Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Hikvision S50+TK4100 used for?

It is a dual-frequency RFID access card used for compatible electronic door access, employee identification and card-based attendance terminals.

2. Does S50+TK4100 support both 125 kHz and 13.56 MHz readers?

Yes, with compatible credential formats. It combines EM proximity and MIFARE 1 technologies, but exact reader compatibility must be verified.

3. Can one S50+TK4100 card work with two separate access systems?

Potentially yes. Each system must support the appropriate credential technology, and the card may need to be enrolled separately in both systems.

4. Can the card be rewritten?

The MIFARE smart-card interface supports read/write functions. The legacy EM credential should not be advertised as independently rewritable.

5. Does S50+TK4100 require a battery or internet connection?

No. It is a passive RFID card. The card itself does not need a battery or internet connection, although connected management systems may have separate requirements.

Hikvision S50+TK4100 Dual-Frequency Access Control Card – Sri Lanka Buying Guide

The Hikvision S50+TK4100 Access Control Card is a professional dual-frequency RFID credential designed for organizations using compatible electronic door access and employee time attendance systems in Sri Lanka.

Combining 125 kHz EM proximity technology and 13.56 MHz MIFARE 1 smart card technology, the S50+TK4100 provides a convenient solution for businesses operating different types of RFID card readers.

Instead of carrying separate EM and MIFARE credentials, employees can use a single dual-technology card when both access systems have been properly configured to recognize their respective card credentials.

Featuring 1 KB EEPROM memory, contactless read/write functionality on the MIFARE interface, a manufacturer-specified reading distance of up to 10 cm, and a standard thin PVC card design, the Hikvision S50+TK4100 is suitable for offices, factories, hotels, warehouses, retail businesses, educational institutions and commercial buildings.

Recommended Business Applications

Corporate Offices

Provide employees with one physical card for compatible EM and MIFARE access control systems across different office entrances and departments.

This is particularly useful when an organization is upgrading its access control infrastructure but still operates an older supported reader system.

Factories & Manufacturing Facilities

Use dual-frequency employee credentials for compatible staff entrances, operational departments and time attendance terminals.

Hotels & Hospitality Businesses

Support compatible staff access control systems at administration offices, service areas, storerooms and employee-only entrances.

Hotel guest-room locking compatibility must be checked separately.

Warehouses & Distribution Centres

Issue credentials to employees accessing storage facilities, logistics offices and controlled warehouse entrances.

Retail Stores & Supermarkets

Manage authorized employee access to stockrooms, management offices and restricted staff areas.

Educational Institutions

Provide compatible contactless credentials for staff, administration departments and controlled access points.

Businesses Upgrading Access Control Systems

The Hikvision S50+TK4100 is particularly useful when an organization is transitioning from supported 125 kHz EM readers to compatible 13.56 MHz MIFARE readers.

Employees may be able to use the same physical card during the transition, provided both credential technologies are enrolled and configured correctly.

How Does the Hikvision S50+TK4100 Work?

The S50+TK4100 combines two RFID credential technologies within one physical card.

125 kHz EM Function

When presented near a compatible EM proximity reader, the card's low-frequency credential can transmit its identification data to the access control system.

13.56 MHz MIFARE Function

When presented near a compatible MIFARE 1 reader, the card communicates using its high-frequency smart card interface.

The MIFARE functionality provides read/write memory capabilities for supported applications.

Access Authorization

The reader sends the appropriate credential information to the connected access terminal or controller.

The access management system checks whether that credential is registered and has permission to access the selected door.

The card does not independently unlock doors or record employee attendance. These functions are controlled by the connected access control terminal and software.

Important Factors to Consider Before Buying

• Verify Reader Compatibility: The reader must support the relevant EM or MIFARE credential technology.
• Dual-Frequency Does Not Mean Universal: Not every 125 kHz or 13.56 MHz reader will necessarily support the exact credential format.
• Separate Credential Enrolment: When using both technologies across different systems, the EM and MIFARE identifiers may require separate registration.
• MIFARE Read/Write Function: Data writing applies to the supported smart card interface, not automatically to the legacy EM credential.
• Reading Distance: The maximum 10 cm specification is reader-dependent and may be shorter in actual installations.
• Security Requirements: Legacy EM and MIFARE Classic credential technologies are not suitable for every high-security application. Evaluate stronger supported credentials where needed.
• Lost Card Management: A lost card should be disabled in every relevant access control system where it is registered.
• Employee Attendance: Time attendance reporting is handled by compatible terminals and software rather than the card.
• Card Printing: Confirm compatibility with the intended card printer and printing process before offering custom card printing.
• Purchase Quantity: Confirm whether the listed selling price is per card or per pack.
• Replacement Card Matching: Check the existing reader and credential type before replacing an EM-only or MIFARE-only card.

Why Choose Hikvision S50+TK4100?

The Hikvision S50+TK4100 offers practical flexibility for businesses using compatible EM and MIFARE access control systems.

Its main advantage is combining two RFID technologies within one physical credential.

For organizations with multiple access readers or an ongoing security system upgrade, this can help simplify employee credential distribution and reduce the need to carry separate cards.

The standard PVC format is convenient for daily use, while its passive RFID design requires no charging or battery maintenance.

The S50+TK4100 is a useful choice when both credential technologies are specifically required and verified as compatible.
