Technical Specifications
The NOC-50L4 leverages MIFARE DESFire EV3 architecture to provide advanced encryption, mutual authentication, and per-card key management—essential for high-security deployments. EAL 5+ certification validates the credential's resistance to physical tampering and cryptographic attacks, meeting rigorous evaluation standards for government, financial, and enterprise installations.
Operating at 13.56 MHz with a typical 3-inch read range, the card integrates seamlessly with existing HF RFID infrastructure. The durable PVC + PET composite construction withstands temperature extremes from -50°F to 160°F, ensuring reliable performance in outdoor gates, cold storage, and heated industrial environments.
VMS Integration & Ecosystem Compatibility
LEAF Si support is standard, enabling direct compatibility with Hanwha's video management ecosystem. LEAF Cc compatibility is available by request, providing flexibility for organizations standardizing on Hanwha technology stacks. This credential integrates smoothly into existing card issuance workflows and reader infrastructure.
Customization & Issuance
The white printable surface supports direct thermal imaging and dye-sublimation transfer, allowing on-site or centralized card personalization with photo IDs, barcodes, and branding. Flexible slot punch orientation (vertical or horizontal) accommodates badge holders and lanyards for diverse deployment scenarios.
Jerry TildsenPerspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.
The NOC-50L4 bridges the gap between compliance-driven security and operational flexibility. EAL 5+ certification is the decisive factor for organizations subject to FIPS 140-2, PCI-DSS, or government procurement standards—credentials at this level undergo independent evaluation of hardware, firmware, and cryptographic implementation. The MIFARE DESFire EV3 platform is mature and widely supported, reducing integration risk compared to emerging technologies.
For facilities teams, the wide operating temperature range and lightweight ISO form factor simplify deployment across mixed environments. The 3-inch read range is typical for HF systems and works well with wand readers, gate readers, and wall-mounted access points. Lifetime warranty reflects Hanwha's confidence in durability; credential failure is rare under normal use.
Key consideration: This is a blank credential. Organizations must pair it with compatible issuance software and readers. LEAF Si/Cc support ties it to Hanwha's VMS ecosystem; verify compatibility with your existing access control platform before bulk ordering.
