It is important when picking an Omnikey reader from the HID reader range, that your card technology such as proximity, mifare, iclass etc. are compatible with the HID omnikey reader you choose. Unicard can help with this, please contact us for assistance.
It is extremely common for our customers not to know their access control format however Unicard can assist over the phone to ask some simple questions to ascertain what your card technology and format is. If we are unable to find any further information over the phone, Unicard will request a card or fob sample which will provide an immediate result and we can provide a quote for more card/fob stock and access readers to suit.
An ‘Access Controller’ is usually installed by a security installer which is then connected to Access Readers. The Access Readers are of a thin build and are normally installed on a door frame. Depending on the card/fob credentials that are presented, the access readers will either revoke access or allow access by releasing a magnetic door strike (or similar) for a limited time which will allow the card holder to open the door.

By reading and printing the card in the one process, it removes all room for error and makes for a much more simple, fast and cost-effective process. Contact Unicard today to discuss which Omnikey field upgrade module is best suited for your card type.
Omnikey card readers can simply output via Keyboard wedge therefore no software is required. The configured reader will simply output the number to whatever program you have open.
