well as small business security systems providing every customer with an affordable, scalable alarm system.

Do you offer independent monitoring services for existing commercial alarm systems?

We offer monitoring services for both new and existing commercial alarm systems. When taking over a system built by another security company we will typically recommend upgrading legacy monitoring equipment with industry-grade Honeywell equipment.

Many customers need help protecting an overhead or rollaway door on a loading dock, storage unit, or light industrial unit. We have the tools and experience to make sure your door stays secure.
