2N 2N USB NFC External Secured RFID Card Reader

2N 2N USB NFC External Secured RFID Card Reader

The 2N 2N USB NFC External Secured RFID Card Reader (Model 01527-001) is a dual-frequency contactless credential reader designed for secure access control and identity verification in IP security deployments. Supporting both 13.56 MHz (NFC) and 125 kHz (LF) frequencies, this external reader enables seamless integration with Axis Camera Station and ONVIF-compatible platforms, providing flexible card technology support across legacy and modern access systems.

Key Features

• Dual-frequency RFID and NFC support: reads both 13.56 MHz (NFC/ISO14443) and 125 kHz (LF) cards for maximum credential compatibility
• USB plug-and-play connectivity for direct integration with Axis cameras, recorders, and control systems without additional gateways
• Secured RFID transactions with encryption and authentication support to prevent unauthorized card cloning and credential spoofing
• External form factor rated for outdoor and semi-exposed mounting at building entry points, turnstiles, and secure zones
• ISO/IEC 14443 Type A and B contactless card standard compliance for broad credential ecosystem compatibility
• DC bus-powered operation via USB, eliminating dedicated power supply requirements for simplified installation
• ONVIF-compatible platform support for integration with third-party access control and video management systems

Applications

The 01527-001 is ideal for secure perimeter access control, building entry verification, visitor management systems, and multi-credential environments requiring both modern NFC and legacy 125 kHz card support. Encryption support makes it suitable for high-security applications where credential spoofing prevention is critical.

The dual-frequency design of the 01527-001 addresses a critical operational challenge in enterprise security: the coexistence of legacy 125 kHz access systems and modern NFC/13.56 MHz infrastructure. Rather than requiring separate readers or costly system replacement, this single external unit supports both standards, reducing hardware complexity and integration costs.

The encrypted RFID transaction capability is particularly valuable in high-security deployments where cloning attacks pose operational risk. Combined with ONVIF compatibility, the reader enables integration into broader VMS ecosystems beyond Axis-only environments, providing flexibility for mixed-vendor deployments common in enterprise security architectures.

USB plug-and-play operation and DC bus powering eliminate infrastructure burden—no dedicated conduit or power supply provisioning required at installation points. This accelerates deployment timelines while reducing total cost of ownership in multi-site access control projects.
