Geovision GV-READER-530 13.56 MHz RFID Card Reader

Overview

The Geovision GV-READER-530 is a thin-type RFID card reader operating at 13.56 MHz — the industry standard frequency for MIFARE and DESFire credential systems. Deploy this reader at access control entry points where you need reliable, contactless card-based identity verification. The compact form factor slides into tight mounting scenarios without consuming real estate at doorways or security checkpoints. This device integrates directly into Geovision access control platforms and third-party systems that support ISO/IEC 14443 Type A and Type B card standards — the credential types you'll find in most enterprise and government badge programs already in the field.

Compatibility

The GV-READER-530 works with Geovision access control ecosystems, including door controllers, credential management software, and audit logging infrastructure. Its 13.56 MHz frequency aligns with the vast installed base of MIFARE and DESFire ID cards deployed across commercial, enterprise, and government facilities. The reader supports standard access control wiring protocols used by security integrators in multi-layered physical access systems. Verify specific controller model compatibility with your system integrator before purchase — 13.56 MHz readers work across most modern access control platforms, but wiring and software integration points vary by manufacturer.

Installation Notes

Wall-mount the GV-READER-530 at entry points using the thin-type housing design to minimize protrusion. The cable form factor connects directly to access control wiring — confirm your controller supports 13.56 MHz read frequency before installation. No external power supply required if wired through a PoE-capable access control system; verify your specific controller's power delivery capability. Position the reader at consistent distance from card presentation points (typically 2–4 inches) to optimize read reliability.
