Camden CV-550SPK surface-mount standalone access control station

The Camden CV-550SPK is a high-performance, surface-mount standalone access control station designed for maximum flexibility and durability. Unlike standard readers that limit you to a single brand of credentials, the CV-550SPK features dual-protocol support, allowing it to read both 125 kHz HID® and EM format proximity cards and fobs.

Housed in a rugged, vandal-resistant Zinc Alloy electroplated case, this unit is built for high-traffic commercial and industrial environments. With an IP68 waterproof rating, it is fully potted and designed to perform in extreme weather conditions, from heavy rain to freezing temperatures.
