- Is there interference at the reader installation site (metal on the back or near the device) that noticeably reduces RFID performance and makes reading difficult?
- Worried that hackers might use an electronic brute-force attack to open the door?
- Concerned about mechanical key wear and water-resistance ratings?
The world's #1 HID reader held an online webinar in June for its new HID Signo reader — did you miss it? No worries, in July Pro-Link shares 3 key features of the new reader
(Feature 1) Is there interference at the reader installation site (metal on the back or near the device) that noticeably reduces RFID performance and makes reading difficult?
The new HID Signo features Automatic Surface Detection (ASD), which provides a “reliable” read range for different RFID technologies and their combinations. Once powered on, the reader automatically calibrates its read range, significantly improving performance — especially when mounted on metal.
(Feature 2) Worried that hackers might use an electronic brute-force attack to open the door?
The new HID Signo has a built-in attack-rate detection feature that can detect this kind of situation and offers multiple ways to notify and manage it.
(1) Triggers an open-collector/tamper output
(2) Sends an abnormal status signal
(3) OSDP notification
(4) Fully locks out the reader
(Feature 3) Concerned about mechanical key wear and water-resistance ratings?
HID Signo uses a capacitive keypad
(1) A keypad with no moving mechanical parts provides better environmental durability
(2) Multiple backlight color options
(3) A visually-impaired mode to assist blind or low-vision users in entering keypad input
Reduces the sensitivity to and extra time needed when entering a PIN
Eliminates the transmission of irrelevant data to the panel
(4) IP65 rating
