  4. Credentials

Credentials

Credentials are cards and tags that can be scanned by a reader.

Access control credentials come in many forms, often as a card, fob, or clicker. These credentials are tied to an individual user and are each encrypted to ensure security. Every single credential in an access control system can be given access rights that only allows them to gain access through certain doors. In essence, credentials allow for the management and monitoring of people through a building.

One-button and four-button transmitters, typically attached to a key ring, provide up to 500 feet (150 m) of transmit range to the receiver. The four-button transmitter can be programmed for multiple frequencies to accommodate multiple receivers.

NXT is Keri’s newest access control platform providing unmatched system flexibility, ease of use, and cost effectiveness. Utilizing true peer to peer Ethernet communications for networking between controllers and software, the system has eliminated the single point of failure prevalent in most other access control systems. A new standard in security, NXT is first of a new generation of equipment to utilize encrypted data from Cards to Readers.
