Akuvox AV-ACR-CID01 Desktop Reader
€98.00
The compact USB desktop card reader for PC-based access management
The Akuvox AV-ACR-CID01 is a compact desktop card reader specifically designed for managing modern access control systems. Instead of enrolling cards at a door station, the AV-ACR-CID01 is simply connected to a computer via USB and quickly reads information from Bkey and RFID access cards in the administration office or at reception. This significantly simplifies the centralized issuance and registration of new ID cards, as no trip to the actual door station is required.
Plug and Play: The AV-ACR-CID01 is powered via USB (5 V DC, 0.5 A) and requires no additional driver installation to be recognized under Windows or iOS. A multi-technology reading module covers 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz, BLE, and NFC access media.
This makes the AV-ACR-CID01 an ideal complement to the Akuvox management platforms ACMS, SDMC, and the Akuvox Cloud for preparing cards and Bkey Bluetooth access cards for connected door stations and access controllers.
One reader for multiple access technologies
The AV-ACR-CID01 combines multiple reading technologies in a small, lightweight housing.
Multi-frequency reading technology
Reads 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz, BLE, and NFC access media in a single device.
USB Plug and Play
Power supply and data transfer via a single USB connection.
BLE support
Also reads Bluetooth-based Bkey access cards from Akuvox.
Acoustic feedback
Integrated buzzer confirms every successful read operation.
LED status indicator
Blue and green indicator light signals operating and read status.
Windows & iOS
Compatible with common Windows and iOS workstations.
How the AV-ACR-CID01 is built
The housing of the AV-ACR-CID01 is intentionally kept small and lightweight so it can be placed inconspicuously next to the keyboard and mouse on the desk.
Compact plastic housing
The housing is made of black plastic, measures only 66.8 × 104.7 × 12.1 mm, and weighs just 56 g – ideal for permanent placement on a desk.
Reading area with symbol
On the top, a card symbol marks the spot where access cards or Bkey media are placed for reading.
Status LED and buzzer
An LED indicator (blue/green) and an integrated buzzer provide immediate visual and acoustic feedback on operating status and read operations.
USB connection
A single USB port handles both power supply (5 V DC, 0.5 A) and data transfer to the connected computer.
How the AV-ACR-CID01 is used in everyday situations
The AV-ACR-CID01 is not used for access authorization itself, but for convenient registration and management of access media at the desk.
- Read new employee ID cards into the PC and store them in the system
- Register Bkey Bluetooth access cards before issuance
- Quickly assign card IDs to user profiles in ACMS or SDMC
- Manage large card inventories centrally in the administration office instead of at the door station
Practical example: A new employee receives their access card on their first day of work. Instead of sending them to the entrance door, the receptionist simply holds the card to the AV-ACR-CID01 at the PC, reads the card ID, and assigns it directly to the new profile in the management system.
Integration with Akuvox access management
The AV-ACR-CID01 complements Akuvox's central management platforms with a convenient option for card registration.
ACMS
Direct reading and assignment of cards in the Akuvox management software.
SDMC
Supports card registration within the SDMC administration.
Akuvox Cloud
Integration into cloud-based access management for multiple locations.
Bkey
Reads Akuvox Bkey Bluetooth access cards for registration.
