How the compatible Vicon VAX Proximity (VAX-CRD) works
The Vicon VAX Proximity (VAX-CRD) is a dual-frequency credential operating on both 125 kHz LF and 13.56 MHz HF, so the compatible part must carry the correct data on whichever band your readers use. Its data structure is fleaPower low-power tech. When you present a credential, the reader decodes that exact structure and passes it to your access-control panel as a card number it recognises.
We build the compatible Vicon VAX Proximity (VAX-CRD) by encoding the identical data structure onto a programmable T5577 chip. Once written, the reader cannot tell the difference between our credential and the original — it presents the same bits, the same facility code, and the same card number. That is what "compatible by specification" means: not a generic look-alike, but a credential engineered to read exactly as the original does.
The Vicon Industries format sits among the specialist proximity credentials most card vendors never tooled up to produce — which is why the only other source is usually the original manufacturer, at a steep premium. Supporting these hard-to-find formats is exactly what Security ID Systems specialises in. Tell us the format printed on your card, or send a sample for us to read, and we confirm compatibility before you order.
