			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.advantidge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/visitor-badge.jpg" border="0" alt="" hspace="5" width="201" height="171" align="right" />Advantidge knows it is important to ensure that your facility remains secure at all times, and one of the best and easiest ways to do this is by knowing who is on or within your facility premises. A budget-friendly solution for effective visitor management is the Expiring Visitor Badge, which identifies and manages the traffic of all visiting persons who enter and leave a facility, so no visitors go undetected.</p>
<p>Ideal for <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/education-k-12">schools</a>, <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/membership">member only clubs</a>, <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/corporate">office buildings</a>, <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/government-2">government</a>, <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/military-2">military</a>, <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/transit">city transportation</a> and businesses of all types which require visitors to check-in at their time of entry. Expiring visitor badges are the perfect security management solution for tracking visitors, contractors, vendors, temporary workers, volunteers, <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/colleges-and-universities">substitutes and students</a>, and they can prevent/ deter fraudulent access of facilities, resources, or information stored on physical media.<img src="http://www.advantidge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/visitor2.jpg" border="0" alt="" hspace="5" width="240" height="240" align="left" /></p>
<p>Expiring visitor badges can ensure that you know the name of every visitor, so trespassers can be clearly identified, preventing unauthorized access to equipment, material, documents and personnel, safeguarding against espionage, sabotage, damage, and theft. Expiring visitor badges are tamper-proof and ideal for cost-effective, short-term visitor control. No hardware, software or electronics are required for their use, and they expire visually, preventing unauthorized re-use. Visiting time at your facility will stay regulated with the use of self-expiring guest badges.</p>
<p>Once activated a visitor badge lasts a set number of hours before it reads void, at which time a highly visible color, word or symbol will appear, alerting authorities that authorized visiting time is up, and trespassers with expired visitor badges can easily be identified up to as much as 50 feet away, with the visible change in badge color.</p>
<p>Expiring visitor badges are available in various expiration time-frames including Half Day (4 hour), Full Day (8 hour), Full Day (12 hour), Full Day (18 hour), One Week, and One Month. Expiring visitor badges are customizable and available in a variety of badge designs. Average badge size is 3&#8243; x 2&#8243;.</p>
<p>Advantidge offers several options for security management with expiring visitor badges including adhesive, red and yellow pre-punched card BackParts, thermal printable and manual card FRONTparts, a complete manual TIMEbadge solution pack, and the CARDclip clear plastic badge clip for use with expiring badges.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.advantidge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/hologramsm.jpg" border="0" alt="" hspace="5" width="150" height="127" align="right" />Holograms are commonly used today for visual security and authentication features on a variety of identification cards that provide value for the cardholder. Rainbow transmission holograms are formed as surface relief patterns in plastic film, incorporating a reflective aluminum coating that provides light to reconstruct a holographic image. Holograms from Advantidge are virtually impossible to copy because of their unique visual effects. They cannot be replicated by computer scanning/alteration or with color copiers or standard printing equipment, making them a highly secure defense against the threat of fraud or theft by counterfeiters. Holographic overlaminate adds visual security elements that are difficult to forge, but easy to authenticate, and can make your entire <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/id-card-systems">ID Card System</a>and organization more secure, as well as protect your ID cards from everyday wear and tear for a longer card life. For highest security, special order laminates can include features such as holograms, micro text, and color changing images.<br />
<img src="http://www.advantidge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/holog.jpeg" border="0" alt="" hspace="5" width="250" height="187" align="left" /></p>
<p> Holograms are the most reliable solution for organizations which require the utmost in security. Advantidge recommends applying holographic features to <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/military">ID Cards</a>, as well as bank cards, <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/entertainment">ID Cards</a>event VIP cards, driver licenses and <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/government-2">government ID cards</a>, national ID cards, polling cards, and <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/education">student ID cards</a>. When considering a custom hologram for a high value ID card, this unique technology is indispensable to maintaining <a href="http://www.advantidge.com/secure-access-control">secure access control</a>.<br />
 <br />
Advantidge is happy to offer the most secure ID card printers. Our most popular options capable of applying holograms are:</p>

Magnetic stripe cards also known as magstripe cards are PVC cards containing a band of magnetic material embedded in the resin on the back of the card. Magnetic stripe cards store updatable information on a magstripe, which is read when the card is swiped through a card reader.</p>
<p> There are two 2 types of magnetic stripe cards: <strong>high coercivity</strong> (HiCo) and <strong>low coercivity</strong> (LoCo). Usually low coercivity magnetic stripes are brown, while high coercivity stripes are almost black. HiCo cards are more reliable than LoCo cards, as their magnetic layer is denser and much less susceptible to stray field erasure from magnets, making them a better solution for those cards which are frequently used and/or require a longer life. Low coercivity stripes are easily damaged by even brief contact with magnets and are used for low value or low usage applications. Virtually all bank cards and government ID cards today are encoded on high coercivity striped cards.<img src="http://www.advantidge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/mstripesm.jpeg" border="0" alt="" hspace="5" width="116" height="116" align="left" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Proximity cards also known as prox cards, use radio frequency transmit/receive electronics (integrated circuit technology) to transfer data. This data transmits securely from a distance, making proximity cards unique in that they do not have to be swiped through a card reader, and they are the convenient solution for secure door access control or time and attendance applications. When in use, a card reader sends out a field that activates the antenna coil which lies within a proximity card, and charges the capacitor. Card information is then transmitted via this antenna coil to the card reader and if the information is found to be accurate access is granted, be it door entry or a monetary purchase. <img src="http://www.advantidge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/proxcardimage.jpg" border="0" alt="" hspace="5" width="150" height="101" align="right" /></p>
<p>Proximity cards currently operate at 125 kHz. They are powered by resonant energy transfer with a typical read range of 0-3 inches with longer read ranges made possible through the implementation of high powered readers. Advantidge offers a variety of long range card read solutions which can read up to 30 feet away using a combination of high powered signal boosters for the proximity and card readers.</p>
