AirShield DESFire Card: operate your alarm without a PIN code
The AirShield DESFire Card is a MIFARE DESFire proximity card that lets you arm and disarm your AirShield alarm without entering a code. Hold the card up to an AirShield keypad with a card reader and you are done.
The DESFire card has an encrypted chip that is difficult to copy, the most secure choice for access and alarm operation. Assign each card to a user, so that you know exactly who operated the system and when.
Why choose the AirShield DESFire Card
Operate without a code
Hold the card up to the keypad and the system arms or disarms. Faster than a PIN code and there is nothing to mistype.

Works with both keypads
For use with the AirShield Keypad and the AirShield LCD Keypad, both with a built-in card reader.
Encrypted and secure
The DESFire chip is encrypted and difficult to copy, ideal when security comes first, at home and in business.
