Idesco 8 CD 2.0 VS PIN or VM PIN – OSDPv2 Version

The PIN Code Reader with Secure OSDPv2 Interface

The Idesco 8 CD 2.0 MI OSDPv2 is an access control reader that combines PIN code identification with the reading of MIFARE transponder cards. It is offered exclusively in the OSDPv2 version: instead of classic Wiegand, RS-232, RS-485, or Clock&Data wiring, this reader communicates with the access control panel via the modern, bidirectional, encrypted OSDPv2 protocol.

The "MI" designation identifies the version that, in addition to physical MIFARE cards, also supports mobile access credentials via smartphone — the manufacturer explicitly points to a version with mobile credential support.

The eco-sensitive plastic housing uses less potting compound and less power than classic readers, and is available as standard in black. The reader is available in either the slim VS Pin or the compact VM Pin design.

PIN Code and MIFARE Card in One Device

The 8 CD 2.0 MI OSDPv2 can be operated both via the keypad and via a transponder card.

How the 8 CD 2.0 MI OSDPv2 Is Built

Despite its compact design, the reader combines a keypad, card reader, optical tamper protection, and status indicators in a single enclosed plastic housing.

Available as VS Pin and VM Pin

The 8 CD 2.0 MI OSDPv2 is available in two different designs, which differ primarily in size, housing shape, and keypad layout.

OSDPv2 Only

Unlike the base version of the 8 CD 2.0, which can be connected via Wiegand, RS-232, RS-485, or Clock&Data, this reader communicates exclusively via OSDPv2.

• Bidirectional, encrypted communication using AES or Triple DES
• LED and buzzer control possible directly via OSDPv2 protocol commands
• Reader configuration can also be carried out via the OSDPv2 interface itself
• Meets CE requirements as well as the field strength specifications of EN300330

Broad Support for MIFARE Technologies

The reader covers virtually the entire current MIFARE portfolio and offers additional security mechanisms against card cloning.

• MIFARE DESFire EV1, EV2 & EV3 with UID and application file reading
• MIFARE Classic with UID and sector reading
• MIFARE Ultralight with UID and page reading
• MIFARE Plus X, S, SE, EV1, EV2 with UID security levels 1 and 3
• MIFARE SmartMX in Classic emulation mode
• Support for random UID with DESFire EV1, EV2 & EV3 as well as Proximity EV2 & EV3
• UID reading configurable to 4 bytes, 7 bytes, or both — and can also be fully disabled for additional security
• Support for credit/debit functions via value-file cards

Setup via App or Configuration Card

Basic setup of the reader is done conveniently without installing separate software on a PC.

• Configuration via the Idesco Mobile Coder App on a smartphone
• Alternatively, configuration via a DESFire EV1, EV2, or EV3 configuration card
• Optional "configurable only after reset" setting for additional protection against unauthorized changes
• Configuration can also be carried out directly via the OSDPv2 interface

Built for Long-Term Use

The reader is designed for both indoor and outdoor operation.

• Screw mounting; the VM Pin design also fits into a standard flush-mount electrical box
• 3 m LIYY connection cable, available with connector on request
• Protection rating IP67 for the cable version, IP54 for the connector version
• Impact resistance rated IK-09
• Operating and storage temperature from -30 °C to +55 °C
• Operating voltage +10 to +30 VDC with a power consumption of 2.5 W in standard configuration

Commissioning in a Few Steps

Setting up the 8 CD 2.0 MI OSDPv2 is quick and easy, even without extensive prior knowledge.

1. Select the desired design (VS Pin or VM Pin) when ordering
2. Mount the reader with screws, or optionally insert it into a flush-mount box for the VM Pin version
3. Connect the wiring to the OSDPv2-capable access control panel
4. Carry out basic setup via the Mobile Coder App or a DESFire configuration card
5. Adjust UID length, LED and buzzer behavior, and key backlighting as needed
6. Optional: lock the reader to "changeable only after reset" after configuration

Why the 8 CD 2.0 MI OSDPv2 Is a Good Fit

Practical Application Examples

• Access control at office and building doors with an OSDPv2-capable panel
• Combined PIN and card identification for security-relevant areas
• Retrofitting existing OSDPv2 installations with additional readers
• Access to server rooms or storage areas with heightened security requirements
• Use of the VM Pin design in standard flush-mount boxes for new installations

The Idesco 8 CD 2.0 MI OSDPv2 combines broad support for common MIFARE card technologies with a modern, encrypted OSDPv2 connection — a practical solution for access control systems that rely on a secure, bidirectional reader connection.
