About the ShadowProx® System
The ShadowProx® family of 125 kHz proximity readers is engineered to provide dependable read performance while adding an extra layer of security to the access control system. Each compatible reader validates credential authenticity before transmitting card data to the host system, helping prevent unauthorized credentials from being accepted.
ShadowProx readers feature attractive architectural styling and flexible mounting options. They may be installed on door mullions, walls, single-gang or double-gang electrical boxes, or virtually any flat mounting surface, making them suitable for a wide variety of commercial installations.
ShadowProx credentials utilize proprietary KSF (Kantech Secure Format) technology, providing enhanced credential security and virtually eliminating duplicate card numbers. Organizations planning future upgrades can migrate seamlessly using Kantech multiCLASS® readers, which support both legacy 125 kHz ShadowProx credentials and newer 13.56 MHz iCLASS® smart card technologies.
