Visually and electronically identify and manage your inmate population on every budget.
RFID Wristbands.
RFID wristbands enhance security and point-of-contact identification and activity logging. Economical and easy to use, RFID wristbands are difficult to remove and swap.
RFID Cards.
GUARDIAN RFID Cards are plastic badges that can have a longer useful life than wristbands, sometimes resulting in a lower replacement rate than wristbands. RFID Cards support larger mugshots to see identifying information from greater distances than wristbands.
Why Not Use Barcodes?
GUARDIAN RFID has a number of advantages over barcodes: ease of use, read speed (20x faster than manual or barcode scanning), and durability. Barcodes have a number of disadvantages, and here are three examples:
1. Barcodes can fade and become easily unreadable in a short period of time – especially in corrections.
2. Barcodes can be more difficult to scan because they rely on clear line of sight; a barcode can also be convex – where the lines on the barcode partially wrap around the inmate’s wrist, making it difficult and time consuming to auto ID the offender.
3. Barcodes can be easily duplicated – potentially undermining data integrity.
