Proximity
 Readers 

   
 
 

   

IBC currently offers 3 "flavors" of proximity readers:



Basic Prox Standard Proximity Readers by Pyramid with wiegand or aba outputs.
These readers are basic proximity readers, for direct connection to
access control controllers.
 
Smart Prox 
(internal)
Proximity readers which are compatible with IBC's J series, SA/STA series, and DC series. We offer 2 versions of these readers. One version is in a small casing, and reads proximity cards only. This version will be available mid 2003. The other version (available now) is contained in our standard housing, and can be ordered as a proximity only reader, or proximity plus barcode plus magnetic stripe (all in the same housing).
 
Smart Prox
(external)
This is the "external" version of the Smart Prox reader (above).
With the external version, you can connect any proximity reader with either wiegand or aba output, to the Smart Prox reader. This is a 2-piece solution to proximity reading. A 2-piece solution is beneficial in installations where the reader "guts" need to be hidden because of wiring or installation restriction.
 


Note that IBC 705 converters can also be used with any standard proximity reader that outputs either aba or wiegand format, in order to convert the proximity output into a different format. If your intent on using a Smart Prox J reader is for converting the data format, the 705 converter may be another option.
