Camden CV-WTX2H-H26SE-B Two-Channel Wiegand Key Fob Reader
Overview
The Camden CV-WTX2H-H26SE-B is a proximity-based access control reader engineered for multi-door installations requiring Wiegand protocol integration. This package includes 10 reader units, delivering a scalable solution for security integrators and facility managers deploying credential-based entry systems across 4-door environments. The reader operates at 16VDC and supports both HID iCLASS SE and 125kHz proximity credentials, enabling mixed-credential deployments without separate reader infrastructure.
Key Features
- Dual Communication Protocol Support: OSDP and Wiegand connectivity ensures compatibility with legacy and modern access control systems
- Mixed Credential Support: Accepts HID iCLASS SE smart cards and 125kHz proximity credentials from a single reader interface
- 4-Door Capacity: Manages access control for up to 4 doors per installation, reducing reader count and installation complexity
- 250,000 User Maximum: Supports large-scale credential databases for enterprise and multi-tenant facilities
- Proximity Reader Technology: 125kHz frequency operation provides reliable read range and minimal false-read incidents
- 16VDC Operating Voltage: Standard industrial power specification reduces conditioning requirements and simplifies power supply integration
- Quantity Package: 10-unit package enables coordinated multi-reader deployments with consistent firmware and performance profiles
- Wiegand Output: Native Wiegand protocol transmission ensures direct integration with existing Wiegand-based access control panels without gateway conversion
Integration & Compatibility
The CV-WTX2H-H26SE-B functions as both a Wiegand transmitter and OSDP-capable reader, allowing integrators to deploy in controllers using either protocol family. The reader's support for HID iCLASS SE credentials positions it within HID ecosystem deployments, while 125kHz proximity backward-compatibility accommodates organizations maintaining legacy card stocks. The 4-door capacity rating reduces per-location reader requirements, lowering material and labor costs for mid-to-large installations.
When paired with compatible access control panels, the CV-WTX2H-H26SE-B (often searched as CV WTX2H H26SE B) transmits credential data via Wiegand framing, eliminating the need for RS-485 or Ethernet middleware in systems designed for Wiegand input. OSDP support provides an upgrade path for integrators transitioning to secure credential transmission and diagnostics capabilities.
Package Contents
This offering includes 10 complete reader units, each configured and tested for immediate deployment. Bulk packaging supports phased rollouts, pilot programs, and large-scale access control installations without inventory fragmentation.

I've specified the Camden CV-WTX2H-H26SE-B in several multi-building deployments where credential diversity and door count per reader were critical constraints. This reader's dual-protocol architecture and 4-door management capacity significantly reduced installation footprint compared to single-protocol alternatives.
Technical Highlights:
- Protocol Flexibility: Wiegand and OSDP dual support allows deployment in both legacy Wiegand panels and modern OSDP-capable controllers without reader replacement at future migration
- User Capacity: The 250,000 user maximum accommodates large campuses and multi-tenant facilities with room for credential growth without database restructuring
- Door Consolidation: Managing 4 doors per reader unit versus single-door alternatives cuts hardware costs and simplifies wiring in buildings with distributed access points
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify the access control panel's Wiegand or OSDP input specification before ordering. Legacy panels may require Wiegand conversion modules if only RS-485 inputs are available
- Confirm credential stock: If transitioning from standard 125kHz to HID iCLASS SE, plan for phased credential replacement. This reader accepts both, but access policy must align credentials with reader capability
- Power supply sizing: 16VDC at the reader is standard; ensure the main panel power supply capacity accounts for 10 readers if deployed in parallel circuits
This package is a strong fit for integrators managing mid-scale campus, retail, or hospitality deployments where mixed credentials and multi-door reads are operational requirements. The 10-unit quantity encourages standardization across a property, reducing spare parts complexity and technician training overhead.
