Bigfoot Studios is looking to incorporate RFID access control over important locations throughout the property and many personal use doors as well (such as dorm rooms). The current applications of RFID at Bigfoot Studios are displayed in this Wikidot page.
Project Status
- Dorm Rooms: Deployed and in use; 5/30/13
- Miami RFID: 100 commercial and 4 all access cards registered. Ready for stability and functionality testing. 3/12/13
- Wardrobe RFID: On hold. GSM currently working, Commercial RFID's not yet incorporated; 3/1/13
- Hollywood Suites RFID (Andrew's Door): Deployed and currently working; 3/14/13
- The housing for RFID is on modeling process
Projects
Bigfoot Dorm Room Access Control
Bigfoot provides rooming for individuals who have traveled to work here temporarily.
These rooms can now only be accessed using an RFID reader and card.

Register / Delete Cards
The device is capable of register/unregistering access cards. The video above demonstrates the function by the use of an ADMIN card.
To Register a Card
1. Scan admin card.
2. Scan card to be registered/unregistered. (Display will show if scanned card is currently registered or not)
3. Scan admin card again. (This will change the state of the card. i.e. from registered to unregistered, vice versa)
A confirmed message with beep will indicate that the card has been successfully modified.
Using Cards (Lock/Unlock)
Scanning registered cards will turn the RFID icon to green together with a beep which will indicate that the door is unlocked.
Scanning an unregistered card will result to a red RFID icon together with a low-tone error beep.

Note:
RDM6300 RFID module we have here reads EM4100 protocol while the commercial RFID readers are reading Wiegand 26 protocol. So, they are mutually exclusive of each other. If we standardize on RDM6300 we cannot use any of the commercial readers. Using both technologies means we'd have to track multiple IDs per tag/keyfob and to which reader device deployed - that would not be a smart direction to take (i.e. unnecessary complication and confusion, two code bases, additional management and overhead of system…).
