Paxton KP50 HID Reader for Secure Card and PIN Access
The Paxton KP50 HID Reader is a strong choice for organizations that want the convenience of HID 125kHz proximity credentials with the added security of keypad verification. Instead of relying only on a proximity card or key fob, facilities can configure access to require a PIN code, a card presentation, or both credentials together for higher-security openings.
This makes the Paxton 400-250-US reader especially useful for commercial doors, server rooms, employee entrances, restricted departments, gated access points, and any location where stronger access control authentication is needed without making daily entry difficult for authorized users.
Compatible HID 125kHz Credentials
The Paxton KP50 Proximity Keypad Reader with Genuine HID Technology™ supports HID 125kHz proximity credentials commonly used in commercial, healthcare, education, government, and industrial access control systems. Facilities moving to Paxton Net2 can often continue using existing HID proximity card populations, helping reduce credential replacement costs during system upgrades.
Compatible HID 125kHz credential families may include HID ProxCard II®, ISOProx®, DuoProx®, ProxKey® key fobs, MicroProx® tags, and other HID proximity credentials using supported 125kHz Wiegand formats.
Built for Paxton Net2 and Third-Party Access Control
The KP50 is designed for use with Paxton Net2 access control systems and may also be used with supported third-party access control platforms. Wiegand output is available with a separate activation license, giving integrators more flexibility when standardizing HID-compatible reader technology across different access control environments.
For facilities already using HID proximity cards, the KP50 provides a practical bridge between existing 125kHz credentials and modern Paxton access control hardware. Its combination of proximity reading, keypad entry, and Net2 compatibility makes it a versatile reader for both new installations and retrofit projects.
Indoor and Outdoor Access Control Reader
The Paxton KP50 reader is IPX7 rated, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Its slim profile works well on narrow door frames, mullions, storefront entrances, gates, and perimeter openings where a full-size reader may not fit cleanly.
The illuminated keypad and clear reader indicators help users complete access transactions quickly, while the compact black housing provides a professional appearance for modern commercial entry points.
