Hardware FAQs

What frequency does your active rfid equipment operate at?

We operate at 433MHz.

What is an Exciter?

The GuardRFID Exciter creates a low frequency security field, typically around a door or portal. The field can be sized from 2 – 18 feet depending on the door/portal to be protected. When a prohibited tag enters the field – an event triggers in the Argus platform. Since the local Tag Reader/Controller stores unique IDs, this event is instant and redundant – providing a secure perimeter.

What if I need to get around the RF Exciter field?

We designed in a ByPass for those unusual situations. The ByPass can be programmed to recognize a ‘door open’ event as well.

Is the Argus platform a piece of hardware or software?

Yes and Yes, Argus is a combination of RF hardware and software with data management that creates a flexible active rfid platform to achieve the goals of most active RFID installations.

Can I add electronic key entry and CCTV IP Video to my active RFID system?

Yes, the Argus platform was designed to accept a variety of peripheral devices to optimize your system work for your unique environment.
