PACSprobe community edition

Card number check with keyboard wedge option

Access control installers love this access card utility for HID card credentials. It supports any HID card format on all HID OMNIKEY desktop readers. It is so easy to use … it doesn’t even have an “easy button”. Maintenance guys use it just to check if an HID key fob is still working because they don’t always have a door reader handy to test cards.

Card Number can be copied to clipboard or keyboard buffer (keyboard wedge).
