So the TLDR is I meant to order the KBR1 RFID but I forgot to. I am in Canada and cant be bothered to pay import on something again… Is there an alternative that anyone knows of that I may be able to get? All I want it for is a windows 10 login…
I have one Option that might be also available in other countries…
Just search for ELATEC TWN4 - that one is quite often used for installing at Lexmark/Kyocera Printers for RFID Authentication - then it hast the manufacturer Label on the frontpanel. https://www.elatec-rfid.com/en-us/product-detail/twn4-multitech-2
I am sure that it will be cheaply available also in canada (just search for >>elatec twn<<).
I know that there are different readers available that ONLY support 125kHz or ONLY 13,56MHz, but the TWN4 is a Multi-Reader that has both options.
I bought some in Germany for around 20 Euro - thats something around 28 Canadian Dollars.
That might be an Option…
After you bought one, you can download the Software from elatec to Program the Reader/Update Firmware to setup what he should read and how it will be presented to the USB-interface.
So you can Swipe your Badge and the Interpreter on the Reader will send the UID and a Keystroke or extra Buttons to the PC - thats really nice
Holy hell, I’m seeing them listed for $150 in Canada. Seems like you got a steal… I’m a locksmith and one side of the company does access control so I may see if any of our suppliers carry it.
Oh no - i didn´t have the time to search for them yesterday - $150 is WAY tooo much for that.
But maybe you will find one as bargain in the next moments - as i know they are often rebranded to Lexmark, Kyocera, Nuance and so on. Hopefully one seller would also include the OEM Manufacturers Model into the description, then you will make a catch!
