Managing visitors effectively is no longer just about signing a paper logbook — it’s about security, compliance, and a seamless user experience. Modern visitor management systems (VMS) integrate directly with electronic access control systems, allowing organizations to issue secure temporary credentials, monitor entry activity, and maintain accurate visitor logs.
When paired with standard proximity formats such as the 26 bit H10301 format, a visitor management system can automatically assign access permissions to temporary badges, key fobs, or adhesive tags that work with the same card readers used by employees.

Integrating visitor management software with your access control system improves both security and operational efficiency. Instead of handing out paper badges or unsecured cards, visitors can be issued encoded proximity credentials that expire at the end of their visit — preventing unauthorized re-entry and simplifying compliance tracking.
For example, a facility using a 125 kHz 26 bit H10301 format system (the industry’s most common open Wiegand standard) can issue temporary proximity cards or fobs encoded to that same format. These cards will read properly on HID, and all 26 bit H10301 proximity readers — no special setup or reprogramming required.
The 26 bit H10301 format has become the universal baseline for access control credentials. Its data structure includes:
This simplicity and wide support make 26-bit ideal for visitor credentials, short-term access cards, and cross-system compatibility. Many visitor management systems, including those used in offices, schools, and healthcare facilities, can automatically encode or assign 26-bit card numbers when integrated with compatible printers and encoders.
By standardizing on 26-bit, administrators can ensure visitor badges and long-term employee IDs both work seamlessly across the same physical access points.
The 26 bit H10301 format works with almost every mainstream 125 kHz proximity reader on the market. Common examples include:
This universal compatibility allows visitor management systems to issue temporary credentials that can be used immediately, without new hardware or wiring changes.
Corporate Offices: Automatically print visitor badges encoded to your 26-bit access format, granting timed access to meeting rooms or lobby areas.
Healthcare Facilities: Assign 26-bit encoded adhesive tags to contractors or medical representatives for same-day access, then deactivate them at checkout.
Educational Institutions: Integrate visitor management software with existing HID readers to provide secure temporary access for guests or event staff.
Government Buildings: Use pre-encoded 26-bit proximity fobs or cards for temporary staff and external vendors to maintain compliance and traceability.
