Camden CV-CSH Prox Card HID Protocol Clam Shell Style Pack of 10

The CV-CSH is an HID protocol 125 Mhz proximity card using 37 bit Wiegand, so it reads on equipment expecting that HID format and bit count. If your readers are 13.56 MHz smart card readers (iCLASS, MIFARE, DESFire) or use a different Wiegand bit length, the card will not read. Confirm your reader is 125 kHz HID prox and configured for 37 bit before ordering.

Yes. The CV series credentials are made to pair with Camden Door Controls access control system readers, and the CV-CSH is the HID protocol 125 Mhz card in that family. Match the reader's protocol to the card: the CV-CSH is 37 bit Wiegand.

Cards ship in packs of 10. For a multi-family or commercial building where you are issuing one credential per tenant plus spares, order in multiples of 10 and plan a few extra for replacements and vendor access.

The CV-CSH is a clamshell style credential, which is the thicker moulded card body. It punches and clips for a badge reel or lanyard and holds up well in maintenance and field use, but it is too thick for direct dye-sublimation photo ID printing. If you need a photo badge printed on the credential itself, a thin ISO style card is the right choice; for tenant fobs, contractor access, and MRO staff where no photo is needed, the clamshell is the usual pick.

It is credential only, ten proximity cards per pack. The reader, controller, and door hardware are separate line items, so a complete opening needs the reader and control board ordered alongside these cards.

Camden's CV series covers both proximity cards and tags, so the decision is about how people carry the credential rather than about compatibility. The CV-CSH is the card format, which suits badge clips and wallets for staff and tenants. A tag or fob format is the better choice where it rides on a keyring with unit keys, common on multi-family turnovers.
