Third-party RFID credentials
Although Kisi can work with all low-frequency RFID (125 kHz) card types, only the card formats listed below can be imported in bulk at the moment. It's essential to note that even though some types of RFID cards (such as HID) also exist as high-frequency (13.56 MHz) cards, they may not comply with NFC standards and are thus unsupported by Kisi.
- C15001 KeyScan (36-bit card) (125 kHz)
- EM410x/TK410x (for 26-bit readers) (125 kHz)
- EM410x/TK410x (for 32/34-bit readers) (125 kHz)
- HID H10301 (26-bit card) (125 kHz)
- HID H10302 (37-bit card) (125 kHz)
- HID H10304 (37-bit card) (125 kHz)

Assigning low-frequency RFID cards to work with Kisi
Kisi organization administrators can choose between multiple methods to assign third-party low-frequency RFID credentials to work with Kisi. The method used depends on whether they prefer manual assignment or bulk importing.
Manual assignment
Depending on the RFID card type, you must enter different value points: facility code, card code, card ID, OEM, etc.
The following low-frequency RFID credentials can be scanned at a Kisi reader:
- HID H10301 (26-bit card) (125 kHz)
- HID H10302 (37-bit card) (125 kHz)
- HID H10304 (37-bit card) (125 kHz)
You can enroll any third-party low-frequency RFID credential at a Wiegand reader, as long as the Wiegand reader supports the credential type.
Bulk importing
You can bulk import all the above mentioned third-party low-frequency RFID credential types. After you have imported your users into Kisi, choose the CSV template that corresponds to the type of credential you want to enroll and download it. Fill in the necessary information in the required fields, using our CSV format guide below. It's essential to have a separate CSV file for each type of card. Save your CSV file or files with the following naming convention: credential_type_organization_name. Finally, send the saved CSV file or files to your Kisi point of contact.
CSV format guide for bulk importing RFID credentials
Based on which low-frequency RFID card format you want to import into Kisi, you need to add different values to the CSV file. Fill out only the required fields and leave the rest empty.
