Vicon is best known for video surveillance, and the VAX access platform carries that integrator-friendly DNA: controllers that tie into video events, readers for standard doors and long-range lanes, and — most usefully for owners — credentials on open 125 kHz Wiegand rather than a captive format. A VAX-CRD-SD card is, at the data level, a standard 26-bit credential; the panel reads facility code and card number the way the whole industry does. Sites configured with custom structures exist, but they're the exception and your panel settings reveal them instantly. We supply unbranded, compatible-by-specification cards and fobs programmed to your VAX system's values — facility code, number range, and confirmed format — bench-verified before shipping so enrollment through VAX management works first time, every time.

View compatible cardsVicon VAX Proximity — FAQ
Are your VAX-compatible cards plug-and-play with VAX readers?
Yes — programmed to your system's format and facility code, they read on VAX-300R, VAX-500R, and VAX-600KP units like original stock and enroll through your normal VAX process. No reader or controller changes are involved.
What bit format do VAX credentials use?
Standard 26-bit Wiegand H10301 in the vast majority of deployments, with custom structures possible on integrator-specified projects. Your panel's format setting or a working sample card tells us which applies before we produce anything.
I don't know my facility code — can I still order?
Yes. Send clear photos of both sides of a working card plus your reader model; the printed numbering usually decodes to facility code and card number. If your site's cards are unprinted, your VAX software's credential list has the values.
Can one order mix cards and fobs?
Absolutely — both are programmed from the same specification and continue one number sequence, so mixed batches for staff badges and tenant keyrings are routine.
