Honeywell PVC-H-5-SPEC HID PVC Proximity Card

Overview

The PVC-H-5-SPEC is an HID-format PVC proximity card used as a credential for badge-based access control readers. It solves the basic credentialing problem for facilities issuing or replenishing employee and visitor access cards: a printable PVC card body carrying an embedded proximity chip that a compatible reader can scan on presentation. This is a consumable credential, not a reader or panel — order it to provision new users or to replace lost, damaged, or expired cards in an existing deployment.

Compatibility

The PVC-H-5-SPEC is built to the HID proximity card format, intended for use with HID-compatible proximity readers deployed as part of an access control system. Confirm your reader and access control panel are configured for HID proximity credentials before ordering, since proximity card formats are not universally interchangeable across reader brands. Evidence available for this SKU does not specify frequency (125kHz) or a specific HID card format number (e.g. ProxCard II, ISOProx) — verify exact reader compatibility against your existing card stock or reader documentation before large-volume orders.

Installation Notes

No install is required beyond standard credential provisioning: enroll the card's ID in your access control software and issue it to the end user. As a PVC card, it accepts direct printing on compatible card printers for badge personalization, making it suitable for combined photo-ID-and-access-badge programs.

For sites also deploying networked door hardware, pair credential rollouts with a review of your proximity and smart card readers and confirm panel capacity before a mass card swap. If you're standardizing credentials across multiple buildings, a access control planning guide is worth reviewing before committing to a single card format.
